KdG University of Applied Sciences collaborates with 5 Antwerp schools to better prepare students for vocational secondary education

Karel de Grote Hogeschool collaborates with five Antwerp secondary vocational schools to enhance student preparation for higher education, focusing on vehicle technology. The pilot project aims to improve student transition to higher studies, addressing challenges faced by those moving directly from secondary education. The initiative emphasizes the importance of an additional preparatory year, which has proven beneficial for students. KdG plans to inform students about the vehicle technology program and encourage them to consider this extra year for better readiness. An evaluation of the project will occur in a year, with potential expansion to other programs.
