After nine years of Eerst De Klas (2009 - 2018) and five years of the OnderwijsTraineeship (2013 - 2018), both programmes designed to attract more academics to become teachers in secondary education, are coming to an end. Following the midterm evaluations in 2014 (EDK) and 2015 (OTS), Dialogic, commissioned by PBT, also conducted the final evaluation of both programmes. It was revealed that only 23% of the EDK trainees and 33% of the Education Trainees would have chosen teaching without the traineeship. This means that a target group has been reached that otherwise would not have chosen a career in education.
The programmes were officially concluded with the final event 'The teachers of today', and a magazine ('Klasse') was developed, presenting the goals and results of the programmes, along with opinions and facts from various stakeholders. As a follow-up to EDK and OTS, a new traineeship has been established by the VO Council, VSNU, ICL, and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science: Trainees in Education.
