This is us

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. The councils are thus authoritative advocates for these interests. 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 providing a quality education for every child. 

The PO-Raad embraces variety and diversity, both within the sector and among our own employees.
