Since last year, the law has stated that children may never be excluded from activities such as school trips, even if parents cannot or do not want to pay the contribution. But what if the share of parents who do not pay is so high that extra activities are no longer possible due to lack of money? Then camps and school trips might not take place anymore. This seems to happen mostly at schools where children have parents with less money.","inhoud":"

\u2018If not a single child may be excluded by law from \u2018extra activities\u2019 at school, schools with tight budgets may not organize trips at all.\u2019 This was written by Arjan van der Meij, physics teacher, this week in the opinion section of Volkskrant<\/a>. He states that rich schools where all parents pay have enough money for trips, while poorer schools do not. \u2018Where the law proposal aimed to reduce inequality, it might be the other way around. Schools with students from rich parents organize nice trips, and schools with students from poor parents do not.\u2019<\/p>\n

Equal Opportunities<\/h3>\n

The idea was that making the voluntary parent contribution really voluntary would increase equal opportunities. Because whether parents could pay or not, the student could join anyway.<\/p>\n

Director Lobke Vlaming of Ouders & Onderwijs describes the starting point. \u2018The only thing that changed with the law is that schools may no longer force parents to pay a voluntary contribution by threatening to exclude their children. I strongly object to schools excluding children, for any reason.\u2019 The problem is clear to her. \u2018In the Netherlands, 300,000 children grow up in poverty. Many parents prefer to eat dry bread rather than have their child excluded. This often happens outside the view of education. Also, before the law, children of poor parents regularly stayed behind in empty rooms while the rest of the class went to camp. Many schools may have found a nice solution, but this does not apply to all schools.\u2019<\/p>\n

Public Funding<\/h3>\n

But how can you prevent activities from no longer being possible at some schools? \u2018If we really think it is important for these children to have these experiences, then the only way seems to be to fund it publicly. Especially for primary schools this should be possible because the amounts are smaller.\u2019 Vlaming also sees possible negative effects with this solution. \u2018Abolishing the parent contribution will mean many schools, especially in secondary education, will lose a lot of money. And experience shows these schools are very creative raising money in other ways, such as funds, foundations, or sponsorship. You won\u2019t easily fix it completely.\u2019<\/p>\n

Side Effects<\/h3>\n

\u2018For now, it remains a tough discussion without easy answers. Everything you do has side effects. But that does not mean that schools forbidding the exclusion of children for any reason from their activities is illogical.\u2019 Still, Vlaming is glad about the discussion. \u2018Maybe the talk will open new ways to really do something about the inequality of opportunities in education.\u2019<\/p>\n
