Wijziging van de Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek in verband met het schrappen van de grondslag voor kwaliteitsbekostiging in het hoger onderwijs

This Dutch bill amends the Higher Education and Research Act (Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek) to remove the legal basis for quality-based funding in Dutch higher education. The proposal is considered in the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament. Based on the title alone, it would change how the government links public funding to the quality of educational programmes. Universities and universities of applied sciences receiving public funding would be directly affected, as would students and staff who depend on how institutions are financed. The exact scope of the changes is not clear from the metadata alone and would need to be checked against the full bill text.
