Minister Bussemaker (Education) has announced to address the accountability pressures in higher education. The current emphasis on accountability is the situation where “the more important process of improvement is under pressure.”
This morning the minister wrote in a letter to parliament. According Bussemakerhuis be educational too preoccupied with reporting to supervisory agencies:
“When I walked institutions with stakeholders, such as teachers, speak, I am often highlighted the role of NVAO, the Education Inspectorate, the Commission Efficiency Higher Education (CDHO) and the Review Committee on Higher Education (RCHO). Settings indicate that they be questioned often double from various organizations, or that it is unclear why they have to give account on the same subjects in different organizations. “
Bussemakerhuis want these bodies as one organization go to work to avoid duplication. The measures must lead to a halving of the paperwork that is involved in the training inspections.
In addition, teachers and students gain more influence in the evaluations. For example, students may draw their own chapter later in the program evaluation.
The period accreditations going to change funds. At this time it is true that as a training approved by the NVAO, the accreditation after six years automatically lapse. If it is going to Bussemakerhuis which approval will soon apply indefinitely. After six years will be examined whether there are grounds to withdraw the accreditation.
