Dataset is not available.
This table contains information about pupils and students who participate in primary, secondary general and secondary vocational education 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 pupils are given by region (Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba), by age and gender in primary education and by level (as of the 2014/’15 school year) and gender in secondary general education. As of school year 2019/’20 the students of the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) are added; this vocationally oriented education was introduced as of that study year on St Eustatius and Saba. On account of the introduction of the CVQ-system, there are no longer MBO students as of study year 2021/’22 on St Eustatius and Saba.
As of 10 October 2010, the islands of Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba have 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: the 2009/'10 school year and study year.
Status of the figures:
Figures over school year and study year 2022/’23 are revised provisional and figures over school year and study year 2023/’24 are provisional. All other figures are final.
Changes as of 15 March 2024:
The final figures over school and study year 2021/'22, revised provisional figures over school and study year 2022/'23 and the provisional figures over school and 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 2025, the revised provisional figures over school year and study year 2023/'24 and the provisional figures over school year and study year 2024/'25 will come available.
The figures over school year and study year 2022/'23 will become final.
