Christian Democrats: Netherlands has an Education Problem
Sybrand
Buma, leader of the Christian Democrats, says that the Netherlands has an
education problem. Youngsters have to be
educated to understand that they have duties. Therefore, a national service draft
has to be instituted. After high school,
students should be obliged to work for a number of months for a volunteer
organization, the Ministry of Defense or another such social institution. The students can then show that they are
doing something for the Netherlands, and a future employer can see that they
are competent. Buma added that in the
Netherlands, a society has been created where the question “what can I get out
of it?” has become far more dominant than “what can I do for society?” Duties, and not only rights, belong to a functional
society, and recognition of such is lacking in the Netherlands.
