Gov't boosts education spending by €216 million; Won’t solve everything, educators say

NL Times  

Schools can again submit grant applications to improve their students’ basic skills. Education Minister Dennis Wiersma will distribute 332 million euros for each of the next two school years. They will receive 500 euros per pupil to improve basic skills, which can include extra lessons for smaller groups of children, and by providing more training for teachers. Wiersma said he expects the subsidy to to help approximately 2,200 primary and secondary schools and their 650,000 students over the next two school years. If you want to invest in basic skills, you should not go from subsidy to subsidy.” The organization for secondary schools, the VO-raad, also wants enough money to go to schools on a structural basis to improve basic skills, “instead of incidental funding for part of the schools.” The PO Raad said it was pleased that schools do not have to draw lots, and that the schools will be evaluated based on their plan.
