Middelbaar Economisch en Administratief Onderwijs or MEAO[1] is a former type of further education in the Netherlands, providing vocational instruction and training in economic and administrative subjects, preparing students for office and trade jobs (secretary, administrator, accounts assistant, etc.) or higher business education. Courses generally took two to four years, although some education establishments offered accelerated programmes enabling students to obtain the qualification in one year.[2][3]

The name MEAO was introduced in the Dutch education system through the education act ("Mammoth Law") of 1963 (which took effect in 1968),[4] and was abolished in 1996 after the education law reforms of 1995,[5] when the education type was integrated into Middelbaar Beroepsonderwijs (MBO).[6]
