@Murcatto-hu1ym Now that is a "fun fact" I like. Unfortunately there are still non-stranger cases. But I'm assuming those cases go a little different, like less snatching the kids from the streets but rather like one parent picking up the kids for a weekend or something after a divorce and then leave the country with them. But still, nice to know.
And as a parent you learn your child not to talk to strange adults , not to take candy from strangers, not to walk with a stranger, stay away from strangers in cars because they might kidnap. And you learn your child when they feel not safe that they run back home. Also learn your child not to stay alone when friends go home. You learn them to go home when their friends go home. You learn your child to be less vulnerable to pdfiles. And you teach your child about SA. That no adult is allowed to touch your body and that you should always tell your parents, teacher, people you trust what happened. And that the police is always there to help you too.
as someone old enough for their parents to reveal their parenting secrets: they very much are watching you, just from a distance, at least at the start. The first couple times you get to go to school "on your own" your parents almost certainly are tracking behind you a couple hundred meters or so. Similarly, if you go to a playground, the people with houses facing the playground are definitely keeping an eye out in the playground and keeping the relevant parents informed should something go wrong.
Basic school is often located in the neighbourhood. So you can walk to school. The 30 minute cycling she talks about, if you need to cycle for 30 minutes? Then you are living in a rural area. Most of the time it's a 5 to 10 min walk. And yes, those neighbourhoods are safe enough to walk. I was 4 and a half when i walked to school alone for the first time. I didnt need to cross streets it was quite safe. I was told when i already was an adult That mom had aranged that parents of classmates kept an eye on me. So she let me believe that i was the big girl that i thought i was, i still was watched and safe. Mom was heavelly pregnant with twins, weeks before they were born, and dad was working. This is the Netherlands, we are not the only country. In Japan children also walk to school by themselves at a young age.
@BregjePostema middelbare school of basisschool? Mijn dochter zou er ook een halfuur met de fiets over doen naar school. Ze is 7 dus gaat nog niet zelfstandig naar school. Maar voor haar geen basisschool op loopafstand want ze zit op een Neo school.
I went to both, my 1st school was a 2 minite walk, the 2nd was a 15-20 minute bike ride, rural and foresty area. When I went to the rural school at 10, I mostly rode with a group and I got a old nokia phone for when I needed an adult or if something happened.
Our sons did MBO, 1 day school and 4 days working for a company. The company paid for the school, and they had all ready a nice salary from when they where 16. One son is a welder for building ships, one is an electrician for buildings and houses and one son does megatronica for ships, machinery or robots. At the 4 days working they learn more than at school.
Yes very useful, when you know what field you want to work in. Otherwise go to school and do different internships to see what interests you and what that particular workfield is about. I have one son who really enjoys work and school, the other boys did school and internships to see what they wanted to do. Depends on the child.
Good stuff! I have an MSc in chemistry, but I value the work of my technician colleagues so much. They are real wizards when it comes to making specialized equipment for many of the machines I have used, and I am sometimes a bit jealous that they are certified to work with heavy machinery 😅
@ZaynahZihoa Uh no, what ali-rikabrands8637 is talking about is the BBL way to do it, not the BOL-system, where one is NOT hired by a company that also pays your tuition, but you are 'just' an intern to learn about your profession and develop skills to become a professional while you also spend a few days per week in school, whereas a BBL'er is actually hired by a company who pays the costs for tuition and you work (usually) 4 days per week, while spending 1 day in school. But for the record: I'm glad she dares to just say that out loud. MBO-education has been the 'sad' part of education for no reason for too long. One can actually make a very decent salary with 'just' an MBO-education these days.
MBO doesn't mean shit, they know nothing. It's just a scam for employers to have cheap labour and have the taxpayers pay a part of it. After that MBO they won't move up anymore and will be treated like 2nd rate blue collar expendable workmen. Well, until the next cheap "student" arrives.
@TomrisCanFor those of us who work in education in Holland, we know that there are plenty of parents trying to tell teachers what to teach and how to teach.😢
@freedom-p4p ik heb medelijden met docenten en leraren die vastzitten in een onderwijssysteem waar veel leerlingen en leraren erin verzuipen. Jullie kunnen ook een verschil maken door een jaar lang in staking te gaan ofso. Hoe langer hoe beter en nee ik maak geen grap.
3:04 the two years aren’t only special to learn the traffic rules! We still have other subjects, the traffic is just a subject that gets put into group 6 and 7.
Was going to comment this as well. traffic is a subject, that’s tested with two tests. A bike ride through the neighbourhood and a theoretical test. Not the whole 2 years. 😂
Dat is niet overal zo. Mijn kinderen kregen geen schoolzwemmen. Ik heb alles zelf moeten betalen jaren lang. Ook mijn kleinkinderen krijgen geen schoolzwemmen.
@vlinder0108 Blijkbaar woon jij dan nog in een gemeente die dat biedt, want dat is op nationale basis al een hele tijd afgeschaft, tot grote onvrede van organisaties die daardoor het aantal verdrinkingen toe hebben zien nemen. In mijn gemeente is het al een jaar of 15, of langer, afgeschaft. In English: Apparently you are still living in a council that still offers schoolswimming, as this has been cut for a long time already, to major dismay of organisations that have seen a rise in death by drowning ever since. My council has already cut it out of the loop for some 15 years or so, if not even longer.
