The PIRLS and PISA results that were published in 2023 severely shook things up in the Netherlands and reinforced the need for sustainable educational policy improvements. In this chapter, we show examples of how educational interventions are accompanied by structural monitoring based on national assessment data on school performance for mathematics and reading comprehension for pupils in primary schools in the Netherlands. From the analyses it becomes clear that both the national data as well as the international comparisons done by PIRLS and PISA show worrisome downwards trends in pupils’ performance. The international comparisons show a larger decrease than the national data, for which there are many possible reasons, such as different age groups and types of tests. However, the overall picture from all sources shows that there is still a lot of progress to be made in the Netherlands.

摘要

The PIRLS and PISA results that were published in 2023 severely shook things up in the Netherlands and reinforced the need for sustainable educational policy improvements. In this chapter, we show examples of how educational interventions are accompanied by structural monitoring based on national assessment data on school performance for mathematics and reading comprehension for pupils in primary schools in the Netherlands. From the analyses it becomes clear that both the national data as well as the international comparisons done by PIRLS and PISA show worrisome downwards trends in pupils’ performance. The international comparisons show a larger decrease than the national data, for which there are many possible reasons, such as different age groups and types of tests. However, the overall picture from all sources shows that there is still a lot of progress to be made in the Netherlands.
