Primary and secondary school students
This group includes students in regular as well as special primary education and all students in secondary education (VMBO, HAVO, VWO, VAVO).
Registration
If you register your child at a primary or secondary school – or at another educational institution offering secondary education – DUO will process personal data and store it in the register of education participants. The data stored in this register is used by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science to fund educational institutions, by the Inspectorate of Education to carry out its supervisory duties, by municipalities to supervise compliance with the Compulsory Education Act, by educational institutions to implement admission and enrolment procedures, and by other administrative bodies to perform their statutory duties.
If you are a full-time VMBO, HAVO, VWO, VSO or VAVO student and you are 18 years of age or older, your data will be used to collect tuition fees (VAVO) and to provide financial support (school contribution and education cost allowance).
