New Modern National Vocational School

Last year, Stef Vink was appointed director-administrator of the Leidse instrumentmakers School (LiS).


Since then, he has been working on a new strategy for the LiS, under the denominator of ‘New Modern National Vocational School’. The objective is to modernise the curriculum by offering more challenging projects and paying more attention to digital design and manufacturing. As described in this Mikroniek article, the new strategy should help the LiS to strengthen its position as an independent, unique and relatively small vocational school in the Dutch scale-driven educational system. For this, support from the professional field is indispensable.
