Integration and naturalisation
Integrationis a common term for the collaboration and coexistence of ethnic groups in society. Approximately 10 percent of the Dutch population belongs to a minority. The goal of integration policy is a society in which everyone is involved and in which people actively and fully fledged all be treated in the same way. Equal treatment is an important starting point of integration policies. 
Inburgering wil zeggen dat immigranten die langdurig in Nederland komen wonen de taal spreken, op de hoogte zijn van de Nederlandse samenleving en een aantal belangrijke normen en waarden kennen. De Nederlandse overheid beschouwt inburgering als een voorwaarde om te kunnen integreren. De eisen voor inburgering zijn vastgelegd in de Wet Inburgering. Het Deltaplan inburgering moet de kwaliteit van de inburgering verbeteren en meer mensen in laten burgeren.
Integration means that immigrants who come to live long-term in the Netherlands speaking language, are aware of the Dutch society and a number of important standards and values. The Dutch Government regards integration as a prerequisite to be able to integrate. The requirements for naturalisation are laid down in the immigrant integration Act. The Delta plan integration should improve the quality of the integration and naturalization let more people in.
New Immigrant Integration Act
With effect from 1 January 2007 is the new immigrant integration Act entered into force.
That concludes the immigrant integration Act (WIN) and the various arrangements earlier migrants lapse. To improve the integration of immigrants in the new law provides for both old-as a result lighting newcomers. Someone has just fulfilled his civic integration duty as the civic integration exam with success is made.
Inburgeringsplichtingen are:
- All non-Dutch (born outside the EU/EEA) from 16 to 65 years of age who:

Electronic practice exam
The Practice exam is done Electronically through the computer. During the examination, the candidate receives a number of practical situations on the computer screen to see. For example, someone who wants to join the library, or someone who has a conversation with his boss at work. This practice situations hear questions. Hear more questions one practice situation than in the other. The exam is therefore not always long.
Most exams have 43 questions. It also comes less that an exam questions. To get the chance to take the exam is not here by larger or smaller. The candidate must answer correctly at least 73% of the questions to succeed. He gets 60 minutes to make the time to take the exam. If the candidate is busy with the exam he sees on the computer screen exactly how many questions he must make and how many questions he has already answered.
The practical examination consists of two parts. The first part consists of questions that everyone gets. These are questions about how things go in Netherlands. The second part consists of questions about Work or OGO . These two topics we call profiles. Participants get on school lesson in one of these profiles.
Knowledge of Dutch society (KNS)
The exam is done through the computer. During the examination, the candidate receives a number of movies to see. KNS counts 8 different topics, which are reflected in the movies. These topics are: work and income, manners values and standards, living, health and healthcare, history and geography, bodies, State establishment and the rule of law, education and upbringing. Hear about these topics at that movies questions. In to one movie hear more questions than at the other. Most exams have 43 questions. It can also prevent a exam what less questions. To get the chance to take the exam is not here by larger or smaller, the candidate must namelyminimum 62% of questions answered correctly. The candidate has 45 minutes to make the time to take the exam.
At the decentralised the learner can choose between section:
- Creating a portfolio collecting evidence and a panel conversation = 20.
- Assessments = 4 keys.
- Combination portfolio and practice proofs and keys = 10 2 assessments.
If the participant has passed all the parts he gets the integration degree.
Portfolio profile work and OGO
The profile work is focused on workers and jobseekers and outflow has three directions:
- Technique;
- Care and welfare;
- Trade and services.
The profile OGO stands for Education Health and education and is consistent with educators of children.
The municipality determined on the basis of data and an intake interview or the participant must follow the profile work or OGO.
There are now also introduced two new profiles, namely social orientation and entrepreneurship. The NPC in hoogezand gives no lesson in these profiles, these two profiles will therefore not be explained.
Assessments
The assessments include practice situations in which the inburgeringsplichtige must show that he can perform certain language acts. The assessments are, as it were, imitations of reality: there is one situation in which re-enacted might occur in everyday life, also called a roleplaying game called.
The key is constructed in such a way that the candidate by performing a series of acts comes to a solution of the situation which is outlined in the toetsboekje. It appealed to both oral (interviews) as written (reading and writing) skills. In the toetsboekje the situation is described and the tasks that the applicant must carry out.
Panel Discussion
Before the panel discussion takes place, make a designated exam setting the portfolio on completeness. The control is not focused on language level.
The participant must submit a portfolio that contains at least 20 proofs of exported conversation – and write situations within the different critical practice situations as described in the manual portfolio. If the portfolio is approved then the participant may participate in the panel discussion. During the panel discussion the examiner may decide which prove to be queried.
In the panel discussion is the oral and written language skills assessed in the functional context of the portfolio securities. The panel discussion will evaluate the language skills of the applicant within the domains citizenship, OGO or work. Are there critical practice situations described for each domain.
The panel discussion for citizenship is based on evidence from the portfolio of situations within the Dutch society. Some examples of situations that can appear here are: the passing of changes in personal data at the municipality, opening a bank account, enroll in a training, a conversation in a chat with the Housing Association, neighbors, etc.
The panel discussion for OGO is aimed at participants who have collected evidence within situations related to Education, health and education. Here are some examples that may occur: a conversation at school, a conversation with the family doctor, de-register register with an association, etc.
The panel discussion for work is aimed at participants who have collected evidence for work. The domain work is divided into ' General ' and ' work ' specific work.
The situations that fall under general work, are situations where anyone who works with it may have to do. The situations that fall specifically under work are focused on three specific sectors, namely technique, care and welfare and trade and services.
