Many new vocational education students currently need extra support in language and math. That is why the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science has allocated €47.2 million for the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 academic years, so that vocational education institutions can invest in extra guidance, for example by hiring additional teaching staff. The aim is to prevent study delays and dropouts among students as much as possible.

The Dutch curriculum has recently been updated, as the core objectives used in education until then dated back to 2006. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) commissioned the Curriculum Development Foundation (SLO) to update the curriculum in collaboration with the education sector. This process led to the development of new core objectives for primary and secondary education, which were presented in April 2025.
