The organization&#8217;s website states the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Kinderen die nu voor het eerst naar school gaan, solliciteren rond 2032 naar hun eerste baan.

With the world changing so rapidly and the needs of individuals, communities, countries, companies and the world as a whole changing so rapidly, education around the world needs to focus on what can work for the future rather than only focusing on what has worked in the past.

So why would <em>Ons Onderwijs 2032<\/em> recommend teaching English at a younger age?<\/p>\n<p>For one, learning any foreign language at a younger age is actually something desired. Children&#8217;s brains are like sponges and acquiring a new language early means that they will be able to deepen their handling of this language much faster and with a much more native-like accuracy than an adult learner could. The idea that children shouldn&#8217;t be exposed to a second language because it could hurt their development is outdated and disproven. Many children around the world handle two languages for a variety of reasons such as migration, bicultural families, specialized schools, etc.\u00a0Another reason could be to leave time for a third and even fourth language. Squeezing in two languages at the high school level leaves little time to truly grasp the language and many students can forget these languages overtime.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on <em>Ons Onderwijs 2032<\/em> and the recommendations?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For those wishing to look into second language acquisition in the Netherlands, the following link might be useful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.npo.nl\/mo-actueel-meertaligheid-in-het-onderwijs\/03-10-2015\/VPWON_1237942\">MO Actueel<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 1st of this year, Platform Onderwijs 2032 presented a list of recommendations in order to improve the education for future generations.
