Five secondary schools close their doors because education is poor. This affects five of the eight branches of the national educational institution Schools for Personal Secondary Education (PVO), which focuses on small-scale education. The inspectorate had previously determined that there had been financial mismanagement at the institution.
Two schools are forced to close their doors by the inspectorate. This concerns the branches in Utrecht and Kapelle. Schools in Amsterdam and Hoorn also have below-average results, but have decided to stop from 1 August.
The Hengelo school will also close because it is expected to attract too few students. Three other branches of the school will remain open.
The inspectorate is concerned about the pedagogical climate in the Utrecht school, writes RTV Utrecht.
Students at the Kapelle school told Omroep Zeeland they were disappointed by the closure. “This school is my home, we are not just a number here. My teachers know me inside and out. I know my classmates. This is something that is very difficult to find in other schools,” said one student from pre-university education.
Suitable solution for students and staff
Outgoing Minister for Secondary Education Paul says there have been close contacts with the PVO board and the municipalities involved.
We are looking for an appropriate solution for students and staff. “What the solution looks like might differ from school to school, which is why customization is needed,” says Paul.
