Amsterdam has been struggling for years with various secondary schools receiving too many applications and consequently having to reject students. In order to address the dissatisfaction, student placement has been carried out through a system of central lottery and matching since the 2014/2015 school year. On the 5th of April 2018, the fourth central lottery and matching of primary school students to secondary education took place in Amsterdam. Over the past three years, a satisfaction survey has been conducted among parents, students, stakeholders from primary and secondary education, and other organizations. Once again this year, Dialogic conducted a satisfaction survey on behalf of OSVO. The survey aimed to assess the level of satisfaction among stakeholders regarding the system and the outcomes of central lottery and matching, as well as to identify areas for improvement.
