'Appropriate education just doesn't want to fit'
A majority of the House of Representatives demands that appropriate education improves quickly. It is according to AObchair Liesbeth Verheggen a discussion that returns time and again, but for which there is still no structural solution. "Hopefully this time the interest will not be a temporary revival, but we will really tackle this problem."

The NOS reported last Sunday that a majority in the House of Representatives believes that appropriate education now really needs to be improved. Four thousand home sitters, desperate parents who don't know where to go with their child. A lot is still going wrong.
Appropriate education should better meet the wishes of parents and teachers, de AOb. Verheggen hopes that the problem will be tackled structurally. “Since 2013, we have been drawing attention to the difficulties in appropriate education. For example, for the large regional differences about where things are and are not going well, the lack of explanations for this. The lack of clarity about what does or does not fall under extra support,” says Verheggen.

According to the news report from the NOS, the vast majority of the House of Representatives now finally want the Ministry of Education to come up with solutions quickly. If possible, before the summer.
To continue
Verheggen: “That is of course good news, but let's really get on with each other. The problems in appropriate education are not of today or yesterday, the political attention is not new. But the problems remain. Don't let this be just another cry without something happening. The solutions are known. Make sure that teachers are well prepared for their duties so that they can provide good basic support for less complicated matters. Make sure you know why it works in one region and not in another. And above all: make sure that the workload for the teachers does not become excessive, so that the child can get the attention it deserves. "
De AOb will soon be conducting a survey among members to see how the field thinks about the bottlenecks in appropriate education.
