Guidelines for the development of the Dutch educational system from 1975 to 1995 are presented in this booklet. Part of a series of reviews of member countries' educational planning and policy, this document is presented in three parts. Part I, Background Report, is the official English summary of the original report titled "Contours of a Future Education System" and known as the Contours Memorandum. It emphasizes educational objectives, the social implications of education, the teacher's role, costs, and efficiency, and describes ideal future schools from the elementary level through higher education. Part II, Examiners' Report and Questions, presents the report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) examiners who visited the Netherlands in 1976: This section includes criticisms and comments on all phases of the original report and specific questions on statements made in the report. Part III, The Confrontation Meeting, gives an account of the discussion which took place at the May 1976 meeting of the OECD Education Committee between the examiners and the Dutch delegation. A list of the examiners and the Dutch delegation members is included in the report. (Author/DB)
