Governments are continuously working to improve services for citizens and businesses. In addition to registering data only once, secure and effective information exchange between governments is essential. Digikoppeling enables government organizations to exchange information easily, consistently, securely, and reliably. For the education sector, Edukoppeling was introduced as a variant of [Digikoppeling](https://www.logius.nl/domeinen/gegevensuitwisseling/digikoppeling), tailored to education-specific scenarios. How can organizations in the education sector exchange (confidential) data consistently using this standard? How can we verify the identity of the parties involved in exchanging data about students? Where does Edukoppeling fully align with Digikoppeling, and where are additions or adjustments necessary? These are the central questions addressed by the working group managing Edukoppeling.
