Tailor-made education – opportunities for every talent

In the city of the Netherlands’ oldest university, education should be paramount. Education is the engine of equal opportunities – from childcare and secondary education to university.

What D66 Leiden wants:

  • Investing in school buildings.
    Healthy, safe, and sustainable school buildings in all neighborhoods. This means space, fresh air, and modern amenities.
  • Customized education and talent development in secondary and vocational education.
    More space for personalized learning paths, practical training, and technology. This way, we better align with Leiden’s knowledge and innovation sector and give every talent the right place.
  • Strong collaboration with science and industry.
    Schools, universities, universities of applied sciences, vocational colleges, and businesses collaborate on educational projects. Science, culture, and technology are brought into the classroom.
  • Broad support for students.
    From preschool education to young adulthood: additional support through bridge officers, youth care at school and close cooperation with neighborhood teams and care.
  • Equal opportunities, even outside the classroom.
    Support with homework, language skills, and – where needed – a healthy breakfast. Children should be able to start the school day with equal opportunities, regardless of their home situation.
