competence requirements
At the request of the Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science the competences with their requirements were developed by a large representation of the professional group of teachers. SBL, the Association for the Professional Quality of Teachers, as a representative of the Dutch teachers' unions and of the professional associations, supervised and gave advice to this professional group of teachers during the process.
The competence requirements for teachers are now decided on and accepted by the government. They will be operational from august 2006.The competence requirements for assisting staff members and primary school managers will follow at a later stage.
An English translation of the competence requirements for teachers can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
There are three versions: (1) for teachers in primary education, (2) for teachers in secondary and vocational education and (3) for teachers in the last 2 classes of higher general secondary education (havo) and the last 3 classes of pre-university education (vwo). The differences between the three versions are only marginal. In fact, all Dutch teachers are required to have the same basic competences.
