Education Council calls for international high education

More secondary education students should be able to choose an international curriculum. The Education Council is therefore calling for complete, international curricula within the regular education system. This was one of the conclusions of a recently published advisory report entitled Learning Pathways and the International Baccalaureate (‘Internationale Leerwegen en het Internationale Baccalaureaat’). The Education Council also found that internationalization is still at an early stage of development. It is therefore important that international variants are developed. The Council set out four possible learning pathways, varying from highly internationalized to a regular curriculum with an international dimension. The idea is to have international variants of subjects on offer, an international profile in the second phase of advanced secondary education (havo, vwo), an international learning pathway in vocational secondary education (vmbo), and international variants of Dutch diplomas.