BSO actually is not part of the educational system. BSO is a place to drop your children to be taken to school or to pick after school when you don’t have time
@asant3011 veel mensen weten niet dat kinderen ook op de BSO dingen leren. Niet zoals op school maar op een BSO ontwikkelen kinderen zich enorm en leren ze meer dan mensen denken. We zijn zeg maar niet alleen een oppas voor ouders 😊
It's so funny to me that you ask is the Netherlands that safe to drive 1 We don't let children (16) drive here You must be an adult and we really learn everyone how to drive safe 2 You also need a license to ride a moped here and 3 We learn really early to ride safely on a bike And that is why everyone can ride safe here Because we actually can drive In America they get there learning paper thingie for only turning 16 and they know nothing Then they drive a little park there car and pay 10 dollars and get a license So they really CAN'T drive 😂
@tutulag4439it doesn't only have a lot of water. The whole country is below sea level. In my opinion everyone (no matter the location on Earth) should be able to swim
@car9164 Fun story- my dad went diving somewhere not everyone knows how to swim during a holiday trip. For us dutchies, swimming is as natural as walking. The guy who was supposed to lead his group nearly freaked out when everyone was diving and swimming around, thinking they’d drown, only for everyone to surface easily and him just being like ‘you guys can swim???’
I once considered getting my licence in America because it’s so easy there during a holiday two week trip. Then my dad said I’d have to wait till I’m 18 and redo the exam once I got back home anyway. I was really annoyed back then but I am happy we’re such a save country regarding that!
@JustmeArtist83487I had an experience in Morocco when I was 13. Me from the Netherlands knowing how to swim. I dove into a lake and my Moroccan friend from there thought she could do the same ...then I saw her drowning..I started screaming and young men who could swim saved her from the water.
When me and my sister were little ( 52 & 55 now 😂) my mom used to keep us home from school 1 time per year. She would prepare food & drinks for us and the dog and she would drive us around the Netherlands to visit all of the historical, important and beautifull sites. She knew all there is to know about it, and later on we made scrapbooks with analog pictures 😂 if you are a parent i can highly recommend to do this with your children. No matter where you live there is always something to explore togheter. Being curious with your kids will expand their brain capacity to hold more information.
@ankavoskuilen1725 im assuming cuz during the holidays stuff is eithet really crowded or closed. Besides in the holidays things are more expensive. And I feel like it feels more special for a kid to skip one day of school for something like this. Than do it in a vacation of some sort. Besides, its just one day, and theyre still learning, so its not that bad
My daughter was 11 when she went to VMBO-tl After that when she was 16 years old she went to collage and chose what she wanted to do with the rest of her life She chose to become a nurse Now she is going to her final year and after that she can choose to learn more or go to work Actualy she is already working because she works four days and go's to school one day Greetings from the Netherlands ♥️
When kids in the Netherlands are being kidnapped it is mostly a dispute between parents of different ethnic cultures when the father demands a more ethnic traditional upbringing. Not many kids have been kidnapped for ransom over the years.
@wilmavanson-klessens9350 As someone from the Netherlands I confirm what corpj writes. However, kidnapping is mostly due to parentsrights after divorces. In other words...family matters. That is the most common type of dispute as corpj mentions.
@Chy_Udeh Yes it is. If the mom has custody given by the judge, and the father takes his children without consent from the mom, (or the other way around) that is kidnapping. edit: I just found out even if both parents have custody and one of them takes a child across a the country border without the other knowing, its kidnapping.
The guns were revoked because the government was afraid to be violently expelled in the period of the russian revolution. When the second world war started the population could not defend themselves against tyrants... finland and swiss could so they were never attacked.
Also the ID's were introduced by nazi germany and never revoked when the war was over. Back in the day you would only have to identify if you did something criminal
The great thing about the system is how it focuses on getting the best out of students. My brother had ADHD and flunked havo, so he continued VMBO. But then he got his meds right, and his grades improved. After VMBO he could have tried HAVO, but he went to MBO. After that, he did HBO, and then went to university where he got his masters in business. You see? multiple routs, supporting you to get the best education possible, trying to fit the students as best they can.
This maybe sounds embarrassing but I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and i had to retake the theory exam of the cycle exam thing in groep 7 😅 on my basisschool (basic school ) they told me that that never happend before at there school. ( no worry people I don't drive a car 😂 )
11:25 Sometimes an institute will provide different levels of education. Some are specialized to only higher education for example, or others only VMBO. Usually it's in the name too. If a school is called something fancy or has the name of a saint or something ... like Saint Maartens college, it's usually mixed. If it has one specific thing, they will usually name it something like VMBO East. Short answer: It differs per institute and both are possible. Mixed or exclusive.
