Every year, approximately 8,000 students in Amsterdam make the transition from primary education (PO) to secondary education (VO). In Amsterdam, several secondary schools face over-subscriptions, resulting in about 12.5% of students not being placed in their first choice school.
To address the dissatisfaction associated with this, a system of central lottery and matching has been in place since the 2014-2015 school year to place students. In 2017, Dialogic, commissioned by the OSVO association, also examined the satisfaction of parents, students, and teachers with this system.
