234 Hanna de Jong-Markus (Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, 1987) was raised in a family where education and theology were important. In 2005 she completed secondary education at ‘Reggesteyn’ in Nijverdal. In 2009 she obtained her Bachelor of Social Sciences degree in Educational Sciences from Utrecht University. In the same year, she also obtained her Bachelor of Education in teaching Dutch (teaching qualification for secondary and postsecondary vocational education) at Driestar Christian University for Teacher Education (Gouda). Because she wanted to deepen her knowledge of the questions surrounding education and worldview, she chose to study a Master’s programme in Religious Education at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. After an internship at the Dutch Education Council (Onderwijsraad) where she was mainly involved in advice on the Freedom of Education (Artikel 23 Grondwet in maatschappelijk perspectief, 2012), she obtained her Master of Arts degree in 2011. Since 2011, Hanna has beenworking at Driestar ChristianUniversity for Teacher Education (DCU) in various positions in the fields of policy, teacher education, educational advice and research. She is currently involved as a lecturer in several educational Master’s programmes. These Master’s programmes are provided by DCU in cooperation with other teacher education institutes that share an interest in value-driven teaching (Radiant lerarenopleidingen). Furthermore, she is involved as senior researcher in an extensive research project on Religious Education in Dutch public primary schools (PC GVO) and she provides educational advice on strengthening citizenship education. Since 2013, Hanna has conducted her PhD research at the Protestant Theological University Amsterdam (Practical Theology Department), the Research Centre of Youth, Church and Culture (OJKC, PThU) and DCU. In 2016, she was able to work on her research at the National Institute for Christian Education Research (Canterbury Christ Church University, United Kingdom) thanks to a staff exchange project in the Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission.
