As of january 1, 2027, Ouders & Onderwijs has a new director-executive: Fonda Sahla. With her appointment, the organization focuses on further strengthening the interest representation of parents, paying attention to the personal and diverse stories of the parents themselves.<\/p>\n
She takes over from Lobke Vlaming, who in the past eight years secured a strong position for Ouders & Onderwijs and worked for a better position for parents.<\/p>\n","inhoud":"
Fonda has extensive experience in municipal and national politics and in advocacy in the fields of education, care, childcare, and equal opportunities. From various roles she has worked for equal chances, parent involvement, and a stronger position of parents. She also knows education from her own experience as a parent and her many years of commitment to school participation council within schools and school communities. She thus brings rich experience from the parent perspective, politics, and substantive themes that are important to parents.<\/p>\n
Marije van den Berg, chair of the supervisory board, is enthusiastic about the arrival of the new director-executive: \u201cWith Fonda, Ouders & Onderwijs takes the next step in strengthening the position of all parents.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fonda is also keen to work for a strong position for parents: \u201cThe voice of parents should not only be heard but also actually weigh in policy and decision-making. Parents know better than anyone what happens in families and what children need. I look forward to working together with the team of Ouders & Onderwijs to further strengthen that voice and ensure that signals from parents are translated into social and political influence.\u201d<\/p>\n
She especially pays attention to parents who do not easily find their way: \u201cI wish to be the voice of all parents, also for those who are not currently heard automatically.\u201d We are happy that together with Fonda we can continue building a social organization with impact for all parents.<\/p>\n
Ouders & Onderwijs is there for all parents with children of school age. We help parents with information on our website and tailored advice about everything related to education. In addition, we represent parents towards politics, the education sector, and the media. Through our Landelijk Ouderpanel, with more than 9,500 affiliated parents, we know well what is happening and alive among parents.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"call_to_action","selecteer_call_to_action":"gerelateerde_onderwerpen_lijst","berichten_met_prioriteit":[{"ID":21497,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2020-02-18 12:28:47","post_date_gmt":"2020-02-18 11:28:47","post_content":"","post_title":"Organization","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"organization","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-10 12:13:00","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-10 10:13:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/oudersenonderwijs.nl\/organization\/","menu_order":10,"post_type":"page","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":22001,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2020-02-18 12:28:08","post_date_gmt":"2020-02-18 11:28:08","post_content":"","post_title":"Contact","post_excerpt":"Heb je vragen?
