Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs (DUO) [leave untranslated]
See e.g. how these two official Dutch websites handle the problem:

I would add the English translation between parentheses at first mention of this organisation and stick to the original Dutch terminology (or the abbrevation DUO) elsewhere in the text.

In fact, this approach is also followed in the following publication by DUO:
This is the form you can use to request a reduction in the monthly repayments of your student loan on the basis of a means test. DUO (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs, Education Executive Agency) will then base the assessment of how much you can repay per month on your income in 2010.
Please read the notes first.
How to submit
Submit the completed form with the relevant documentary evidence to
DUO before 1 October 2011. If you submit the form after 1 October, any
reduction in the monthly instalment will start later. The return address is
DUO, P.O. Box 50101, 9702 GA Groningen, the Netherlands.
