Harm Jan Beertema (born 9 March 1952) is a Dutch politician and former educator. He has been a member of the House of Representatives for the Party for Freedom since 17 June 2010. He focuses on matters of primary, special, secondary and vocational education as well as teachers policy. He was a member of the States of South Holland from 17 March 2011 until 15 July 2011.[1]

Retirement from House of Representatives

Beertema did not stand in the Dutch general election of November 2023. He had been placed 16th on the list of Party for Freedom candidates, and considered this too low given his experience in the party, and turned the option down. During the coalition forming process, he questioned the ability of his party to govern, given its representatives' lack of experience.[2]
