The final test in primary education will not take place this year due to the coronavirus. The schools will fully focus on caring for students and organizing distance learning. Minister Arie Slob announced this on Wednesday.
School advice
In recent weeks, the students in group 8 received the school advice from their teacher. This is based on looking at the child’s development over the past years. It was already leading and will now also decide which stream children enter in secondary school.
Admiration
‘We are asking a lot from the teaching staff right now. I have great admiration for all those teachers and school leaders who use all their creativity to provide education to children who stay home. This is now a priority for schools. I ask for everyone’s understanding,’ writes Minister Slob in the parliamentary letter.
Right place
He calls on primary schools to prepare group 8 students as well as possible for secondary education in cooperation with secondary schools. The minister emphasizes that at secondary school level it will also be carefully checked whether children are in the right place. Agreements about this are still being made.