I am from the Netherlands. I only started HBO when I was 25. I never finished secundary school, which leaves you without a "starters qualification" you need, according to the law, to stop studying before the age of 18. You can obtain this qualification by completing secundary school level HAVO and VWO, or from following up with MBO (the associate's degree equivalent) at levels 2 and up (Level 1 MBO is not concidered a starting qualifiqation). Here's how that looked: 1. I dropped out of mavo 3 (was held back a year and was skipping classes) at 16 years old 2. Mandatory MBO 1 age 17 (1 year) 3. Mandatory MBO 2 age 18 (2 years) 4. Worked for a few years 5. MBO 3/4 (mixed) age 21 (3 years) 6. From age 21+ you can do a test for admission to HBO (uni) 7. started uni at 25. Life takes turns that you sometimes cannot oversee. There are still chances for you here to enroll into school after you've "failed" before.
Another way to look at VWO/HAVO/MAVO is that it's a spectrum between theoretical education and practical education, with each of the terms being somewhere on it. The 'difficulty' is then reflecting mostly the amount of theory that is present in the particular education form.
In the Netherlands it used to be different, because in the 60's till 80's it was ( kleuterschool ) that was group 1 and 2 and then we had class 1 till 6. In the 90's till nowadays it is how she explains it.
Sometimes some secondary schools have different levels within one institution, I went to a school where they only had VMBO/MAVO levels but the school next door also had HAVO and VWO available
Ik had het vlgs in groep 7. Not sure though, want ik miste het altijd omdat de plusklas dan was lol. Ee viel sws niet veel te leren. Alleen het examen ging mis omdat het me lukte helemaal te verdwalen. Ben ik heel goed in😂😁
Our children went to the playground opposite our house by themselves around age 4 (while I watched from the kitchen window), walked 5mins to primary school by themselves around age 6, and started cycling around the village by themselves around age 8
There also is so/vso (speciaal onderwijs/voortgezet speciaal onderwijs) or in english: so=special education. Vso= preparing special education. Which are for kids with autism, AHDH, dyslexia and learning problems in general. (These schools are mostly vmbo schools, one of my teachers told me)
11:08 depends, typically a secondary/high school will offer Mavo, Havo and VWO levels as during a childs tenure each year they have the option to progress to a higher level or be placed in a lower level depending on performance to accommodate the student. Levels lower than Mavo will be be offered by different schools which may or may not be a part of the same overall institution or school group. For instance the secondary school I went to (lets call it the Orange College Institute) had 2 locations. One of them offered the lower levels and the other offered the average/higher levels. Also, after you turn 21, you can at any point try to enter higher education. Like lets say youve done MBO (or only finished Mavo) you can take a 21+ exam. Its will test your knowledge and competence and if you score high enough then you will be able to do an HBO uni course despite not having done Havo at secondary school. You can then show the test results to any college or uni you want and apply to enroll in an HBO course. This is often done by adults who later in life wish to change careers or specialise in something that requires HBO education
There's also technically another type of high school between HBO and VWO that is also prepping you for university (WO) but focuses more on classical languages like greek and latin.
5:11 the netherlands is a very safe country and theres rarely any kidnapping or kids going missing as most dutch people help eachother , i do have a story of my own where me and 2 of my friend almost got kidnapped but luckily a random woman helped us.
the havo is like middle-highschool the person in the video said that hbo is american equivilent to college. in the basischool you also have geography and history
Most high schools do teach a few levels. Like VWO and HAVO, or sometimes also MAVO. But the VMBO-K and practical studies are most times in a seperate school, due to needing specific classrooms for the practical teachings.
Correct these are the ages that most people do that education. But I've been in MBO-3 with people that were almost 30 years old. Mostly because they were better then their classmates in MBO-2 or worse at sometimes even HBO. I'd like to add that either you do a lot of gaming or have English relatives (it was the second for me), but I was the only one in VMBO that could do long English conversations. Even though English is tought in Primary school.
It’s interesting to see how you respond to our education system. For us, it’s very normal for children to play outside in the street and, when the route is safe and they are old enough, to go to and from school independently. On the other hand, we find it hard to imagine children mostly playing indoors. In addition, we believe that the education offered in the Netherlands provides a strong foundation for children’s development. It’s a nice video to watch🤗!
In Belgium its different firt 3years of kindergarten then 6years of basic school and then 6-7 years middle/high school depends on which subject you persue
Im dutch and I thought It was so funny to see the reactions of you guys when you heard we get traffic lessons I don’t know if other schools do this to because at mine the group 8 kids help w the traffic lessons and ypu get bike lessons as well and in group 7we have our exams for bike lessons the funny thing is no one really knows that a lot of kids in basisschool cicle alone from home to school in group 6 funny thing what happened w me in group seven we got overbooked for our cicling exams so we had to do it in group 8 😢
The knowledge of traffic rules that we have as kids very much rivals that of any adult with a drivers licence, certainly these days with the exams being taken. But then again, kids being kids they will be unpredictable and at times, so we as adults still have the responsibility to be vigilant for their possible mistakes. When I was at the basic school in the early 70's we did have the traffic lessons but we not yet have that cycling exam. About ten years later I attempted my first theory exam for the motorcycle licence without learning anything for it. I did fail but still had 56 of 70 question correct (60 correct were needed) because of how good the education 10 years before was. The mistakes I made were mostly traffic rules that were new or did change meanwhile. (residential areas with traffic slowing measures became a thing)
To my knowledge, if you fail to meet the expectations in your grade you can repeat it at the maximum of two. The first year you can repeat the grade you can decide to repeat the year or go one level down straying in the same grade (in worst cases therapists or mentors are given). The second year they will decide whether to move you to another school or try to repeat once again, which you have to go one level down to repeat. If you still are unable to keep up in the second year, you move to another school. This school can be specialised in giving extra care to the students.
