Today is the teacher of the day. And teachers justifiably complain about the heavy workload, says the president of the Secondary Education Council Paul Rosenmöller. The number of hours that they stand for the class can best he finds down.
"Students also learn as they work independently or during an internship at a company. Education is not just a local children and a teacher before," Rosenmöller says in Trouw.
Sacred cows
"Ask yourself how effective an extra class quality over quantity, we must dare to challenge sacred cows:.. The grid, the number of teaching hours, the dominant direction from above"
He advocates that teachers hand in teaching hours in the classroom and in return receive appropriate space to develop their own lessons and expand knowledge.
Risk taking
Schools thus also do not have to wait for the final advice for educational reform. Changes must come from the field itself and not imposed from above, he says.
"It may take quite a bit more risk and to think in terms of opportunities. The traditional structure has yielded good education. But if you want to make disciples of the talents more centrally, you need more flexibility."
