Data Talk: Check the Facts
Channel: Data Spaces Support Centre
Date: 14/01/2022

On Wednesday 7 April, Jasmin Kareem (Statistics Netherlands) and Eva van Rooijen (Knowledge Centre for Government Publications) joined the EDP and Support Centre for Data Sharing (SCDS) team for a discussion on Check-the-Facts Higher Education, a decision-making tool for students. 

Check-the-Facts Higher Education provides high school students with an intuitive platform to access information that can help them decide which future studies to pursue. In doing so, the platform combines data from Statistics Netherlands as well as the Education Executive Agency (DUO). 
Though the tool is primarily designed for students, there is uptake by policy-makers who are interested in the analytics aspect of the tool to help guide decision-making as well.
