Worldwide Learning
Thousands of Dutch children spend part of their childhood abroad. When they return to the Netherlands, they (re-)enter the Dutch education system at anywhere from primary school to university level. The Foundation for Dutch Education Worldwide (Stichting Nederlands Onderwijs in het Buitenland, or NOB) is a non-prot organisation that has been facilitating their smooth transition into the Dutch education system since 1980. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has commissioned NOB to promote and support high standards of Dutch education for Dutch-speaking children around the world.
Worldwide support
In addition to international or local education, 13,500 pupils all over the world are pursuing Dutch education abroad. Many attend Dutch schools (full Dutch curriculum or Dutch language and culture lessons), others go to European schools or stay con nected through distance learning.
Global connections
NOB enables Dutch education facilities worldwide to get in touch with each other as well as with other educational organisations. We also promote and safeguard the interests of overseas Dutch education within the Netherlands itself.
NOB believes in and advocates lifelong learning. For children and young people, teachers and school administrators, wherever life takes them.
