In Amsterdam, spots at secondary schools for students are allocated using a lottery and matching system, through the so-called Core Procedure. This is how it works: students sign up during the central application period, where they indicate their preferred secondary schools. Within this list of preferences, students are then selected by lottery for a secondary school at the level of their school advice.
The outcome of the Core Procedure is of great importance for students, their parents, and schools in primary education (PO) and secondary education (VO). The Core Procedure must be clear and transparent for all parties involved, and the available information must be easy to understand.
Dialogic conducted a satisfaction survey in recent years on this central lottery and matching system on behalf of the ELK foundation.
