In May 2011, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) presented the Action Plan for Better Performance and the Action Plan Teacher 2020 (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plans), outlining the new policy focus and ambitions for the period 2012-2015. Together with the sector, these Action Plans were translated into the Governance Agreement (2012-2015) VO-Raad/OCW. This governance agreement sets out both the performance goals for schools by 2015 and the measures that the minister and state secretary will take to achieve them.
The implementation of the Action Plans began in September 2011 through the Beta Excellent programme, which encourages schools to translate national policy objectives into their own school practices. With guidance from the programme team and the Expert Committee, selected schools, based on initial discussions, refine and develop building blocks, showcasing best practices. A building block is an approach developed by the school on a specific theme, such as excellence or beta technology.
Dialogic, in collaboration with Platform Beta Techniek, has mapped out the outcomes of the programme. Attention has also been given to key points for the School aan Zet programme (established for the period 2012-2015).
