Dutch schools for children with behavioural disorders can no longer meet demand, and have been forced to put more than 1,200 children on waiting lists. An increasing number of students are being referred to these schools from pre-vocational secondary education. The schools are underfunded and lack sufficient staff and classrooms. The education ministry does not pay for students following special secondary education until after they have attended a special school for five months.
