SERV backs the actual participatory process to finalize a new decree on student guidance from September 2016 onwards. What today is going well should be taken up in the framework of the new decree. SERV thinks the concept note of the Flemish government is putting too much stress on (health)care. All pupils and students should be informed timely on the (range?) supply of study disciplines, on the health and welfare institutions and on the transition to the labour market of the future. Other stakeholders/partners can take up a role in the counseling or guidance especially since part of the learning process takes place in the work place. Further on the CLB’s should invest more time in the vulnerable groups.