Now it sounds like we only learn traffic from group 6, but we still learn more math, spelling, history, geography etc. Most parents will cycle with their kids 'till they feel confident the kids can travel for themselfs. I got to travel alone to my school in group 7 (age +- 9)
Hii me frome the Netherlands here all i just want to say is Netherlands is one of the most saved place in the whole Europe we got good systeem even for me its took me 6 months to learn Dutch and the people are nice. The help you when you new here you need to understand something the will be there ready for at any time
We didnt really cycle alone , usually we would ride with classmates . I use to go to school with the bus and tram and half my class would be on the same public transportation . You just meet up with classmates and ride to school together
We don't really have scholarships in that sense. Depending on which higher education we choose after highschool, we can apply for study financing of some sort. For HBO and WO this has a set amount that everyone gets and that also depends on if you live at home or not. I don't know how high this is right now, but when I went it was just enough to cover college expenses, books, ect and not more. You can get the "default" amount of study financing for 4 years and unless you don't finish a degree in 10 years you don't have to pay it back. (Although they changed those rules a few times in the last years, so I might be wrong.) Apart from that, we can loan more study financing if we need to. This loan is something we need to start paying back 2 years after gratuating collage/university. To apply for the study financing, we need to deliver our highschool diploma and some other forms, like housing arrangments and salary of our parent(s). It is still the case that parents are "expected" to help with college expences, but this is not enforced. So, if you have parents who make more money, you get less study finacing, because it is believed your parents can/should help. And if you have parents who make less money (or really aren't willing/capable to help), you can get more. The idea behind this is to give everyone equal chances based on intelligence and education and remove external reasons why someone cannot get into college/university, like money problems or pressure from other people. For MBO, this is a little different. I think there are working on getting a similar system on study financing set up for that, but I'm not really sure how that works right now. They do get a amount of study financing and I'm not sure how it works if you need more.
as a dutch person my route was primary - 2 years havo, that was to hard so I dropped down to mavo and finished that (4 years of middle and high school0 - mbo-4 degree (4 years) - hbo degree (3 years)

The Netherlands is safe enough for children to walk, cycle and play outside unattended and be independent.
I looked up the stats on this. The number of kids that get abducted by stranger each year in the Netherlands is between 0-1. Most years it's 0.
@Murcatto-hu1ym Now that is a "fun fact" I like. Unfortunately there are still non-stranger cases. But I'm assuming those cases go a little different, like less snatching the kids from the streets but rather like one parent picking up the kids for a weekend or something after a divorce and then leave the country with them. But still, nice to know.
@illyblink1 yeah, there are definitely plenty of parental 'kidnappings' and kids do get molested, but it's seeming always by someone they know.
yeh but some groups... not pointing fingers, let their kids run loose from insane ages like (4 years old).
And as a parent you learn your child not to talk to strange adults , not to take candy from strangers, not to walk with a stranger, stay away from strangers in cars because they might kidnap. And you learn your child when they feel not safe that they run back home.
Also learn your child not to stay alone when friends go home. You learn them to go home when their friends go home. You learn your child to be less vulnerable to pdfiles.
And you teach your child about SA. That no adult is allowed to touch your body and that you should always tell your parents, teacher, people you trust what happened. And that the police is always there to help you too.
Traffic classes are just one part of the group 6 to 8. Its also History, Biology, Gym, ect..
I unfortunately had Gym for all groups (yes also group 1)
@kirbyguy1237 that will keep you busy haha
I didn't even get traffic classes or cycling exams on my school lol
Swimming diplomas
@ElmoPlayss oh, lol. A shame haha
guys i live in the Netherlands and i can tell you we all walk alone with no parents watching and my eduction is just like that!.
we don't walk we CYCLE
as someone old enough for their parents to reveal their parenting secrets: they very much are watching you, just from a distance, at least at the start. The first couple times you get to go to school "on your own" your parents almost certainly are tracking behind you a couple hundred meters or so.

Kids also learn history and geography from group 6 to group 8.
For me it was 5-8 🥹🫴
For me it was just 7-8 lol
5-8 voor mij
Grade*
@KAYLANI.DAALEN in nederland hebben we groepen. deal with it.
Fun fact but at some basisschoolen you actually start learning about traffic in groep 3-5 till 7 and then have a traffic exam
I was so scared doing the exam bc I was scared I’d bike the wrong way and fail

@priscillaf9887mijn baseschool zat 2 min bij ons vandaan middelbare moest 20 min fietsen.
Not true i had to cycle for 30 minutes and i know that lots of people do your talking crap
I went to both, my 1st school was a 2 minite walk, the 2nd was a 15-20 minute bike ride, rural and foresty area. When I went to the rural school at 10, I mostly rode with a group and I got a old nokia phone for when I needed an adult or if something happened.

