Dataset is not available.


This table contains information about students who participate in secondary vocational education, MBO (‘middelbaar beroepsonderwijs’) in particular, on the islands of the Caribbean Netherlands. Only education that is funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science is included in the tables. The numbers of students are given by region (Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba), by level (MBO-1, MBO-2, MBO-3, MBO-4) and by fields of education (‘sector’ and ‘domain’). Students in Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ), a Caribbean education system that was introduced in study year 2019/’20 on St Eustatius and Saba, are not included in the figures. On account of the introduction of the CVQ-system, there are no longer MBO students from study year 2021/’22 on St Eustatius and Saba.
As of 10 October 2010, the islands of Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba have held the status of ‘special municipalities’ of the Netherlands. The education in the Caribbean Netherlands forms part of the Dutch national education system. The Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science is responsible for education policies.

Data available from: study year 2009/'10.

Status of the figures:
Figures over study year 2022/’23 are revised provisional and figures over study year 2023/’24 are provisional. All other figures are final.

Changes as of 15 March 2024:
The final figures over study year 2021/'22, revised provisional figures over study year 2022/'23 and the provisional figures over study year 2023/'24 have been added.

Mbo participants are now referred to as mbo students. This has been corrected in this table. In 2018, it was decided to refer to mbo participants as mbo students from then on.

When will new figures be published?
In the first quarter of 2024, the revised provisional figures over study year 2022/'23 and the provisional figures over study year 2023/'24 will come available. The figures over study year 2021/'22 will become final.

Description topics

MBOstudents
Until the 2019/’20 study year government funded secondary vocational education on the islands of the Caribbean Netherlands consisted entirely of ‘middelbaar beroepsonderwijs (mbo)’, similar to the European part of the Netherlands. The courses offered at this level were limited in scale (St Eustatius and Saba in particular). As of 2012/’13, St Eustatius and Saba only offer the assistant/entrance training (level 1) and level 2 of MBO. Bonaire already had publicly funded mbo at all four levels.
