Excellence is an important theme in education. Since 2008, the Platform Bèta Techniek has been actively promoting excellence in higher education through the Sirius Program. Since 2011, excellence has also been part of the policy agendas for primary and secondary education of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW).
In 2012, the School aan Zet program was launched for primary and secondary schools. Within School aan Zet, schools work on their own ambitions on various themes. One of these themes is excellence and giftedness. Schools and stakeholders involved in the predecessors of School aan Zet (Bèta Excellent and the 100-schools trajectory) expressed the need to understand which students are considered excellent or gifted, what the school careers of these students look like, and where these students are generally located?
To answer this question - who are the excellent students? - Dialogic conducted research on excellence in education. This has resulted in a triptych of publications that will be published at the end of this year: part 1 focuses on the best-performing students in primary education (part 1a) and how this group develops in secondary education (part 1b). Part 2 focuses on the top 20% of best-performing students in pre-university education (vwo). Finally, part 3 provides insight into a pilot study in which excellent students from secondary education were followed into higher education.
