About this discipline
The transition class 1B targets pupils who have not obtained the certificate of primary education because they have not achieved the educational goals of primary education. The transition class OKAN is a preparatory learning year for pupils who have not been in Belgium for a long time and have learning and language deficits. Often they also lack basic math skills, because they had a different approach or were not given enough math in their country of origin. In these classes, students still receive a lot of Dutch, an extra package of mathematics but also other general subjects. They also work in projects, deepening and reinforcing.
