Helpt onze toetscultuur het leesplezier om zeep?

Pointer

17th September 2023 26 mins Season 5 Episode 28

Dutch children do not like to read. In terms of reading pleasure, our ten-year-olds are somewhere at the bottom of the international rankings and their reading skills are now below the Western average. What is different in the Netherlands than in other countries? Teacher Henny and school leader Eva tip us off that our testing culture could be to blame. Schools and students are judged on their test results, so that is often what language education focuses on. How does this work? What do children actually learn during reading comprehension lessons? And are there also schools where children do enjoy reading and writing?

Extra: Boeren met tovervloeren

Thousands of farmers have invested in expensive sustainable stable floors in recent years and have thus been able to increase their livestock. The 'magic floors' are said to significantly reduce nitrogen emissions, but new research shows that they do virtually nothing. Companies now sometimes emit more than before. According to the ministry, the new insights have no consequences for farmers. But is this correct? Nature clubs are considering new enforcement requests and turning permits upside down. In the search for this nervous future, Pointer encounters an overestimated belief in innovation, mismanagement and ghost permits. How did we get into this?
