Solution	The HBO-raad uses QlikView to present some 12 million data records on intake, outflow, results, study duration, staffing, enrolments, progress and diplomas, via a public indicators portal: cijfers.hbo-raad.nl. The first dashboards the association published were the Student Dashboards for intake, enrolments, diplomas, drop-outs, results, study duration and progress. With these dashboards the association offered its members, the press, research bodies and the ministry genuine data discovery for a variety of purposes. Thus, for example, universities could compare their progress and results with other universities per programme, per preliminary programme and using demographic characteristics. What are the results per programme? What is the average study duration? Which type of students drop out? Universities could also optimise their marketing policies using the intake dashboard. Which specific preliminary programmes receive applications? What is the background of students who have applied? The Ministry of Education is also a recipient of some of these details. For example for queries concerning staffing and the associated characteristics. Read More Log in to view content
