What Faqta does

It develops and distributes a portfolio of curriculum teaching methods (lesmethodes) — Faqta Wereld, InZicht Verwacht, Lezen, Burgerschap, Nederlands Nieuw, Topo, and Digi (free) — for Dutch primary schools, alongside physical learning materials such as activity books, workbooks, and learning workbooks. The company's stated pedagogy centers on thematic coherence across subjects, with language skills layered onto world-orientation content, and supports methodologies including close reading, thematic teaching, modeling, and Dalton education.

Faqta operates a B2B go-to-market: products are sold directly to schools and school foundations through the company's own webshop (shop.faqta.nl), with implementation supported via dedicated pages for teachers, schools, and stichtingen and content-led demand generation through a blog, podcast, webinars, and downloadable resources. Per the company's website, Faqta serves 500+ schools, 7,500+ teachers, and 100,000+ students, and is trusted by 200+ educational foundations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.
