Just to give you an idea of how time-consuming the programme is: at Erasmus University, it is <a href=\"https:\/\/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.risbo.nl%2Fr_expertise.php%3Fa%3D121&amp;data=04%7C01%7Chofland%40em.eur.nl%7Cdf46c087b4804919bf5808d897978c0f%7C715902d6f63e4b8d929b4bb170bad492%7C0%7C1%7C637426025626962418%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=VyogttiJhzQWI79Rf6fK%2Fpv%2BiyaE1Kos%2FDzXrHYxThU%3D&amp;reserved=0\">estimated<\/a>\u00a0that studying for one\u2019s basic teaching qualification (including independent study) involves 80 hours of course work. At Amsterdam VU University, the workload is estimated to be nearly double that: <a href=\"https:\/\/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearnacademy.vu.nl%2Fnl%2Fopleidingen-cursussen%2Fbko-opleiding%2Findex.aspx&amp;data=04%7C01%7Chofland%40em.eur.nl%7Cdf46c087b4804919bf5808d897978c0f%7C715902d6f63e4b8d929b4bb170bad492%7C0%7C1%7C637426025626962418%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=Ca1bym0KmVoe%2Fpa9rrkIt6QBnm40n%2BNI%2FJI%2FnkDCw1s%3D&amp;reserved=0\">150 hours<\/a>. And lecturers working in higher education are already complaining about their very heavy workloads.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, many lecturers do not receive compensation for all the time and effort they put into the courses, we found when we polled the various universities. Lecturers at the Open University, Delft University of Technology and the universities of Twente, Leiden and Tilburg (among other places) are not assigned any hours for their course work.<\/p>\n<p>Maastricht University\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.maastrichtuniversity.nl%2Fnl%2Fsupport%2Fum-medewerkers%2Fjij-en-je-werk%2Fpersoonlijke-ontwikkeling%2Fbasiskwalificatie-onderwijs-bko&amp;data=04%7C01%7Chofland%40em.eur.nl%7Cdf46c087b4804919bf5808d897978c0f%7C715902d6f63e4b8d929b4bb170bad492%7C0%7C1%7C637426025626972369%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=yBQsGYxb1cdrLI2wl1LSEBpPW5PYgfn7mxsIA6TKVDs%3D&amp;reserved=0\">offers<\/a>\u00a0all lecturers who are required to obtain basic teaching qualifications 40 teaching hours to compensate for the classes. After all, the university says, there is a considerable overlap between gaining hands-on experience and the performance of regular teaching duties.<\/p>\n<p>At the University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam VU University and Utrecht University, policies differ from one faculty to the next, and even from one department to the next. Some lecturers are assigned additional hours, while others are not. Even in one single teacher training class, one lecturer may be better compensated for his\/her time than another. However, Utrecht University plans to equalise its teacher training programmes commencing next year, thus reducing the differences in workload and compensation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the boss\u2019s time<\/h2>\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/quote\" class=\"align\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t<figure data-component=\"quote-with-author\" class=\"@container\">\n\t<blockquote class=\"text-md italic @2xl:text-xl @4xl:text-2xl text-purple\">\n\t\tHowever, this raises the question as to what exactly constitutes \u2018work hours\u2019 or \u2018on the boss\u2019s time\u2019.\n\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>So how do lecturers make time to attend to their course work? At the University of Amsterdam, participants typically manage to do it \u2018during their work hours\u2019, a spokesperson said. Open University lecturers are allowed to do it during their work hours, as well. And at Delft University of Technology, too, lecturers are supposed to do their course work \u2018on the boss\u2019s time\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>However, this raises the question as to what exactly constitutes \u2018work hours\u2019 or \u2018on the boss\u2019s time\u2019. After all, a lecturer\u2019s work is generally not restricted to weekdays between 9 and 5. If a lecturer spends her Thursday afternoon working on her teacher training course portfolio rather than marking exams, she will still have to mark those exams in the evening, or on the weekend.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the work done<\/h2><p>\u201cWhen it comes down to it, departments often act as though it is the lecturers\u2019 own responsibility,\u201d says Utrecht-based lecturer in Biomedical Sciences Marc van Mil, who also serves on the board of the Comenius Network of formally recognised education reformers. \u201cBut you can\u2019t simply tell them to get the work done. They can only do so if you reduce their other duties or assign them more hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Van Mil has established a pilot study at his own department at Utrecht UMC for PhD students who would like to obtain their basic university teaching qualification but do not have enough time to do so under their current contracts. If they take part in the pilot study, their contracts may be extended by half a year to allow them to take the course.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ticked off<\/h2><p>\u201cYou may ask yourself whether someone who doesn\u2019t have a basic university teaching qualification should be teaching at all,\u201d says Van Mil. \u201cFor that reason, make sure that junior lecturers join that training programme at once so that they can do a good job right from the start of their career. There\u2019s nothing wrong with\u00a0learning on the job, as long as you have a serious training plan in place right from the start and are given enough opportunity to learn from each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Van Mil also says that supervisors who do not assign lecturers designated hours to obtain their teaching qualifications are basically saying that it\u2019s not all that important. \u201cUnfortunately, the university teaching qualification is all too often regarded as an obligation that must be ticked off on a checklist, rather than as an opportunity to allow someone to make the most of their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6 md:space-y-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"text-lg md:text-xl\">Read more<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid items-strecth grid-cols-1 gap-2 md:gap-4 lg:gap-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"@container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div data-component=\"teaser-post-small\" class=\"block-theme-sand  relative flex h-full bg-sand-300\n\tblock-theme-violet:bg-white block-theme-violet:text-purple block-theme-mocha:bg-sand-500 block-theme-mocha:text-brown\n\tblock-theme-sand:bg-sand-300 block-theme-sand:text-neutral-900\n\tblock-theme-violet:outline-purple-100 block-theme-violet:outline-1 block-theme-violet:outline-t-0\n\ttheme-mocha:bg-white! theme-violet:bg-white! theme-sand:bg-white!