Dutch term or phrase: kennis gericht onderwijs

In a list of achievements a scientist (or philosopher or mathmetican, etc.) must have to be included in a site:

"een markante bijdrage tot op verspreiding van kennis gericht onderwijs.
Dit laatste impliceert bijvoorbeeld dat rekenmeesters of docenten filosofie uit de tijd van de Republiek ook opgenomen zullen worden."

I've gotten no further than 'knowledge-based education'. Is there another term?

op verspreiding van kennis gericht onderwijs teaching for knowledge transfer

Explanation:
Olly, I read it not as 'kennisgericht onderwijs' but rather 'onderwijs gericht op verspreiding van kennis'. This refers to the concept of teaching a man to fish rather than giving a man a fish (but not only will he eat for life, he will be able to pass his newly found skills onto others, who will also eat for life and also pass on their skills, ....). Or 'teaching for transfer'.
