PHILIPSBURG--Mayor of Groningen Peter Rehwinkel has pledged his full support for whatever St. Maarten could work out in terms of collaboration with the Hanze Hogeschool in Groningen.
He made this pledge Thursday when he met with Education Minister Dr. Rhoda Arrindell during her visit to the school.
Hanze Hogeschool is an international school with some 2,500 international students from about 70 countries. Arrindell seized the opportunity to also visit St. Maarten students in Groningen to see how they were settling in, especially where it concerned their accommodation. She urged them to make the best of their stay, and encouraged them to settle down quickly so they could focus on the most important aspect of their being in Holland, which is their studies.
The Minister and her delegation also met with the DOU, the executing arm of the Dutch Ministry of Education, which is responsible for study financing among several other matters.
The minister was accompanied at these meetings by her Policy Advisor Calvin Mardenbrough, St. Maarten Student Support Services (S4) Director Marva Richardson and Head of Study Financing Antonio Aventurin.
