KED Talk

Kunskapsskolan Netherlands: battling for equal opportunities and later determination

Kunskapsskolan Education

In an earlier KED Talk episode, we zoomed in on 10 years of remarkable Kunskapsskolan development in India. After that, our KED Talk journey across the world brought us to Saudi Arabia. For the third episode in this series, we travel to The Netherlands. A small country on the map near the North Sea, where over the last eight years a very enthusiastic Kunskapsskolan community has emerged. Listen to how the Dutch have embraced personalized education. How they battle for equal opportunities and later determination. And hear what the impact of the KED program has been on the personal development of both students and staff in a predominantly knowledge driven Dutch educational landscape.

 We discuss this with two colleagues who have been involved from the first day onwards: Kunskapsskolan Netherlands educational director Willemien Noordhof and school administrator, Duco Adema, also chairman of the Dutch Kunskapsskolan Community. Completed, as always, by Christian Wetell, Director of Education at Kunskapsskolan globally and co-host of all KED Talk episodes.
