+** Pre-school education (0-4 years)**
 The law for pre-school education, the //Wet Kinderopvang// [Childcare Act], allows for regional language varieties "which are in lively use" as medium of instruction, alongside Dutch ((Wet Kinderopvang, BWBR0017017 [Childcare Act]. (2004, July 9). Retrieved October 15, 2024, from [[https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0017017/2023-01-01/0]])).
-  * Primary school education (4-12 years)
+As of January 2025, there is a legal requirement for employees to have a Dutch language certificate at B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference ((ministerie SZW, Ministerie OCW & Brancheorganisatie Kinderopvang. (2024, december 24). //De taaleis in de kinderopvang: Aantoonbaarheidseisen taaleis IKK en taaleis VE// [The language requirement in day care: requirements of demonstrability language requirement IKK and language requirement VE]. Overheid. [[https://open.overheid.nl/documenten/fd15d555-b0f8-46de-9329-d309fc2c74a2/file]].)). Employees who use Frisian or another language full time, are exempt for a Dutch certificate, but are required to have a certificate at B2 level for the language of instruction.
+**Primary school education (4-12 years) **
 The law for primary education, the //Wet op het primair onderwijs// [Primary Education Act], allows for regional language varieties "which are in lively use" as medium of instruction, alongside Dutch ((Wet op het primair onderwijs , BWBR0003420 [Primary Education Act]. (1981, July 2). Retrieved October 15, 2024, from [[https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0003420/2023-01-01/0]].)).
-  * Secondary school education (12-16/18 years)
+** Secondary school education (12-16/18 years) **
 Until August 2022, the //Wet op het voortgezet onderwijs// [Secondary Education Act] stated the same construction as pre-school and primary education, namely that regional language varieties "which are in lively use" can be used as medium of instruction, alongside Dutch. However, this passage no longer is included. The Act does allow to deviate from Dutch as language of instruction when the subject is about another language, or when it is necessary to do so for pupils because of their linguistic background ((Wet op het voortgezet onderwijs 2020, BWBR0044212 [Secondary Education Act 0f 2020]. (2020, September 30). Retrieved Octobe 15, 2024, from [[https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0044212/2024-01-01/0]].)).
