Parent, Student, And Education Organizations Send Call To Informateur.

Today, Ouders & Onderwijs Together With Other Education Organizations Sent A Letter To Informateur Buma. In This Letter, We Ask The New Cabinet To Invest Strongly In Education. Good Education Is The Basis For Equal Opportunities, A Strong Society, And The Future Of Our Children.

 

Lobke Vlaming, Director Of Ouders & Onderwijs, Emphasizes That Education Must Be High On The Agenda Of A New Cabinet. She Says That Ouders & Onderwijs Together With All Parties In Education Calls On Politics To Finally Work On Clear Conditions For Tailored Education, More Space For Career Switchers, Better Secondary School Transition Test Opportunities, And Reducing Test Pressure For Children. “We Are Happy To Talk With Politics About How We Can Work Together To Achieve This.”

What Do We Ask?

Invest In Teachers
Good Education Is Impossible Without Good Teachers. We Want Career Switchers (People Who Become Teachers From Another Profession) To Be Better Supported, With A Full Salary And Good Guidance. Smaller Classes Are Also Important To Reduce Work Pressure And Give More Attention To Students.

Equal Opportunities For Every Child
The Transition From Primary School To Secondary School Must Be Better. Our Current System Selects Students Too Early And Too Definitively, Which Reduces The Chance For Children To Show Their Talents. We Also Want Childcare To Be Accessible For All Children And For Laptops And Tablets To Be Free For Parents.

Tailored Education
The Starting Point Must Be That There Is A Place For Every Child At A Nearby School With The Right Support. Good Examples From Practice Show That This Is Possible. But It Only Works On A Large Scale If Classes Become Smaller And Teachers Get Better Support.

Healthy And Sustainable School Buildings
Many School Buildings Are Outdated, Which Can Make The Indoor Climate Unhealthy. We Ask The New Cabinet To Provide Extra Funds For Renewal And Sustainability.

The Letter Was Sent On Behalf Of Ouders & Onderwijs, Voor Werkende Ouders, VO-Raad, PO-Raad, AVS, AOb, CNV, FvOv, LAKS, VH, UNL And The MBO-Raad.
