MBO's are not exactly thrilled with the planning minister Jet Bussemaker to require split the teaching large schools into smaller secondary vocational colleges.
"The schools are not involved in its planning and there is therefore no basis for '' says Jan van Zijl, president of the trade association MBO Council.
Impersonal education factories
Bussemaker wants schools with over 5000 students from next year will be smaller. MBO's large, sometimes even more than 20,000 students have can be impersonal teaching factories, according to the minister. Bussemaker wants MBO are recognizable to students, parents, teachers and the regional business community.
According to Van Zijl bases the minister not on facts. "The fact is that research says that education is not related to the size of a building or the size of a foundation. That is not so in MBO, not HBO or indeed in the university." The plans are to be implemented next year, since 2017 is the count in the quality of vocational programs.
Politics responds critically
Also in the House are not greeted with enthusiasm the plans. "Human scale sounds good. But is enforced organizational us better education? Lots of questions!" Twittered VVD MP Anne-Wil Lucas.
D66 is downright negative. According to which party will change nothing for students and schools are only on paper smaller. "The minister lives in a paper reality, the minister makes on paper the schools smaller, but for the students absolutely nothing will change if a ROC and a large leather factory is experienced, then that has two causes:.. The school is too big and there little or no personal attention from teachers to students. The real causes grabs the minister not to. The real solution is to invest in the quality of teachers, officers and directors and in smaller schools, "said D66 MP Paul van Meenen.
CDA Michel Rog says it would have been better if the minister 'bottom-small scale, choice and individual identity had encouraged schools. The SP is not satisfied.
