The Dutch education system is characterized by division, as it caters for the different needs of learning for different pupils. Education is compulsary in the Netherlands from the age of 5 till 18, although most people start with primary school the day after they turn 4. | The Dutch education system is characterized by division, as it caters for the different needs of learning for different pupils.

You go to primary school from the age of 4 till 12, which is divided in 8 groups based on age. Dutch kids in school usually don´t get any homework in primary school that they have to make at home. Furthermore, there is one final test in the last class of primary school that gives an indication of the intelligence of the student (which is needed to assess which level of high school the kid will go to). However, this test is an advise, and the teacher will in the end decide which level would be appropriate for the pupil. | You go to primary school from the age of 4 till 12, which is divided in 8 groups based on age.
