Irene van Harten

What is your ambition for appropriate education?
“It is my ambition that as many children as possible grow up together in as normal a way as possible and learn with and from each other. And that we work together for inclusion, because to achieve more inclusion we desperately need each other!”

What else can people know you from?
“Almost my entire career has been in primary education in Haaglanden. In 2002 I started as a teacher in Westland and two years later as a teacher in The Hague. In 2009, I became principal of the Zonnestraal. Then, in 2017, I made the transition to the position of Manager Team & Work Areas at SPPOH and the rest is history.”

Name a fun fact about yourself?
“I am quite fanatical and really want to win a game or match! Even when I play field hockey – which I used to do quite nicely, but I notice that the years are starting to count…”
