Pupil count forms
Since 2010, DUO has provided funding for schools in Caribbean Netherlands. The pupil count is the basis to determine funding. The count dates are as follows:
| Sector | Count date |
| Primary education | February 1 and October 1 |
| Secondary education | October 1 |
The simplification of the funding structure for primary education (“vereenvoudiging bekostiging primair onderwijs”) takes effect January 1st, 2023. For primary schools in the Caribbean Netherlands this means that there will be counted on both February 1 and October 1.
You can find the pupil count forms for count date February 1, 2023 on this page.
