They will then be allowed to evaluate their own study programmes. This will be an experiment.<\/p>\n<p>They are then exempted from study programme evaluations by external  parties. In the meantime, the universities must demonstrate that they are keeping a finger on the  pulse in terms of the quality of their education. They will then no  longer be subject to external evaluations for many years. In 2017, the  first group (three universities) will be allowed to start working on this experiment. Another  three institutions will follow a year later.<\/p>\n<p> Break<\/p>\n<p>Bussemaker is consequently breaking with previous  policy. She wants to give educational institutions greater confidence  and break through the culture of fear. In the current system, separate  study programmes are reviewed by external experts every six years. Only  approved study programmes are allowed to issue bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s  degrees.<\/p>\n<p>The six universities who want to acquire this new institutional accreditation are  granted a one-year hiatus during which they do not need to devote any  time to regular educational reviews. <\/p>\n<p>Amended<\/p>\n<p>The  regular accreditation system will be amended as well. Bussemaker wants to reduce the paperwork and cut in half the amount of information that  study programmes are required to supply to obtain a stamp of approval.  The information that reviewers may and may not expect to have access to  must be more clearly specified. This is not to result in a checklist,  but in a \u2018shared understanding about what is to be evaluated and why\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>  The Minister is distressed about the fact that fearful faculties would rather be safe than sorry and consequently document everything.  She refers to one study programme with sixty files for a single  accreditation dossier and another Education and Examination Regulations  (OER) with no less than 1,100 pages. On the other hand, it is  understandable that study programmes are in a state of uncertainty:  expert panels sometime ask for too many documents when they evaluate  these programmes.
