摘要:The collaboration of Higher education (HE) and Secondary education (SE) should directly relate to the positioning of these institutions in the emerging knowledge society to improve the likelihood that students will have a successful career.The demands of this society influence largely the way we work,learn and socialize.The Delft University of Technology (TUD) has developed some ‘connection programs'to be better able to deal with these demands.One program concerns the preparation and support of SE students for their university career,which includes the collaboration between the SE and HE staff.The second is a Master in Science Education or Science Communication focusing on the technical theoretical insights and the theory of education or communication.The TUD has made some steps,but needs,as an enterprising university,to arrange for the ongoing changes and to continuously reflect on the positioning of this institution.
