Wijziging van onder meer de Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek en de Wet studiefinanciering 2000 in verband met het intrekken van de langstudeerdersmaatregel
This Dutch bill amends the Higher Education and Research Act (WHW) and the Student Finance Act 2000 to withdraw the so-called 'langstudeerdersmaatregel', a measure that penalised students who remained enrolled in higher education well beyond the standard study period. The bill is being considered by the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch Parliament. Based on the title only, it would remove that penalty from the law. The change would mainly affect students in Dutch universities and universities of applied sciences who have been enrolled for longer than the nominal study duration, and who would have faced higher tuition or reduced student finance under the existing rules. Universities and the national student finance agency (DUO) would also need to apply the revised rules. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
