Education 2030 Curriculum Content Mapping

The Education 2030 project hopes that the present analysis will continue to serve as a basis for further reflection, stimulating discussions and actions that support the type of future-oriented curriculum that the Netherlands is aiming for. The report starts with an overview of the curriculum renewal process in the Netherlands (chapter 1) and an introduction to the Curriculum Content Mapping methodology (chapter 2), followed by the findings of the analysis in the subsequent chapters. Chapter 3 provides an overview of which competencies in the OECD Learning Compass 2030 are more prominent in the Dutch curriculum proposal across learning areas while chapter 4 focuses on how some future-oriented competencies are represented in specific learning areas. Chapter 5 discusses the findings from the perspective of “global themes” and “cross-curricular skills” prioritised in the Dutch curriculum proposal. Concluding remarks and insights are presented in chapter 6.
