Digital annual reporting in education: submission via XBRL Education Portal
Published on 1 November 2025
Educational institutions are required to submit their annual accounts digitally via DUO's XBRL Education Portal. For financial year 2025, the NT20 OCW taxonomy applies. In addition to the financial statements and management report, policy information must also be submitted.
Digital submission of annual accounts is handled via DUO's XBRL Education Portal. For financial year 2025, the report 'OCW Annual Accountability 2025' applies with the accompanying NT20 OCW 20260218 taxonomy. Boards in the PO, VO and MBO sectors must also submit the 'OCW Policy Information 2025' report.
What must be submitted?
Pursuant to the Regulation on Annual Reporting in Education (RJO), the annual report comprises the financial statements, the management report, and other information (including the auditor's report). All components must be submitted via the XBRL portal. Submission deadlines vary by sector and are set out in the RJO.
XBRL submission considerations
Institutions should verify in good time that their software systems comply with the NT20 taxonomy. DUO provides support via xbrl@duo.nl and the Education Information Centre. Incorrect or incomplete submission may lead to delays in funding processing and additional queries from DUO or the Inspectorate of Education.
