Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaten van het Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap (VIII) voor het jaar 2019

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure to adopt the 2019 budget statements (begrotingsstaten) for the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, listed as chapter VIII of the national budget. Budget statements set out the planned spending and income for each policy area of a ministry for the year. Adopting them gives the ministry legal authority to spend funds on its programmes. The procedure mainly affects the ministry itself, along with schools, universities, research institutions, cultural organisations and the students and citizens who rely on their funding. The exact allocations are set out in the full budget document, which this metadata summary does not include.
