The quality agreements is a framework, created by the government, that states how the academic universities and universities of applied sciences can invest funds that are generated by the abolition of the basic grants in 2015. Starting next year, the UG gets additional funds every year to invest in the quality of the education. These funds are quite a large sum of money: in the year 2019 the UG will receive 7.7 million euros to be spent as part of these quality agreements. These funds increase every year up until the maximum of 22.3 million euros in 2024. But these funds are only released if the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvao.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NVAO<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the organisation responsible for the educational accreditation of the universities and her courses, agrees with the plans of the UG. What\u2019s important is that solid plans are created for the investment of the funds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these quality agreements it is emphasized that it is important that students and personnel are included in the way these in investments take shape and are accountable to the Minister of Education, Culture and Research (OCW). The UG has received six themes as part of the quality agreements where they can invest these funds in:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intensive and small scale education;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">educational differentiation;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">further professionalisation of teaching staff (teacher education);<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fitting and high quality educational facilities;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more and better guidance of students;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study success (including throughput, accessibility, equal opportunities).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UG has to invest in one or multiple themes or has to argue why investments aren\u2019t necessary in one of the themes. As Lijst Calimero, we think that the needs of different faculties are important and should be a leading factor in the discussion of the distribution of the additional funds. In the process of distributing these funds, brainstorming sessions within the faculties are of key importance for the process of agreeing on the quality agreements. By collecting the input of all the involved parties (students, staff, etc) and by using this to create a general plan that meets the different needs of the faculties. Through these means, we can guarantee that the quality of the education of every UG student improves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav admin_label=&#8221;Berichtennavigatie&#8221; in_same_term=&#8221;off&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_post_title admin_label=&#8221;Titel bericht&#8221; featured_image=&#8221;off&#8221; module_bg_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0)&#8221; title_font=&#8221;|on|||&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#0fb13a&#8221; \/][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Afbeelding&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Site-Banner-Kwaliteitsafspraken-1.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;left&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Tekst&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;font-weight: 500;&#8221;] The Board of the University of Groningen has agreed to approach the faculties in the nearby future [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[613],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nieuws"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9153"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9166,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9153\/revisions\/9166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
