Graduation Day Revealed

Today marks the big reveal for over 182,000 Dutch secondary school students as they find out if they’ve officially graduated—those who pass traditionally hang their bags on the flagpole, while those who didn’t make it get a second chance with resits starting June 16th. Final results won’t be out until later this fall, but early data shows VMBO students dominate with nearly 95,000, followed by HAVO and VWO. Girls slightly outnumber boys overall, except at VMBO level where it’s nearly even. Geographically, Zuid-Holland leads with a fifth of all graduates, while Zeeland accounts for just 2%. The exam period also saw a surge in complaints—nearly 340,000 from LAKS, up from last year—highlighting some rough patches. Students in special education will receive their results between now and the end of August. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
