A policy document initially set out core aims – providing a broad description of the traffic education approach that should be taken – for six target groups (0-4 years old; 4-12; 12-16; 16-25; 25-60; 60+).
The Dutch Ministry of Transport subsequently ordered a document setting out concrete learning and educational goals based on those core aims, to guide and be used by both regional policy makers and developers of educational material. The document underlines that the goals were designed to be carried out by multiple entities; not only education in schools, but also at home or in social clubs.
In the context of lifelong learning, it also underlines the importance of seamless continuity between the different learning goals of different target groups.
