The Media and Information Services Industry continues on its journey of transformation. No facet of this
industry can any longer operate without being enabled by technology. The role of technology in making
media relevant to customers has never been as pervasive and impactful as it is today. Depending upon
the sectors within our industry, lines have become quite blurry between what is "content or data" and
what is "software".

In Holland, they have a simple marking system where a 6/10 is called a "voldoende", or "satisfactory".
And if your child is scoring a "voldoende" across the board, then it is considered fine. If your child is
scoring 7 or 8/10, then your child is doing exceptionally well. In fact, at my son's two schools and
universities, a 9/10 was extremely rare, but a 10/10 was unheard of - there was a rumor going around
that someone scored a 10, but it could have been a myth.
