Glossary
Understand the English API terms used for Dutch education concepts.
Dutch education has terminology that does not always translate cleanly. Our API uses English-first names to keep integrations and SDKs consistent.
The API Reference shares descriptions with the Directus Data Studio. We prioritise useful Dutch editor guidance over translating every OpenAPI description. Therefore some of the OpenAPI descriptions remain in Dutch.
Look up common terms
To ensure that you do not have to infer the meaning of our terminology, we have included common terms in the glossary below.
This glossary is a work in progress. If you come across terms that are confusing and unexplained, please let us know and we’ll add them to the list.
| Term | Translation | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Regional Education Desk | Regioloket | Regional variants of onderwijsloketten. Most onderwijsregio’s have a regional education desk. Although their services relate to the Onderwijsloket, there is no direct affiliation. |
| Program | Opleiding | Courses, studies, and other educational programs that result in qualifications for working in the educational sector. Primarily—though not exclusively—teacher-training programs. |
| Testimonial | Ervaringsverhaal | An article describing an individual’s experience working in the educational sector. |
| Educational Institution | Onderwijsinstelling | Institutions that are offering programs. Can be universities, universities of applied sciences or vocational school. Schools in primary and secondary education are not included. |
