Ouders &#038; Onderwijs works for the best education for our children. To achieve this, it is important that the voice of parents is heard. And that parents are well informed. That is why we help parents by informing and advising them about everything related to education. We also represent parents towards politics, the education sector, and the media. Through our National Parent Panel, where more than 8,600 parents are connected, we know what parents think and feel. Ouders &#038; Onderwijs does two things: we strengthen and represent parents.<\/p>\n<h3>Strengthening parents<\/h3>\n<p>Our organization helps parents by strengthening them. We answer their questions and give focused advice. With a small team of 17 people, we are ready every day to answer questions. Among other ways, via the knowledge base on our website or by phone, personal advice through the advice point, and by staying in contact with parents by email, WhatsApp and social media. We answer more than 15,000 parent questions each year.<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> inform parents<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> in the following ways:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Personal advice via <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-staging.oudersenonderwijs.nl\/contact\/\" rel=\"\">the advice point<\/a><\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Detailed information via <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-staging.oudersenonderwijs.nl\/kennisbank\/\">the knowledge base on the website<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stay informed <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-staging.oudersenonderwijs.nl\/inschrijven-nieuwsbrief\/\">through the newsletter <\/a><\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The latest news <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">via<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OudersOnderwijs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OudersOnderwijs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/ouders-&amp;-onderwijs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/oudersonderwijs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Representing parents<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ouders &#038; Onderwijs represents the voice of parents in politics, schools and education.