And in the Netherlands parents can't interfere in what schools teach.
They try, though. There are a lot of helicopter parents in Holland too.
Not true !
@MCongolais wel waar. Dan ben je blind en doof.

@MNQBkx Wacht er was een theorie examen?
@BritishTeaguyIII 😂 te lang geleden? 😉
@BritishTeaguyIII ik kan me ook geen theorie examen herinneren, alleen praktijk
She forgot to mention the swimming lessons and diploma.
ja maar die hebben niks te maken met school
Schoolzwemmen!
Dat is niet overal zo. Mijn kinderen kregen geen schoolzwemmen. Ik heb alles zelf moeten betalen jaren lang. Ook mijn kleinkinderen krijgen geen schoolzwemmen.
@vlinder0108 Blijkbaar woon jij dan nog in een gemeente die dat biedt, want dat is op nationale basis al een hele tijd afgeschaft, tot grote onvrede van organisaties die daardoor het aantal verdrinkingen toe hebben zien nemen. In mijn gemeente is het al een jaar of 15, of langer, afgeschaft.
In English: Apparently you are still living in a council that still offers schoolswimming, as this has been cut for a long time already, to major dismay of organisations that have seen a rise in death by drowning ever since.

@weeardguy 15 jaar? Woon je in Limburg dan?
Someone needs to explain BSO to these people
BSO actually is not part of the educational system. BSO is a place to drop your children to be taken to school or to pick after school when you don’t have time
Its like daycare, but for kids ages 4-12 after school hours
@asant3011 veel mensen weten niet dat kinderen ook op de BSO dingen leren. Niet zoals op school maar op een BSO ontwikkelen kinderen zich enorm en leren ze meer dan mensen denken. We zijn zeg maar niet alleen een oppas voor ouders 😊
Net als de peuterspeelzaal… daar leren kinderen ook heel veel en het stoomt ze klaar voor groep 1.
@cynthiamolenaar770precies. Mensen hebben vaak echt geen idee hoe leerzaam PSZ, BSO en dagopvang is voor een kind
My daughter is 9 and go alone to school and it's safe ,she going with her friends to school
Most kidnapping cases are where the parents had a fight about the kid or something and one of the parents takes the kid so it’s not that common
It's so funny to me that you ask is the Netherlands that safe to drive
1 We don't let children (16) drive here You must be an adult and we really learn everyone how to drive safe 2 You also need a license to ride a moped here and 3 We learn really early to ride safely on a bike
And that is why everyone can ride safe here Because we actually can drive
In America they get there learning paper thingie for only turning 16 and they know nothing Then they drive a little park there car and pay 10 dollars and get a license So they really CAN'T drive 😂
Also they learn how to swim. Because the Netherlands has alot of water.
@tutulag4439it doesn't only have a lot of water. The whole country is below sea level. In my opinion everyone (no matter the location on Earth) should be able to swim

Fun story- my dad went diving somewhere not everyone knows how to swim during a holiday trip. For us dutchies, swimming is as natural as walking. The guy who was supposed to lead his group nearly freaked out when everyone was diving and swimming around, thinking they’d drown, only for everyone to surface easily and him just being like ‘you guys can swim???’
I once considered getting my licence in America because it’s so easy there during a holiday two week trip. Then my dad said I’d have to wait till I’m 18 and redo the exam once I got back home anyway.
I was really annoyed back then but I am happy we’re such a save country regarding that!
@JustmeArtist83487I had an experience in Morocco when I was 13. Me from the Netherlands knowing how to swim. I dove into a lake and my Moroccan friend from there thought she could do the same ...then I saw her drowning..I started screaming and young men who could swim saved her from the water.
When me and my sister were little ( 52 & 55 now 😂) my mom used to keep us home from school 1 time per year. She would prepare food & drinks for us and the dog and she would drive us around the Netherlands to visit all of the historical, important and beautifull sites. She knew all there is to know about it, and later on we made scrapbooks with analog pictures 😂 if you are a parent i can highly recommend to do this with your children. No matter where you live there is always something to explore togheter. Being curious with your kids will expand their brain capacity to hold more information.
Why didn't she do this during the holidays?
I do this with my 4 kids, only one by one. So day have a full set of hours 1 on 1 attention and they love it!
@ankavoskuilen1725as you can see, she is still alive😂. 1 day didn't ruin her life.
@ankavoskuilen1725 im assuming cuz during the holidays stuff is eithet really crowded or closed. Besides in the holidays things are more expensive. And I feel like it feels more special for a kid to skip one day of school for something like this. Than do it in a vacation of some sort. Besides, its just one day, and theyre still learning, so its not that bad
That’s such a great idea! I’ll remember this 😊
My daughter was 11 when she went to VMBO-tl After that when she was 16 years old she went to collage and chose what she wanted to do with the rest of her life She chose to become a nurse Now she is going to her final year and after that she can choose to learn more or go to work
Actualy she is already working because she works four days and go's to school one day
Greetings from the Netherlands ♥️
When kids in the Netherlands are being kidnapped it is mostly a dispute between parents of different ethnic cultures when the father demands a more ethnic traditional upbringing. Not many kids have been kidnapped for ransom over the years.
