'Put shortage on one in the lower house teachers' debate'
De AOb asks the House of Representatives in the teachers' debate on Wednesday afternoon to pay particular attention to the shortages and the plans for a new powers system. For example, still nothing has happened with the motion to have the teacher shortage in primary and secondary education registered by the Inspectorate.

For four hours on Wednesday afternoon, the House of Representatives will discuss the ministers' teacher policy, from shortages to PhD grants. According to the AOb it should mainly concern the teacher shortage and the hasty plans to rebuild the system of powers in primary, secondary and secondary vocational education.
That the union wrote in a brief to the members of parliament. AObchairman Liesbeth Verheggen is present at the debate. The union calls on interested members to also come to the public gallery (14.00 p.m. to 18.00 p.m.) or to take the debate through the live stream to follow.
The shortages threaten quality and increase inequality
“We are surprised that so little work is being done on registering the shortages and the effects by the inspectorate,” says Liesbeth Verheggen. In June there was one with the support of government party D66 motion of the opposition. “The House of Representatives had a clear message. But the ministry is not in a hurry with implementation, while the inspectorate itself warned in the spring that the shortages threaten quality and increase inequality. ”
Too fast
De AOb is of the opinion that the House should give further thought to the Minister's plans to thoroughly review the powersystem. That should be ready by the end of 2020. “Starting pilots next school year seems way too soon to us,” says Verheggen.
