The Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope: 
Experience with schools, training of students
and future prospects
yHow to implement it

qContinued operation of the telescope. The operation and maintenance of the telescope must be continued beyond 2003.  Integrating the JKT in METEOR could be a good excuse to avoid the shut down but financial support must be provided. This support could be shared with other projects interested in keeping the JKT open (NEOs? for instance). Cooperation effort required.
q 
qApproved fixed allocation of observing time for schools, training of teachers and service observations every semester (the so-called ‘school time’). Allocating time committee members from METEOR.
q
qSchool trips financed by the schools themselves. Little support provided by METEOR.
q 
qAstronomy competitions and prizes financed by METEOR however.
