Minister Lodewijk Asscher of Social Affairs will appoint someone who will talk to special primary schools about the problems they experience with substitute workers as a result of the Work and Security Act.
A majority of the House voted for this last Tuesday a motion submitted by the ChristenUnie. PvdA, D66, VVD and CDA supported the motion. In the Chamber Asscher said that he is not deaf to all the problems that schools experience with the Work and Security Act, but that he certainly does not intend to amend the law.
Classes home
Since its introduction in 2015, special primary schools, to which the law applies, have had great difficulty finding replacements. Especially in case of illness. The new law prescribes that replacements must receive a permanent contract much faster, after three times. In the collective labor agreement for primary education this has already been stretched to six times, but there are still schools that say they should send classes home.
“I also see that not all schools are ready to have the invasion policy in order,” Asscher said in the Chamber. He appoints someone who will look for solutions and show schools the possibilities of the law when it comes to replacement. At the beginning of next year, Asscher hopes to send the first results to the House.