\n\tflex-row gap-4 @md:gap-8 p-4 @md:p-6\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image:w-full image:aspect-square image:object-cover shrink-0 size-17.5 @sm:size-21.25 @md:size-30 @lg:size-40\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/14130144\/campus_06_Aysha-1.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139192\" class=\"attachment-square_lg size-square_lg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/14130144\/campus_06_Aysha-1.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139192 2000w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/14130144\/campus_06_Aysha-1-300x194.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139192 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/14130144\/campus_06_Aysha-1-875x566.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139192 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/14130144\/campus_06_Aysha-1-1280x828.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139192 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/14130144\/campus_06_Aysha-1-1600x1035.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139192 1600w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/14130144\/campus_06_Aysha-1-150x97.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139192 150w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/14130144\/campus_06_Aysha-1-225x146.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139192 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 md:gap-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-md @lg:text-lg\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2019\/11\/14\/you-are-finally-about-to-benefit-from-the-fact-that-you-lost-your-student-grant\/\" class=\"absolute-link text-current hocus:underline inline-block\">\n\t\t\t\tYou are finally about to benefit from the fact that students lost their student grant\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-4 items-center\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Gepubliceerd op:<\/span>\n\t\t\t<time class=\"text-sm font-soehne text-neutral-900\" datetime=\"2019-11-14\">14 November 2019<\/time>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<ul data-component=\"list-badges\" class=\"flex items-center gap-2 flex-wrap\" aria-label=\"Geplaatst in categorie\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-component=\"badge\" class=\"block-theme-violet:bg-purple font-soehne font-bold text-sm bg-brown-600 block-theme-violet:bg-purple text-white py-[2px] px-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\tEducation\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generous<\/h2><p>The call for universities to grant their lecturers more hours to obtain their qualifications is not entirely new.

A Tilburg University spokesperson stated that the university was checking whether compensation for the teacher training workload could be incorporated into the \u2018recognition and appreciation\u2019 project.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compensation enshrined in collective agreement?<\/h2><p>So shouldn\u2019t compensation for the hours spent working on getting one\u2019s teaching qualification be enshrined in a nationwide agreement? There is no clause to that effect in the current collective agreement for university employees, says Jan Boersma of the FNV trade union. \u201cWe have not received a request for compensation before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He wonders if making arrangements regarding the allocation of hours is really the answer. \u201cThe main thing is that lecturers must be granted enough room in their regular duties to be able to attend a teacher training programme. This means that you can\u2019t assign lecturers a whole heap of classes to teach, because if you do, they\u2019ll have to do it in their own time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boersma feels that the fact that many young lecturers are only given temporary contracts by universities is problematic. \u201cThey don\u2019t remain in the university\u2019s employ long enough to obtain their university teaching qualification,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Sector leader Donald Pechler of another trade union, the Algemene Onderwijsbond (AOb), agrees. \u201cA teacher training programme must be in line with the number of work hours assigned to a lecturer. If you give a lecturer, say, a temporary one-year contract, it is a tall ask.\u201d He, too, feels that employers must assign their employees additional hours to obtain their teaching qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>Both trade union directors suggest that this might make a good subject to be included in the negotiations for the next collective agreement, which will kick off soon.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is this done at universities of applied sciences?<\/h2>\t<div data-name=\"acf\/featured-text\" class=\"md:mt-6 p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8 bg-sand-300 theme-sand:bg-white theme-violet:bg-white theme-mocha:bg-white wysiwyg *:last:mb-0!\" >\n\t\t<p>The collective agreement for employees of universities of applied sciences contains clear arrangements regarding compensation for mandatory training courses. Beginner lecturers at universities of applied sciences are given the opportunity to obtain a \u2018basic didactic competence qualification\u2019 at the very least.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, universities of applied sciences are having difficulty attracting new and highly educated lecturers. \u201cIt all looks like a great arrangement on paper,\u201d says AOb board member Douwe Dirk van der Zweep. \u201cLecturers receive full compensation for their teaching qualification programme, both in time and in money, but in actual practice, young lecturers kind of struggle. They have a heavy workload and often they still have to get the hang of teaching. We also lose a lot of lecturers due to the fact that they are offered contracts that don\u2019t offer much security. Many beginner lecturers leave the education sector quite quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">De
