- Secondary education (voortgezet onderwijs): Compulsory education for children aged 12 to 16, followed by two additional years of non-compulsory education.
- Vocational education (middelbaar beroepsonderwijs or mbo): Non-compulsory education for ages 16 and older, offering vocational training and apprenticeships.
