Reformed school entry examination (rSEU)
Before children start school, they undergo an initial school check-up. This is to ensure that the children are optimally prepared for the start of school. In the district, the so-called reformed school entry examination will begin this fall. The aim is to provide early support where necessary in order to promote a successful transition to school. There will be no changes to the school start date and age.
