He had already secretly counting down some. Passed his VMBO examination he was anyway, but would figures be good enough to succeed with honors?

The redemptive response to the 16-year-old Ruud van Mierlo came Thursday from the Secretary of State education, himself. “I was first called by my teacher that I was successful.

Cum laude! That was the message of the high visit. It is the first time that students complete high school with honors this year. These students have achieved an average of eight or higher and have no failing grades on their final list.

Ruud graduated with three nines and five eights. Which subjects are the nines, which is yet another questionable point for Ruud. “I have to pick up my grades. I suspect that I have a nine German and Physics. And so another profession, but I have no idea. “

A lot of effort it took Ruud not to succeed with honors. “I just learned on average. Not super lot, not super small. You just need to have some luck with the questions. And that I had. “
