Sectoral Council GO and PO-Raad: making way for a new law that funds care at education time

The GO Sector Council and the PO Council request the House of Representatives to give room for the sector to organize co-operation in the spirit of the new education care funding legislation. On May 31, the Council will discuss the details of the Government’s decision to achieve better funding for during school hours care for children with complex problems in specialist schools in Groups 3 and 4.

In a letter to the House of Representatives, the councils expressed their satisfaction with the decision of the Council of Ministers and its proposed participation in the research report. Crowdfunding at the time of education. With the proposed legislation, care and education are better coordinated and we reduce the administrative burden, so that more time can be spent on students. And not with extra money, but by organizing it better and more efficiently.

Prior to the parliamentary debate and the continuation of the legislative process, the GO Sector Council and the PO Council will issue two recommendations:

1. Choose the general scenario

   As far as we are concerned, the broad scenario is the only one that really does justice to the agreement in the coalition agreement because this scenario covers the entire area in which care is currently organized in schools. Choosing one of the other scenarios will still lead to a lot of arbitrariness and dependence on temporary and complex constructions, while the broad structure brings order.

2. Give education maximum space until the new law

   Access to new legal frameworks takes time. Therefore, we demand the maximum extent of the interval to organize cooperation in the spirit of the new legal frameworks in the region. In this way, more students and staff can actually benefit from the new law.
