Questions of the Secretary of Education
• Statement: there is a problem in the connection between MBO and HBO, specifically for those who transfer to a training in HBO which is not related to their MBO-training
• General question to the council: how can this be improved?
• Specific question to the council: is there a need to improve the qualification dossier, while this dossier is mainly oriented towards the labour market?

The path to higher vocational education, Education Council, april 2010
Findings of the Council
• Change in student types: big increase of students in HBO transferring from MBO
• High drop-out rate in the first year of HBO not only for students transferring from MBO, but also for students transferring from HAVO: between 30 and 40%
• Relatively small difference in drop-out rates
![Page 9: The path to higher professional education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815546550346895dc315ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The path to higher vocational education, Education Council, april 2010
• Low yield after 5 years of study for students transferring both from MBO and from HAVO: around 50%
• Insufficient empirical evidence relating to differences in yield between those who transferred to a training in HBO related to their MBO-training and those who transferred to a training unrelated to their MBO-training
![Page 10: The path to higher professional education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56815546550346895dc315ef/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The path to higher vocational education, Education Council, april 2010
Considerations of the Council:
• There is for both MBO- and HAVO-students in HBO a relatively high drop-out rate in the first year and a relatively low yield after 5 years
• There is insufficient empirical evidence relating to differences between those who transferred to a training in HBO related to their MBO-training and those who transferred to a training not related to their MBO-training

Conclusions of the Council:• There is a problem, but not only for those
transferring from MBO • There is no need to amend the general
right of free access to any training in HBO• Due to the selective function of the
propedeutic year in HBO there is a balance between the need for highly skilled professionals and the importance of the right of free access

• Recently initiated government policy (improving language and arithmetics in different ways) will ensure an increase in the quality of new HBO students
• Nevertheless further improvements are necessary for those transferring from MBO ánd HAVO
