Aanbod van verkeerseducatie in de basisvorming : educatie in verkeer en verkeersveiligheid in de eerste drie leerjaren van het voortgezet onderwijs. In opdracht van het Directoraat-Generaal Rijkswaterstaat, Adviesdienst Verkeer en Vervoer AVV.

This report contains the results of a study into the role played by traffic education in the first three years in Dutch secondary schools. The study was carried out by SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research together with the Central Institute for School Examinations (CITO). In Spring 1999, about 1200 teachers of the first three years in secondary education completed a written questionnaire. The sample was stratified by school type, year, and subject. The school types were Higher Vocational Schools (HVC), Lower and Higher General Secondary Education (LGSE & HGSE), pre-University (P-U), and combinations of these types. There were a number of general questions, questions about the actual time spent on traffic education lessons during the past school year, and how much time was spent on road safety lessons. The respondents' opinions were asked about present and future traffic education: the quality of the educational tools, and the amount of time they would like to spend on traffic and road safety education. It can be concluded that: (1) little attention is paid to traffic education in the first 2 or 3 years in secondary schools; and (2) that within this, the attention paid to road safety is marginal.
