College voor Toetsen en Examens

The College voor Toetsen en Examens (CvTE) is the Dutch quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation charged with administering the exams for Dutch secondary education institutions; those exams are standardised nationwide. Named College voor Examens before 2014-08-01, the institution was founded by legislative act in 2009,^[1] and involved a merger of two state-controlled examination organisations. The organisation was severely criticized in 2013 following widespread displeasure with the exams for Dutch language and literature.^[2][3]
