For most students, this means that, instead of paying \u20ac2,168, their studies for that year will come to just \u20ac1,084.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Q&amp;A<\/h2><p>Initially, first-year students were not included in this scheme, as they would only have paid half the usual rate anyway. The scheme is also intended to compensate for delayed studies, which would not have affected first-years.<\/p>\n<p>However, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijksoverheid.nl\/ministeries\/ministerie-van-onderwijs-cultuur-en-wetenschap\/documenten\/publicaties\/2021\/03\/15\/qa-plannen-kabinet-korting-collegegeld-hoger-onderwijs\">new Q&amp;A<\/a> published by the ministry tells a different story. Next year \u2013 and only for that year \u2013 the statutory tuition fees will be reduced to \u20ac1,084. As first-years already pay half the statutory rate, they will pay just \u20ac542.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unknown to LSVb<\/h2><p>\u201cOh, I didn\u2019t know that\u201d, said Chairperson of the Dutch Student Union (LSVb), Lyle Muns, who welcomed the decision. \u201cThe ministry had given me a different message, but this is good news. Those first-years still have a lot of time ahead of them to grow their student loans, so this will be a real help. And the coronavirus crisis has had a huge impact on them, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson from the ministry was keen to stress that this is not a new decision, but rather an expression of the existing desire to halve students\u2019 tuition fees for the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>There had indeed been an earlier review of whether first-year students (who always pay half price) could be excluded from the scheme, but that would have been difficult in practice, and the ministry also believes that it is fair to include first-years in the discount.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">100 million euros<\/h2><p>This decision will be worth between 85 million and 100 million euros, depending on how many first-year students there are. Last year, 65,000 first-year students began their studies at university and 119,000 started at universities of applied sciences, but those numbers were unusually high.<\/p>\n<p>It is not only first-years who will pay half of the already-halved rate: the same applies to second-year students in teacher training programmes, who will also pay just \u20ac542 for the coming academic year.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-Master\u2019s students starting a bridging programme between their Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s degree programmes will also be better off, as they will pay no more than the statutory rate of \u20ac1,084. Their fees may even be lower, at the discretion of their institute of higher education.<\/p>\n<p>The reduction in tuition fees is a one-off scheme: students will only be eligible to pay this low rate for the 2021\/2022 academic year.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">De redactie<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div
