The Dutch Educational System & Why I Hate it // Dutch Person Explaining the Dutch Education System

Hi,
This is the education system I grew up with and I don't like it. Having experienced other educational systems in both the UK and US allowed me to reflect back on how weird and compartmentalising the Dutch system actually is. Don't get me wrong, I also think that we're doing things right in the Pre-K and Elementary school department, but as soon as we hit the final year of elementary school the system gets overcomplicated which impacts society as a whole.

Little bit about myself:
I'm 25 years old and I'm originally from Amsterdam, I currently live in London. At the University of Oxford, I read for the Mst in Modern Languages. I've graduated from the University of Amsterdam where I studied the BA in French Literature and Culture. Would I recommend the University of Amsterdam - No - Would I recommend the University of Oxford - Yes, 100%.
