In Perspectief with Gitta de Graaf and Marjan Voorkamp

Published on 16 January 2026 - Created by Mario de Jonge and Carla den Hartog

The main theme of this episode is how ICLON grew into a close-knit community in which education, research and professionalisation come together. Marjan talks candidly about the art of administrative survival, reserves, 'to be used up' lists and the role of founding father Nico Verloop. Gitta outlines the daily work of the teacher trainer and looks ahead: not more influx into teacher training, but less outflow of teachers from education is, according to her, the key to tackling the teacher shortage.
