About
Insidr is a website about schooling in the Netherlands, written for people who have moved to the region around Eindhoven and Helmond. Its about page states that the regional development organisation took the initiative to build it as a non-commercial platform with information about the Dutch education system, and that the point is to help internationals land in the country while also being useful to schools, businesses and local government. Much of the site is built from first hand accounts. Contributors are internationals from countries including Poland, India, Italy, Mexico, South Africa and Taiwan, and each explains one part of the system: the routes towards a university degree, the move from primary to secondary school, how a child enters Dutch education, and where the Dutch language fits in. Reference pages sit alongside the personal accounts. One covers newcomer education and the international transition class, and lists the parent and child support centres for the region, three for primary education and one for secondary education, naming the municipalities each of them serves. Insidr has no walk in desk: questions go through a form on its contact page.