Are you from the netherlands
@wilmavanson-klessens9350 As someone from the Netherlands I confirm what corpj writes.
However, kidnapping is mostly due to parentsrights after divorces. In other words...family matters. That is the most common type of dispute as corpj mentions.
@reiniernn9071
That's not kidnapping, though.
This is correct. Your child belongs to the state and not to you.
@Chy_Udeh Yes it is. If the mom has custody given by the judge, and the father takes his children without consent from the mom, (or the other way around) that is kidnapping.
edit: I just found out even if both parents have custody and one of them takes a child across a the country border without the other knowing, its kidnapping.
4:39 yesss we don't have guns we do have proper bike lanes so yeah we're a safe enough country to bike to school
proper 2 meter an highway of 3 meters
The guns were revoked because the government was afraid to be violently expelled in the period of the russian revolution. When the second world war started the population could not defend themselves against tyrants... finland and swiss could so they were never attacked.
Also the ID's were introduced by nazi germany and never revoked when the war was over. Back in the day you would only have to identify if you did something criminal
Yes Netherlands is safe to bike to school
Dankjewel
Ha ha if me and my family would have been kidnapped my mum would have told them to keep the kids good luck with the little shits 😂😂😂
They will bring them back in a our 😂😂
The great thing about the system is how it focuses on getting the best out of students.
My brother had ADHD and flunked havo, so he continued VMBO. But then he got his meds right, and his grades improved. After VMBO he could have tried HAVO, but he went to MBO. After that, he did HBO, and then went to university where he got his masters in business. You see? multiple routs, supporting you to get the best education possible, trying to fit the students as best they can.
This maybe sounds embarrassing but I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and i had to retake the theory exam of the cycle exam thing in groep 7 😅
on my basisschool (basic school ) they told me that that never happend before at there school.
( no worry people I don't drive a car 😂 )
Och toen ik jong was waren er 4 mensen in de klas gezakt voor het verkeersexamen. Dus het komt vaker voor.
Ik moest een keertje helpen met een fiets examen van groep 2
Ik moest het ook doen hoor, leren is gewoon kut🤷
Ik ben als volwassene 5 keer gezakt vr rijexamen. Een wonder dat ik een rijbewijs kreeg..gelukkig rijd ik nu goed
Haha don't worry, you can't be good at everything.
She exaplained havo/HBO wrong as when you gratuated you have a bachalores degree. So thats still University level in the USA
Yeah. University is more along the line of a masters degree in the states. HBO is a bachelors degree.
VWO is also split up in two different levels btw. Atheneum and Gymnasium.
My daughter-in-law bikes to the school e every day with my grandchildren from the age of 4years,they are now 8 and 9, at 11 they will go on there own.
not only do we have traffic classes, we also have (had) mandatory swimming classes..
Hi, guys, I'm from The Netherlands.I like watching this
I was cycling alone to school and back since I was in groep 4.
11:25 Sometimes an institute will provide different levels of education. Some are specialized to only higher education for example, or others only VMBO. Usually it's in the name too. If a school is called something fancy or has the name of a saint or something ... like Saint Maartens college, it's usually mixed. If it has one specific thing, they will usually name it something like VMBO East. Short answer: It differs per institute and both are possible. Mixed or exclusive.
I’m now in the 3th year of VWO
I am from the Netherlands. I only started HBO when I was 25.
I never finished secundary school, which leaves you without a "starters qualification" you need, according to the law, to stop studying before the age of 18. You can obtain this qualification by completing secundary school level HAVO and VWO, or from following up with MBO (the associate's degree equivalent) at levels 2 and up (Level 1 MBO is not concidered a starting qualifiqation).
Here's how that looked:
1. I dropped out of mavo 3 (was held back a year and was skipping classes) at 16 years old
2. Mandatory MBO 1 age 17 (1 year)
3. Mandatory MBO 2 age 18 (2 years)
4. Worked for a few years
5. MBO 3/4 (mixed) age 21 (3 years)
6. From age 21+ you can do a test for admission to HBO (uni)
7. started uni at 25.
Life takes turns that you sometimes cannot oversee. There are still chances for you here to enroll into school after you've "failed" before.
Another way to look at VWO/HAVO/MAVO is that it's a spectrum between theoretical education and practical education, with each of the terms being somewhere on it.
The 'difficulty' is then reflecting mostly the amount of theory that is present in the particular education form.
The first one, "peuterspeelzaal" is not from age 0, but from age 2 or 2,5 - 4 years 🥰
In the Netherlands it used to be different, because in the 60's till 80's it was ( kleuterschool ) that was group 1 and 2 and then we had class 1 till 6. In the 90's till nowadays it is how she explains it.
Maar dat klopt met groep 1 t/m 8 nu
@LeonieVermaatniet helemaal. Groep 3 was de eerste klas.
@ankavoskuilen1725 dan klopt wat ik zeg kleuterschool 1en 2
@ankavoskuilen1725 ja maar dat zegt ze ook 1tm 8 is hetzelfde als 2 klas kleuter en 6 lagere school is samen 8
@connectthedots5678 Dankjewel
Sometimes some secondary schools have different levels within one institution, I went to a school where they only had VMBO/MAVO levels but the school next door also had HAVO and VWO available
Verkeerslessen worden al vanaf groep 1 gegeven.
