Summary/Abstract: Implementation of an effective integration policy is important not only for the member countries’ stability and coherency but also for the European Union as a whole. Therefore the intercultural context of educational policy is currently, in times of increased migration, especially significant and should be a global priority. The Netherlands is an example of a country thath as undoubtedly failed in the integration field. In spite of educational programmes assumingly evolving in a proper direction the accepted multicultural society model has not in the end brought about the expected benefits. The article points at the conception changes in the Dutch educational policy, its intercultural character and the changes which have been made throughout the last decades.
