Today, the Accreditation Organization of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) presented the results of the system-wide analysis "Futureproof Curricula" at a well-attended launch event. The overview report, "Futureproof Curricula: Building Blocks for Futureproof Higher Education", outlines the key steps needed to make higher education future-ready. This analysis was the result of an intensive year in which nine higher education institutions shared their knowledge and experiences to develop innovative teaching methods that respond to the rapidly changing labor market and society.

QUALITY THROUGH RESILIENCE & INNOVATION; THESE ARE THE FLEMISH BACHELOR PROGRAMMES IN NURSING

NVAO has confidence in the quality of the Bachelor's degree programmes in Nursing. This is evident from the overview report published by NVAO on the assessments of these programmes. However, this was not the case in 2015, when NVAO issued negative accreditation decisions for all these nursing programmes. What followed was a thorough reform of the curriculum and an extension of the duration of studies. NVAO’s overview report sketches a general picture of the assessment procedures and the substantive findings of the assessment panels. The report concludes with NVAO's insights and policy recommendations.
