- Amsterdam's 230 primary schools decided on May 12, 2025, to phase out freelance teachers and hire only permanent staff.
- The decision responds to concerns about costs, teaching quality, and external teachers having less bond with pupils and colleagues.
- The schools, including those in Weesp, Diemen, and Duivendrecht, employ over 4,600 people with freelance teachers currently filling 5 to 10 percent of positions.
- Arie van Loon of the BBO stated permanent teams foster stronger connections, and alderman Marjolein Moorman supports ensuring "peace, quality, and equal opportunities."
- The phased approach allows schools time to transition, aiming to improve lesson quality and reduce millions in deployment costs annually.
