Educational system

Basisonderwijs (primary education) can start at the age of 4 (groep 1) and is mandatory from 5 years old.

The curriculum is broad, divided over 8 groepen (years), and progress is monitored by toetsen (standardised testing). In the final year of primary school (groep 8), the most appropriate type of secondary school is selected. All pupils in the last year of primary school must complete a primary school leavers attainment test (doorstroomtoets). The test measures pupils’ skills in language, arithmetic and mathematics.

The school week is normally from around 08:30 to around 15:15 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday; and from 08:30-12:00 on Wednesdays. Children in groep 1 and groep 2 often have a half or even a whole day off on Fridays.
