For many children, it means a big step towards independence. As a parent, it can be nice to stay involved in your child&#8217;s mbo education, especially if your child is not yet adult or still lives at home. But how does parent involvement work in mbo?<\/p>\n","inhoud":"<h3>How can you be involved as a parent in mbo?<\/h3>\n<p>Parent involvement has a different role in mbo than in primary or secondary education. Your child is encouraged to take responsibility for their education, but that does not mean your role as a parent is not needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our tips to be involved as a parent:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask your child regularly how school is going, if they need help with anything, and show interest in <a href=\"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/en\/stage-tijdens-de-mbo-opleiding\/\">internships<\/a> or projects. This gives your child the feeling you are involved without putting too much pressure on them.<\/li>\n<li>In mbo, you can often still contact the school for questions about your child&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/en\/wat-leert-mijn-kind-op-het-mbo\/\">learning process<\/a>. Many courses organize parent evenings or information meetings. This is a good moment to meet the teachers and ask questions.<\/li>\n<li>Mbo offers a lot of choice, like choosing projects or internships. As a parent, you can help by going over the options with your child and supporting them in their choices. You can also play a big role in choosing the mbo course itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"Choosing a vocational education course: tips for parents","url":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/en\/choosing-an-mbo-course-tips-for-parents\/","target":""},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"extra_inhoud_blok","inhoud":"<h3>Permission from 16 years<\/h3>\n<p>In mbo, once your child is 16 years old, they must give permission themselves to share information with parents.<\/p>\n<p>This means schools usually do not share information about progress or learning without the student&#8217;s permission beyond this age. As a parent, you can discuss this with your child and make agreements about sharing updates about education.<\/p>\n<h3>Parent council in mbo<\/h3>\n<p>At mbo schools, there can be a parent council where parents can think along about topics like school policy, student support, and the school atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>The parent council can also help organize information meetings and improve communication and cooperation between parents and school.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"knop","knop":{"title":"Parent council at mbo","url":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/en\/school-participation-council-at-vocational-education\/","target":""},"kleur":"primary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"faq","selecteer_faq":"Ouderbetrokkenheid en samenwerking"}],"samenvatting":"As a parent, it can be nice to stay involved in your child's mbo education.
