Op een zomerschool kunnen kinderen terecht die weinig te doen hebben tijdens de zomervakantie, bijvoorbeeld omdat de ouders de hele zomer doorwerken. Maar de financiering van die scholen staat onder druk.

Maastrichts Mooiste | Run voor KWF Afgelopen zondag 8 juni heeft een geweldig ROA-team deelgenomen aan de 10K van Maastrichts Mooiste, een sportieve actie voor KWF Kankerbestrijding. Met de steun van donateurs is er een indrukwekkend bedrag ingezameld! #KWF #Run10K #MaastrichtsMooiste

De onderwijswoordvoerders van coalitiepartijen twijfelen zélf over bezuinigen op de meest kansarme leerlingen. Laten we hopen dat het niet alleen blijft bij mooie woorden, maar ze óók onze motie steunen. Die is duidelijk: deze bezuiniging moet van tafel! www.aob.nl/actueel/arti...

Proud supervisor 😊👏🥳! 👇👇👇

If you're an academic job market candidate studying causal questions related to crime/CJ policy, and you're still looking for a job for next year, could you email me? I'm trying to keep track/would love to help if I can.

Vandaag begint een estafettestaking van de Nederlandse universiteiten. Op een enkele kleine lokale staking na is dit sinds mensenheugenis niet gebeurd. Staak mee! neerlandistiek.nl/2025/03/staa...

New ROA study shows what vocational education in the Netherlands can learn from Germany’s dual system. Strengthening workplace learning and offering clear career pathways can make vocational education more attractive and better aligned with the labour market. edu.nl/gtptv #vocationaleducation #MBO

Spring is in the air 😍☀️🌸♥️

Lovely sunset tonight 😍🌇☀️♥️!

‼️Follow advise‼️ Our amazing research institute has decided to terminate X and is now on Bluesky! Follow @roamaastricht.bsky.social for posts about our research on education, transitions, AI & technology, the labour market, and many more topics! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Devastating news that @iza.org is effectively closing down 😔 It was (or at the moment, is) a wonderful institute and the network was tremendously helpful in dissaminating work in labour economics. IZA will sorely be missed 😢 So sorry for all IZA employees!

It's a very sad day. Just notified that @iza.org is closing its doors as of 31 December 2025. At a time when labor is under attack and technological change moves at an ever-faster pace, I can't help but think that this is a short-sighted decision. My heart goes out to those folks who work there.

🔦BRIDGE Researchers in the Spotlight! 🔺How resilient are students' test scores after major disruptions? 🔺Can targeted interventions help mitigate learning deficits? 📢L.Gambi & @kristofdewitte.bsky.social investigate the long-term impact of #covid19 school closures on student performance in 🇧🇪.

Bij gelijke prestaties krijgen kinderen met een migratieachtergrond geen lager schooladvies dan kinderen met een Nederlandse achtergrond, blijkt uit onderzoek van econoom Thomas van Huizen en collega’s. Het is juist hoger! Voor onderzoekers is dat geen nieuws, voor het ministerie van Onderwijs wel.

Super fun to do this interview 😍👇!

@carlahaelermans.bsky.social and I getting ready to be interviewed about our #international classroom #research by @suelibrodin.bsky.social. Coming your way soon! #internationalisation #PBL #TeachLearnSky @edlab-ctl.bsky.social @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social @umsbe.bsky.social @uaces.bsky.social
