secondary MR

By law, every school in the Netherlands is linked with a medezeggenschrapsraad (MR).  This is a participation council, where elected representatives of teachers, students and their parents are consulted by the school management over matters concerning the management of the school. As prescribed by law, there are separate MR’s for the Secondary and Primary sections of the school.

The MR holds, according to legislation, two types of rights: the right of advice (adviesrecht) and the right of approval (instemmingrecht).  Matters in which either right can be used are specified. 

The MR’s are regulated by the Wet medezeggenschap op scholen legislation of 1992 and 2007.
