Voorstel van wet van de leden Kwint en Van Meenen tot wijziging van de Wet op het primair onderwijs ter bevordering van kleinere klassen in het basisonderwijs

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a private member's bill introduced in the Dutch House of Representatives by MPs Kwint and Van Meenen. It proposes amending the Primary Education Act (Wet op het primair onderwijs) to encourage smaller class sizes in Dutch primary schools. The aim is to give teachers more room to focus on individual pupils, which proponents see as a way to improve learning outcomes. If adopted, the change would primarily affect primary schools, their pupils, teachers and school boards, as well as the national government and municipalities that fund and organise education. The exact obligations depend on the final text, which is not reflected in this metadata summary.
