Dialogic supports the Platform Bèta Techniek in the development and implementation of the Bèta Excellent program. Bèta Excellent is the successor to the Universum program and aims to encourage excellent and gifted students in secondary education. In addition to focusing on very good and truly smart pre-university students, Bèta Excellent also aims to promote excellence in havo, vmbo, and practical education – this includes not only cognitive excellence but also excellence in other areas such as sports, music, and culture.
The program targets around 100 'leading schools' and about 150 'knowledge development schools', a significant number of secondary schools. For program management and potential selection purposes, Dialogic is developing a database that quickly provides insight into the characteristics of participating schools. Furthermore, Dialogic is developing a set of indicators to empirically measure the concept of excellence. Initially, this project focuses on cognitive excellence among very good and smart pre-university students. Subsequently, it will also address measuring excellence more broadly.
