Dutch school types: primary and secondary education
Since the Freedom of Education Act, signed by the government in 1917, educators in the Netherlands have been given a lot of freedom to set their own curriculum and even start their own schools. This encourages performance and innovation while still following a set of core objectives laid out by the Dutch government. The Netherlands consequently boasts a broad spectrum of flourishing educational approaches.
Dutch primary and secondary schools are divided into two categories: regular (openbaar) public schools run by the government; and special (bijzondere) schools that are independently operated and based on a specific religion or educational philosophy. All schools, whether regular or special, receive government funding.
