In the lower grades Early Foreign Language Education focuses on speaking and comprehension/listening skills. In the upper grades reading and writing skills are added. The schools shown in the dashboard above are all certified with a ‘vvto quality certificate’ by one of these expert organisations (EarlyBird, TalenT or Cedin).

Biligual Primary Education (tpo)

Tweetalig primair onderwijs (tpo) was a pilot programme – which ran till summer 2023 – in which a number of schools offer English language education from the first year of primary school for 30% to 50% of the class time. The schools implement immersion education, where the focus lies on understanding and communication. In addition, the schools have to meet three main requirements:

  • The Dutch curriculum is leading, the offer covers the core objectives
  • English lessons and activities cover 30% to 50% of the class time
  • Internationalisation activities are a vital part of the education
