Which subjects are compulsory and which are not? What are the rules about moving up or repeating a year? And what about your child's report?
Besides the legally required subjects, the primary school can add non-compulsory subjects like French, German, and religion. Parents can discuss these subjects through the school participation council. In secondary education, the core subjects are compulsory, and then a profile is chosen.
To track individual progress, there is a student monitoring system in primary school. The most used tests at primary school are from Cito. If your child falls behind, is ahead, or gets stuck, it is important to find out early what support is needed and what help is given.
In the upper years of secondary school, students take tests that count toward their final exam. Schools mostly decide how the school exam looks. Students finish their education with the central final exam.