Wat voor rare school zit jij op ?? Lol
Bij mij groep 4
Voor mij groep 5
@Bootleg_iron_man_is_hereman bij mij in 1
Ik had het vlgs in groep 7. Not sure though, want ik miste het altijd omdat de plusklas dan was lol. Ee viel sws niet veel te leren. Alleen het examen ging mis omdat het me lukte helemaal te verdwalen. Ben ik heel goed in😂😁
the netherlands is like most parents cycle with their childeren until there in group 4
Wow ik wist nooit hoe ik het Nederlandse school systeem moest uitleggen😅 dank God dat ik het nu wel kan
Our children went to the playground opposite our house by themselves around age 4 (while I watched from the kitchen window), walked 5mins to primary school by themselves around age 6, and started cycling around the village by themselves around age 8
On the school groups. Group 1 and 2 are kindergarten, 3-8 are group 1-6 in primarie school
It’s safe here and in America people go with cars and motors if they can
I learned traffic rules in group 3
@CobraKaiFNso late!?
In belgium we have the crèche than the kleuterschool than the basisschool and than the middelbaar
I just hit the jackpotttt....
I walked to school alone before I was even 6 years old😂
Yeah that’s right
6:09 there is also gymnasium which is just VWO but you also have Latin and Greek
Which is also what I am doing in my education
There also is so/vso (speciaal onderwijs/voortgezet speciaal onderwijs) or in english: so=special education. Vso= preparing special education. Which are for kids with autism, AHDH, dyslexia and learning problems in general.
(These schools are mostly vmbo schools, one of my teachers told me)
5:24 I have never done this
In the first year of middelbare school you have havo vwo and mavo havo and in year 2 they realy decide i am in havo vwo
11:08 depends, typically a secondary/high school will offer Mavo, Havo and VWO levels as during a childs tenure each year they have the option to progress to a higher level or be placed in a lower level depending on performance to accommodate the student. Levels lower than Mavo will be be offered by different schools which may or may not be a part of the same overall institution or school group. For instance the secondary school I went to (lets call it the Orange College Institute) had 2 locations. One of them offered the lower levels and the other offered the average/higher levels.
Also, after you turn 21, you can at any point try to enter higher education. Like lets say youve done MBO (or only finished Mavo) you can take a 21+ exam. Its will test your knowledge and competence and if you score high enough then you will be able to do an HBO uni course despite not having done Havo at secondary school. You can then show the test results to any college or uni you want and apply to enroll in an HBO course. This is often done by adults who later in life wish to change careers or specialise in something that requires HBO education
It's true I had my first traffic vehicle exam at 7-8 years old and always went to school alone on my bike through the rest of the traffic
I always failed the traffic rules, never got one test right
8:51 1 thing is that when you start with a vmbo bb and graduate you can also go to mbo
There's also technically another type of high school between HBO and VWO that is also prepping you for university (WO) but focuses more on classical languages like greek and latin.
I cycled alone to and from school since group 6
I come from the Nederlands im learning that
I come from om the Netherlands and I learned it in group 3 first
I walked to school alone from 7 or 8 years old
In belgium we do also a littelbit traffic and we must do the fietsexamen bycicle exam
Your man understand it very well
Peuterspeelzaal is for kids from 2yo till they are 4. Then they start elementryschool.
Verkeer (traffic) starts in group 4 (7/8 yo)
just wait till they hear abt gymnasium
Schilarships are rare in the Netherlands, but then again, it's relatively cheap to do academic studies (~ 3000 euros a year).
I live in Netherlands and almost EVERYONE goes to school on their own
There are people that drive like through the red light.
5:11 the netherlands is a very safe country and theres rarely any kidnapping or kids going missing as most dutch people help eachother , i do have a story of my own where me and 2 of my friend almost got kidnapped but luckily a random woman helped us.
Ja soortvan
It is, but it's quickly becoming less safe.
For some reason you can't name on RUclips
@axiezimmahwelke reden?
the havo is like middle-highschool the person in the video said that hbo is american equivilent to college. in the basischool you also have geography and history
I did started at vmbo-b but switched to LWOO in my second year because of my autism diagnose at 15
I learned traffic rules at like groupe 4 and they keep repeating it even in the middelbare school
Most high schools do teach a few levels. Like VWO and HAVO, or sometimes also MAVO. But the VMBO-K and practical studies are most times in a seperate school, due to needing specific classrooms for the practical teachings.
Goedemorgen, de zon schijnt hier al uitbundig.
I walked to school as young as five years old. Like all the other kids in my neighborhood. School was only half a kilometer away though.
Correct these are the ages that most people do that education. But I've been in MBO-3 with people that were almost 30 years old. Mostly because they were better then their classmates in MBO-2 or worse at sometimes even HBO. I'd like to add that either you do a lot of gaming or have English relatives (it was the second for me), but I was the only one in VMBO that could do long English conversations. Even though English is tought in Primary school.
VWO also has two options; Atheneum and Gymnasium. Gymnasium has: Latin and Greek.
