The opposition in parliament has failed to stop the mandatory achievement tests in education or modify . Despite fierce resistance and deep disapproval, said Minister and State Secretary Jet Bussemaker Sander Dekker (Education) to have full confidence in the key and its effects.

They get them the support of coalition parties PvdA and VVD and the PVV, a majority in the House. Students at vocational and secondary education must take the test from next year to get a degree.

Two critical Chamber debated today on the controversial key. Everyone agreed that students should be able to count better, but the way that has caused deep divisions.

The proponents suggest that schools are encouraged by the mandatory key to improving mathematics education. Many schools have since been made in recent years considerable work, but the schools that did not receive the stuffy according to them. Dekker thinks the resistance mainly comes from that angle.

Jacking
years ago complained and the business already that the computational level of students and young people was low. Secondary and secondary education was 500 million euros to boost the computing education. Moreover, the mathematics test was devised where the whole room a few years ago – after the SGP -. Was agree

But the execution is wrong, says the opposition. The obligation is not good and the key itself either. They want first teaching arithmetic in order. Students are in their eyes soon suffer because they get a diploma if they fail the achievement tests.

Critical
The opposition also notes the criticism from education. ,, Nobody there wants this key, it is unacceptable, out of proportion. A black day. Very sad that the Labour Party agrees, ” D66 MP Paul van Meenen expressed displeasure.

In particular, the Labour Party was attacked. Only Tuesday showed parliamentarian Tanja Jadnanansing know that her group also wants to continue the test. She pointed to the many improvements of the key. Thus, students may retake three times and succeed they first get even with a 4.5. In the years after the requirements are screwed.
