The PO Council and the VO Council
The PO-Raad and the VO-raad are the sector organizations for primary and secondary education. These associations represent the common interests of school organizations in primary education, secondary education, special primary education, and (secondary) special education. Through visits, networking events, and the General Members’ Meeting, our members are involved in shaping the PO-Raad and VO-raad’s positions. The councils are thus authoritative advocates. In addition, both councils drive innovative projects and knowledge sharing in education. Quality is our top priority. After all, it concerns the future of our children and, by extension, the future of the Netherlands. That is why we remain committed to quality education for every child.
