The overview -or the menu as the Ministry of Education calls it- is intended for primary schools, secondary schools, practical training and schools for special education. As of today, teams of these schools can choose which measures from the overview they will use at their school.
Choice
This is part of the National Education Program (NP Education) for which a total of a maximum of 8,5 billion euros is available for all education sectors. Schools must first analyze how the students are doing ('the scan') and then choose the list of the ministry appropriate measures to eliminate backlogs. Schools may only opt for one of the measures published by OCW. The ministry has not only published interventions to eliminate learning disadvantages, but also measures to ensure that students feel better about themselves.
Outgoing Education Minister Arie Slob calls the list of interventions 'not a magic potion', but an important resource for teachers, school leaders and support staff. 'They are crucial for the National Education Program to be successful. I am pleased that with this menu we can provide very practical support to schools, so that students have every opportunity for a full future. '

Mr. consent crucial
The measures should not be imposed from above, he says AObchairman Tamar van Gelder. “The mrs have the right of consent in the use of this money. And the teacher teams are crucial. As professionals they have a clear picture of the students and what they need. This will differ per school, so customization is necessary. Teams of teachers can best shape this and therefore also determine how the money is used. " The AOb made for participation councils in the primary education and the secondary education rather two useful tips. They help the mr and teams on their way.
De AOb calls for structural money. 'We simply need more teachers'
Learning benefits and costs
School teams can use this overview to quickly see which measures have been scientifically proven, but also how much learning benefit can be achieved and how expensive it is. For example, the measure one-on-one supervision scores high. There is much and strong evidence that this works, but it is expensive and requires additional staff. earlier wrote The Education Journal already states that the measure that has the most effect is feedback for pupils - for example on mistakes made or on the learning process. It provides 8 months of learning gain.
All measures are based on a toolkit of the English knowledge institute Education Endowment Foundation (EEF). The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has adopted exactly the same scheme with the orange spheres to indicate the learning gain and the euro symbols to indicate the costs.
Structurally
De AOb insists that the ministry must structurally release money to really tackle the problems. Van Gelder: “It is a lot of money, the 8,5 billion euros in the NP Education, but the problem is that it is incidental money. In short: it disappears after two years. Schools cannot hire people from that on a permanent basis and we simply need more teachers."
