World War II veterans watched military aircraft fly over a central Dutch town Monday as the Netherlands marked the 80th anniversary of its liberation by Allied troops from Nazi German occupation.
Festivities in Wageningen centered on a square outside the Hotel de Wereld, where German top brass signed papers on 5 May, 1945, that formally ended the brutal five-year occupation as the war drew to a close across Europe.
A small group of veterans, their chests decorated with medals and legs covered in blankets, sat on the front row watching the ceremony. They were given a standing ovation as they arrived.
Germany finally surrendered on 8 May, now known as Victory in Europe Day.
Liberation Day in the Netherlands is celebrated on 8 May, a day after the country observes two minutes of silence to honour its war dead.
Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans used the occasion to call for renewed efforts to nurture peace.

Sorry state of education
The National Education Policy 2020 rightly aims to introduce vocational education at all levels, by integrating vocational education into mainstream education. However, implementation of NEP 2020 seems to be running far behind schedule; NEP had envisaged that by 2025, at least half of the students would have vocational exposure, through school and higher education. The problem in implementation of NEP appears to be of finance and resolve; the NEP document requires that 6 per cent of GDP be spent on education, while we are spending less than half that
