Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van het Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap (VIII) voor het jaar 2014

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure to adopt the budget estimates (begrotingsstaten) of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (chapter VIII) for the year 2014. Such budget statements set out the planned spending and income for each policy area the ministry is responsible for, and parliament's approval gives the government legal authority to spend these funds. The budget covers the ministry's responsibilities for education, culture and science policy in the Netherlands. Schools, universities, cultural institutions, researchers and students are indirectly affected by the allocations, though the exact impact depends on the detailed figures in the full budget document, which this summary does not cover.