We have multiple secondary schools and some schools do some parts and some do it all. but the thing is you can go from vmbo to mbo to hbo to wo.
It’s interesting to see how you respond to our education system. For us, it’s very normal for children to play outside in the street and, when the route is safe and they are old enough, to go to and from school independently.
On the other hand, we find it hard to imagine children mostly playing indoors.
In addition, we believe that the education offered in the Netherlands provides a strong foundation for children’s development.
It’s a nice video to watch🤗!
In Belgium its different firt 3years of kindergarten then 6years of basic school and then 6-7 years middle/high school depends on which subject you persue
In Ghana even government schools teach. U randomly in kindergarten about traffic safety
I'm dutch and I learned traffic in 'group' 4 an 5
I do go to school in the Netherlands but we have 4 levels of Praktijkonderwijs so you can also spend 4 years like mavo
Im dutch and I thought It was so funny to see the reactions of you guys when you heard we get traffic lessons I don’t know if other schools do this to because at mine the group 8 kids help w the traffic lessons and ypu get bike lessons as well and in group 7we have our exams for bike lessons the funny thing is no one really knows that a lot of kids in basisschool cicle alone from home to school in group 6 funny thing what happened w me in group seven we got overbooked for our cicling exams so we had to do it in group 8 😢
The knowledge of traffic rules that we have as kids very much rivals that of any adult with a drivers licence, certainly these days with the exams being taken. But then again, kids being kids they will be unpredictable and at times, so we as adults still have the responsibility to be vigilant for their possible mistakes.
When I was at the basic school in the early 70's we did have the traffic lessons but we not yet have that cycling exam. About ten years later I attempted my first theory exam for the motorcycle licence without learning anything for it. I did fail but still had 56 of 70 question correct (60 correct were needed) because of how good the education 10 years before was. The mistakes I made were mostly traffic rules that were new or did change meanwhile. (residential areas with traffic slowing measures became a thing)
and in where i live the the basic american house looks luxiourious
In belgium there is first the kleuterschool that is groupe 1 and 2 than is the basisscool we have 6 groups we call them leerjaren learnyears
Amazing!
To my knowledge, if you fail to meet the expectations in your grade you can repeat it at the maximum of two. The first year you can repeat the grade you can decide to repeat the year or go one level down straying in the same grade (in worst cases therapists or mentors are given). The second year they will decide whether to move you to another school or try to repeat once again, which you have to go one level down to repeat. If you still are unable to keep up in the second year, you move to another school. This school can be specialised in giving extra care to the students.
Now it sounds like we only learn traffic from group 6, but we still learn more math, spelling, history, geography etc.
Most parents will cycle with their kids 'till they feel confident the kids can travel for themselfs. I got to travel alone to my school in group 7 (age +- 9)
Hii me frome the Netherlands here all i just want to say is Netherlands is one of the most saved place in the whole Europe we got good systeem even for me its took me 6 months to learn Dutch and the people are nice. The help you when you new here you need to understand something the will be there ready for at any time
I am dutch and live in the Netherlands and cycling to school is completely safe! Tons of kids and adults cycle to work/school
11:07 usually there are different schools per level of education you do. mostly you have Vwo-Havo schools, and Hav-Mavo-Vmbo schools
We didnt really cycle alone , usually we would ride with classmates . I use to go to school with the bus and tram and half my class would be on the same public transportation . You just meet up with classmates and ride to school together
Naar de basisschool lopen/fietsen ze wel alleen
We don't really have scholarships in that sense. Depending on which higher education we choose after highschool, we can apply for study financing of some sort. For HBO and WO this has a set amount that everyone gets and that also depends on if you live at home or not. I don't know how high this is right now, but when I went it was just enough to cover college expenses, books, ect and not more. You can get the "default" amount of study financing for 4 years and unless you don't finish a degree in 10 years you don't have to pay it back. (Although they changed those rules a few times in the last years, so I might be wrong.) Apart from that, we can loan more study financing if we need to. This loan is something we need to start paying back 2 years after gratuating collage/university.
To apply for the study financing, we need to deliver our highschool diploma and some other forms, like housing arrangments and salary of our parent(s). It is still the case that parents are "expected" to help with college expences, but this is not enforced. So, if you have parents who make more money, you get less study finacing, because it is believed your parents can/should help. And if you have parents who make less money (or really aren't willing/capable to help), you can get more. The idea behind this is to give everyone equal chances based on intelligence and education and remove external reasons why someone cannot get into college/university, like money problems or pressure from other people.
For MBO, this is a little different. I think there are working on getting a similar system on study financing set up for that, but I'm not really sure how that works right now. They do get a amount of study financing and I'm not sure how it works if you need more.
and from kenya and i live in the netherlands and the school systems are very different
And is really save😊
The nursery is group 1 ,2. And 3 is the first real class 2:30
No, group 1 and 2 is kindergarden. The peuterspeelzaal is the nursery.
@laurawattel-devries5741ja zij noemen dat de nursery.
traffic is so easy and I already had it in group 5
as a dutch person my route was primary - 2 years havo, that was to hard so I dropped down to mavo and finished that (4 years of middle and high school0 - mbo-4 degree (4 years) - hbo degree (3 years)
i do the dutch its pretty easy
