Caribbean NL; students and students in po, vo and mbo

For the Caribbean Netherlands, this table describes the number of pupils participating in the government-funded primary education (PO; primary education), secondary education (vo) and secondary vocational education (mbo) by region (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba), type of education at vo (from school year 2014/'15), age at the PO, and where possible gender. From 2019/'20 the pupils within the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) have also been added (professional education on Sint Eustatius and Saba). Due to the introduction of the CVQ system, as of 2021/'22 there are no students at the mbo on Sint Eustatius and Saba. The islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba are part of the Netherlands as a special municipality from 10 October 2010. Data available: from 2009/'10. Status of the figures: The figures for the school year/study year 2021/‘22 are further provisional and the grades for the school year/study year 2022/’23 are provisional. The other figures are final. Changes as of 15 March 2023: The figures for the school year/study year 2021/“22 have become further provisional and the preliminary figures for the school year/study year 2022/”23 have been added. The figures for the school year/study year 2020/'21 have become final. MBO participants are now called MBO students. This has been adjusted in the table. In 2018, it was decided to call MBO participants MBO students from now on. This was introduced during the academic year 2020/'21 and incorporated into the Educational Education Act. Other bodies presenting figures about the MBO have already switched to MBO students last year. When will the new figures come? In the first quarter of 2024, the further preliminary figures for the school year/study year 2022/‘23 and the preliminary figures for the school year/study year 2023/’24 will be available. In addition, the further preliminary figures for the school year/study year 2021/'22 will then become final.
