Wanted: Parents with an opinion.

19 November 2025 News

Do you have an opinion about your child's education? Then we are looking for you! Sign up for the Landelijk Ouderpanel and join in short online surveys. So that we can speak on behalf of parents with politics, the education sector, and media about problems and solutions in education. Will you join?

Join our short online surveys and help us raise attention for the opinions and experiences of parents.

Your opinion makes a difference

Through the Landelijk Ouderpanel, Ouders & Onderwijs knows what parents think about school and education. And what can be better. Together with you, we help make education better for our children. Here is what you need to know about it:

  • We talk with politicians and organizations in education about what should change (or not).
  • We contact the media to raise attention for the opinions and experiences of parents.
  • Your opinion is very important. The more parents join, the more influence we have.

How does it work?

  • Joining is easy and takes little time
  • You will get an invitation for an online survey a few times a year
  • You choose if you want to get the survey by email or Whatsapp
  • Joining usually takes 5 minutes per survey, sometimes a bit longer
  • The surveys cover current and important topics in education
  • How often you get a survey depends on your personal situation. For example, we do not send surveys about teenagers to parents with young children.
  • You decide for each survey if you want to join and you can unsubscribe anytime.

Almost 10,000 parents already join

Joining the parent panel is important. Because together we improve education. You give your opinion and we talk with organizations in education, the government, and politics. To solve problems and find solutions. If that does not work, we ask the media to pay attention to the parents’ perspective. And remember: the more parents join, the bigger the impact.

More diversity wanted

At Ouders & Onderwijs we see every day how important it is to hear all parents. Education shapes our children’s future, but often the voices of fathers, parents with a migration background, and parents with a practical education are missing. It is important to hear and represent all parents. We want our Landelijk Ouderpanel to be a good reflection of all parents in the Netherlands. That is why we ask all parents to sign up for the panel. Because together we can bring change.

About the Landelijk Ouderpanel

With the Landelijk Ouderpanel, Ouders & Onderwijs maps the opinions and experiences of parents. This gives us a clear picture of what is happening among parents and what they think about important education topics. It works well with our advice point, where parents can get personal advice for questions and problems. Do you have a question? Contact us for free.
