Description topics

Education
Primary education
Primary education only includes primary schools as known to the Education Executive Agency (DUO). Special primary education and special schools are not included.

A new method has been used for the figures on education with effect from the reporting year 2018: in the current method, files from the Education Executive Agency (DUO) are used for schools in regular primary education. As a result, the figures from 2018 may differ slightly from previous years.

The figures are for January of the relevant school year.
Distance to school
The average distance of all residents in an area to the nearest school, calculated by road.
Secondary education
Schools where students can follow government-funded full-time secondary education. Practical schools and special schools are not included.
Since secondary schools can be VMBO (preparatory secondary vocational education), HAVO (senior general secondary school)/VWO (pre-university education) and VMBO / HAVO / VWO schools, the figures for VMBO and HAVO/VWO do not add up to the total figures for Secondary Education.

The figures are for January of the relevant school year.

A new method has been used for the figures on education with effect from the 2018 reporting year: in the current method, files from the Education Executive Agency (DUO) are used to determine the type of school in secondary education. As a result, the figures from 2018 may differ slightly from previous years.
