Abstract: Schools start new interventions one after the other to improve the quality of their education. Sustaining these interventions has proven to be a challenge. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively measure the degree of sustainability of a data use intervention, implemented in secondary education in The Netherlands between 2009-2016. Sustainability is defined, before a telephonic survey was conducted to measure sustainability of the method and the underlying goals of the intervention. Data were ordered in two ways: as general data and plotted in radar charts by clustering of schools in categories of sustainability. The charts gave more insights in sustainability of the intervention and is therefore a good starting point for further research and promoting sustainability in practice.
