The administrative merger between the Dr. Nassau College and CS Vincent van Gogh in Assen is one step closer. The supervisory boards and participation councils of both secondary schools in the Assen region agree with the plan.
However, that does not mean that the merger is final. For example, the city council of Assen must also give its approval. It is not clear when that will give a definite answer.
The supervisory boards and participation councils of both school communities are in favor of an administrative merger, because they believe that this will improve the quality of education. The merger must also “contribute to the preservation of the versatile educational offer in North and Central Drenthe”. The schools have already indicated that they expect a reduction in the number of pupils in the near future.
Both school boards guarantee that students can continue to choose from the various educational concepts. There is also still the choice between Christian or public education.
In Beilen, the two schools already work together. The fusion school in the village is called Volta.
