Stichting Present, openbaar basisonderwijs

What Stichting Present, openbaar basisonderwijs does

Stichting Present, openbaar basisonderwijs is a Dutch stichting (foundation) operating under the trade name Openbaar Onderwijs Present that delivers public primary education to children aged 4–12. It runs eight schools across eleven physical locations in the West Friesland Oost region of North Holland, covering the municipalities of Drechterland, Enkhuizen, Medemblik, and Stede Broec, and serves approximately 1,500 students daily. Its headquarters (Bestuurskantoor) is located at Wijzend 56, 1613 KP Grootebroek. The foundation is governed by a five-member Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board), chaired by Koen Elbers since 1 June 2025, and led by a single-person College van Bestuur currently headed by bestuurder Mariëlle Moll, appointed 1 March 2024.

The foundation operates a portfolio of differentiated educational methodologies across its schools, including Jenaplan pedagogy at Jenaplanschool De Dijkwerkers (Wervershoof), bilingual instruction (up to ~40% English) and VVTO early-English at Het Driespan in Enkhuizen, the Snappet tablet-based digital learning method from group 4 onwards at several schools, plusklassen for gifted students at De Roelof van Wienesse locations, and the Vreedzame School (Peaceful School) social-skills program. Underlying technology is principally the third-party Snappet digital curriculum delivered via student tablets; the foundation itself does not maintain proprietary software platforms.

The business model is government-funded: as a public primary education provider, Stichting Present receives per-student lump-sum funding from the Dutch government, with primary education provided free of charge to families. Revenue therefore depends on the Dutch primary education funding framework, the CAO Primair Onderwijs collective labor agreement (currently 2025-2027), and any weighted allocations for disadvantage or small schools. There are no tuition fees, no commercial revenue streams, and no enterprise customers. The foundation publishes jaarverslagen (annual reports) as its primary financial transparency mechanism.

Direct peers

• Stichting Innovo: Dutch public primary education foundation operating multiple schools in Limburg. Directly comparable as a regional stichting for openbaar basisonderwijs with similar multi-school governance structure (College van Bestuur with Raad van Toezicht), CAO PO staffing, and inspectorate oversight. Same business model and regulatory environment as Stichting Present.
• Stichting Penta: Dutch primary education foundation operating Catholic and public schools in Zeeland. Comparable as a multi-school stichting for primary education under the same CAO PO framework and Dutch Education Inspectorate oversight, though with a faith-based component in addition to public schools.
• Stichting De Basis: Dutch public primary education foundation operating schools in the Drenthe region. Directly comparable as a regional stichting providing openbaar basisonderwijs with similar school-count, multi-location, and central administration structure. Same funding model and regulatory framework.
• Stichting Salomo: Regional Dutch public primary education foundation operating schools in the Utrecht/Flevoland area under the same stichting governance and government-funding model. Directly comparable in scale (multiple schools, several thousand students) and educational mission (openbaar basisonderwijs with differentiated pedagogies).

Broad incumbents

• Stichting Lucas Onderwijs: One of the largest Dutch public primary education foundations, operating many schools across the Zuid-Holland region. Directly comparable as a stichting providing openbaar basisonderwijs to children ages 4-12, with the same CAO PO labor framework and government funding model. Significantly larger scale makes it a broad incumbent rather than a direct regional peer.
• Stichting ZAAM: Large Amsterdam-based foundation operating dozens of primary and secondary schools under the openbaar onderwijs mandate. Comparable business model (stichting, government-funded, CAO PO staffing) but materially larger scale and metropolitan focus, making it a broad incumbent rather than a regional peer.

Others

• Snappet: Dutch educational technology vendor providing the tablet-based personalized learning platform deployed by Stichting Present from group 4 onwards. Not a competitor but an enabling technology partner; comparable in the sense that Snappet's penetration in Dutch primary education is a key enabler of Stichting Present's digital learning differentiation.
• PO-Raad: Dutch sector organization representing primary education foundations (stichtingen) and school boards nationally. Not a peer in the competitive sense, but the primary collective bargaining and policy counterpart for foundations like Stichting Present on CAO PO negotiations, funding advocacy, and inspectorate interactions.

Regional players

• Stichting Fluvium: Public primary education foundation operating schools in Friesland. Comparable in mission and stichting structure but operates in a different Dutch province, making it a regional peer rather than direct head-to-head competition. Useful as a comparable for similar-scale multi-school primary foundations in peripheral Dutch regions.
• Stichting OPO Hoogeveen: Smaller-scale Dutch public primary education foundation operating in the Hoogeveen area of Drenthe. Comparable as a regional stichting for openbaar basisonderwijs with similar multi-school structure, but located in a different province and at smaller scale than Stichting Present.
