Bottlenecks: duration of the ride EntiteitAantal ritten Aantal leerlingen Ritten > 220 min. Leerlingen > 220 min. % leerlingen Antwerpen % Vlaams- Brabant % Limburg % Oost- Vlaanderen % West- Vlaanderen % TOTAAL % Early start (6h- 6,30h) – late at home (18h h)

Bottlenecks: supervisors 1 supervisor for children No time for support or care Low educational background  No budget  Training only organized on District level  No obligation to follow trainingcourses What happens when there are conflicts?  No body for mediation: need for coordination

Bottlenecks: communication What about communication about ‘little, daily concerns’? Supervisors are unaware about specific situation of children Communication between busdriver and children is problematic  Many shifts of drivers  Some of the drivers don’t speak Dutch Rules are inapproriate for children  No food – no drinks – no games

Recommendantions (1) Maximum duration of busride 2 hours Making bus together:  Rules too strongly from adult perspective  Rules too little account for specificity of group of children Train the supervisors  Structural imbedded training  Greater attention for how to deal with children (with disabilities) More supervision op larger buses

Recommendations (2) Improve communication parents – supervisors  Central contact at school  Central contact at bus company Provide a good range of schools for special education + put more effort in implementing inclusive education Provide special care for disadvantaged children

CRUNCH (Children’s Rights Lunch) Lunch  MPs, manager of administration (Education), advisers of minister of Education and minister of Mobility, manager of buscampany, representatives of schools Movie of boy on his daily bustrip (5 min) Willingness to change policy  New rules on buses (allow to drink)  Better training of supervisors and busdrivers  Renewal of old buses  New computerprogram to organise bus rides  Scientific study how to deal with mobility
