Supplementary notes

The source explains that 'senior secondary vocational education (mbo) consists of occupational training whereby theory (the school-based track of senior secondary vocational education, bol) or practice (the apprenticeship-based track of senior secondary vocational education, bbl) is paramount. Of adult education, only basic secondary education for adults (vavo) is included here. This is so-called second chance education, where adults can acquire a certificate or a pass at the highest level of preparatory secondary vocational education (vmbo), senior general secondary education (havo) or pre-university education (vwo).'
