Leading the Charge: Karin Verheijen’s Fight Against Literacy Decline

Published

on

Revitalizing Dutch Education with Innovative Learning Techniques developed by L. Ron Hubbard

In a captivating chapter of Scientology Network’s VOICES FOR HUMANITY series, viewers meet Karin Verheijen, a forward-thinking educator who is making waves in the Netherlands with her groundbreaking methods for promoting literacy. The show airs every Wednesday at 8 pm ET / PT. 

In the past, the Netherlands has been known for having plenty of people who can read and write well. Lately, there has been a worrying drop in those numbers, with about 2.5 million Dutch people now struggling with reading and writing skills.

Findings from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022 report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revealed ongoing challenges in literacy across Europe. The report indicated that approximately 23% of 15-year-old students in OECD countries did not reach the baseline level of proficiency in reading. Within the European Union, the percentage of low achievers in reading has remained relatively stable, highlighting persistent issues in literacy education (OECD, 2022). These statistics emphasize the importance of innovative educational strategies and literacy programs, such as those implemented by educators like Karin Verheijen in the Netherlands, to address and improve reading comprehension and literacy rates across the continent.

Karine Verheijden is not one who back down from a challenge. She grew up on a farm, in the south of Holland, where she was taught to just memorize things without really understanding them, something she was determined to change. 

Motivated by her desire to make a difference in the lives of others,​ Verheijen started off by choosing a nursing career​. However, it wasn’t until she saw how effective Study Technology​ —created by Scientology Founder L Ron Hubbard​—was for her daughters, that she decided to switch gears and pursue teaching instead​. Seeing the progress her daughters made academically using Study Technology made her recognize the opportunity it presented to combat the declining literacy rates in her country​. 

Starting as a tutoring project in her flat and expanding into a network of educational centres across the Netherlands is the journey that Verheijen embarked on with Karin Bijles Centrum. Being both the Founder and Operational Director of this initiative has enabled her to support than 2600 students and attain a prestigious top percentile ranking nationally for her centers. Her efforts not only focus on empowering individuals through education but also aim to enhance literacy levels, in the country. 

The Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018. Since launching, the Scientology Network has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology and Founder L. Ron Hubbard, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization, and presenting its social betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide. The network also showcases documentaries by independent filmmakers who represent a cross-section of cultures and faiths, but share a common purpose of uplifting communities. Scientology Network’s innovative content has been recognized with more than 125 industry awards, including Tellys, Communitas, and Hermes Creative Awards.

Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church’s global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse and can be streamed at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.
