Mother tongue education

It is important to maintain ties with Flanders and to keep communicating in Dutch. It is partly a cultural concern, but other reasons also have to be taken into account. After all, a thorough knowledge of the Dutch language and Flemish culture ensures a smooth return to the Flemish education system. There are various organisations that facilitate this. We highlight three of them:

  • Dutch Education Abroad (NOB)

    NOB is the hub of a worldwide network of nearly 200 schools in 115 countries. At NOB, education is provided in many ways: part-time or full-time, local or digital, and at primary and secondary level. NOB offers the certainty of quality education. More information to be found on their website: www.stichtingnob.nl.

CNaVT

The Certificate Dutch as a Foreign Language (CNaVT) is a project of the organisation Taalunie (Language Union) and is implemented by the Centre for Language and Education (KU Leuven). The CNaVT has been testing and certifying learners of Dutch as a Foreign Language for over fifty years. Based on task-oriented, domain-specific exams, the CNaVT tests Dutch language skills and awards internationally recognised certificates. More information can be found on their website: www.cnavt.org.
