Are you already participating in the Landelijk Ouderpanel?.

The voice of parents is what the Landelijk Ouderpanel wants to hear. More than 4100 fathers and mothers share their views through large studies and short surveys about education and parenting. We discuss the results with, for example, the Education Inspectorate, the Ministry of Education, or the school governing bodies. Together, we want to make it easier and better for parents.

How does it work?

Members of the Landelijk Ouderpanel receive an email a few times a year inviting them to join an online survey. For example, about the teacher shortage, the school advice in group 8, homework support and the voluntary parent contribution. You only get invitations for surveys that fit your situation. So if you have teenagers at home, you will not get invitations for surveys about the preschool period. And of course, you can choose if you want to take part.

Do you want to share your opinion and be heard as a parent? Sign up and join the conversation about topics that matter to you as a parent.

More attention for parents

Through the Landelijk Ouderpanel, parents give input about topics related to education and parenting. The results help improve information for parents and raise the role and position of parents with schools, education organizations, and other professionals. Also, the results often get attention in the media, and thanks to the Landelijk Ouderpanel, the government in The Hague hears the voice of parents better. Your voice really matters through the Landelijk Ouderpanel.
