Vlaamse toetsen: the Flemish tests in 2027

Every pupil in the 4de and 6de leerjaar (years 4 and 6) of a Flemish school takes the Vlaamse toetsen in April or May. The tests cover Dutch and maths, are taken on a computer, and are the same for every school in Flanders. They mainly give schools feedback. Your child does not need to study for them.
