The Hassan family wants a primary school where the lessons fit their religion. Is that possible in the Netherlands?
In the exam (Dutch)
Familie Hassan wil een basisschool waar de lessen passen bij hun geloof. Kan dat in Nederland?
- aNo, religion may play no role at Dutch schools.Nee, op Nederlandse scholen mag geloof geen rol spelen.
- bYes, there are denominational schools that teach from a religious basis.Ja, er zijn bijzondere scholen die lesgeven vanuit een geloof.Correct answer
- cOnly if the children are taught at home.Alleen als de kinderen thuis les krijgen.
Why?
Because of freedom of education (vrijheid van onderwijs), there may be schools based on a religion or a philosophy of life. These are denominational schools (bijzondere scholen). Public schools (openbare scholen) do not have a religion as their basis.
Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Dutch, as shown above.
