The Dutch Parliament would like to accommodate students living away from home a little more for inflation than education minister Robbert Dijkgraaf wants, as became apparent yesterday during the budget debate. He was also asked to more quickly constrain the influx of international students.<\/p>\n

From now on, students can use the library until midnight every day of the week.<\/span><\/p>

The new basic grant for students living away from home will be temporarily increased by 165 euros next academic year, because of skyrocketing inflation. Government parties CDA and D66 do not think this is enough and want<\/a> the inflation allowance to apply for three years, rather than one.<\/p>\n

The proposal is expected to have broad support. The opposition was apparently surprised and barely addressed it. Opposition parties mainly focused on the \u2018inadequate\u2019 compensation for students who never received a basic grant, and the rising interest rates on student debt.<\/p>\n\n\t
