Intensive counselling programme for pre-university and senior general secondary school pupils

26 May 2014

September will see the launch of the North-Netherlands Orientation project (Oriëntatietraject Noord), an intensive programme in which pupils in the final year of pre-university (VWO) and senior general secondary (HAVO) education will receive counselling to help them in their choice of higher education. The orientation project was initiated by the Augustinuscollege and Gomaruscollege secondary schools in Groningen, in association with the University of Groningen and Hanze University of Applied Sciences. In the new counselling programme, secondary school pupils in their final year who are having trouble deciding which higher education programme to choose, will be offered counselling twice a week for a period of three months.
