When the tests were introduced during the last government, the promise was always that the test scores would be secret as to not encourage “teaching to the test.” To me, at least, it seems like this was always the intention. Next government: public website with all the test scores like in Spain ?

€5 on the next step: teacher’s pay depends on the test result.
Why does NVA keep insisting on importing shit ideas out of the US?
Urgh. As a teacher the slow but steady implementation of standardized testing and making everything depend on those results is scaring the shit out of me. I’m gonna keep going until I can’t any more but it’s demotivating to watch people who aren’t teachers make decisions that will have a massive impact decades from now…
Good thing, although people will inevitable make wrong comparisons/conclusions by not comparing apples to apples. Eg. a school in a city with more people from foreign origin vs a school in a rural town will definitely show differences in level of Dutch, which doesn’t mean that the education at the city school is worse.
What I am particularly interested in, is seeing the difference between comparable schools in terms of demographics but with a different approach to evaluation (exams vs permanent evaluation).
Scholen gaan hierdoor op lange termijn selecteren aan de ingang. Enkel de sterke leerlingen aanvaarden.
When you think Weyts was the worst: *Demir* “hold my beer”.
If I have children, I want them to have the best opportunities in life I can give them. Sending them to a good school seems a reasonable thing to do and if we have some measure of comparing schools in an objective manner, why not?
