When we introduced the student loan system, we expected a temporary dip in the number of first-year students, and that dip should recover. I am glad that the participation of MBO and HAVO students in higher education is going well. Financial considerations are no more or no less important for MBO students than they were before. As far as that is concerned, the results are reassuring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I do worry about students with disabilities. For them, it\u2019s probably down to a combination of factors, in which the changes in social security also play a part. We need to discuss what we can do about this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will a grant need to be re-introduced for these students after all?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t anticipate that. We have to do what is necessary to ensure that this group still has access to higher education. Perhaps this can also be achieved through better guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are also fewer students benefitting from a supplementary grant and fewer students from the first generation without highly educated parents.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe population is simply becoming more educated. There are just fewer students whose parents do not have a university degree. We\u2019ve been watching this trend develop for a while. I don\u2019t want to draw any hasty conclusions; I\u2019m trying to analyse the situation very carefully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have also said that there are fewer first-year students due to the stricter access requirements at the HBO-level (universities of applied sciences). The Association of Universities of Applied Sciences disagrees: that would only partially explain the decline.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, the universities of applied sciences have done the analysis themselves. They\u2019ve gone down the wrong path if they have now come up with something else. This year, the number of first-year students fell by a good 8 per cent. Part of that decline can be explained by the <em>bow wave effect<\/em> of young people who wanted to start studying before the student loan system came in and went to study straight after their exams. Those students have already enrolled. Furthermore, the decrease is partly due to demographics, and partly due to stringent entry requirements, for example, for acceptance at teacher training colleges. And then there\u2019s still 2.6 per cent left over, probably related to the student loan system. That is in line with the predictions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/quote\" class=\"align\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t<figure data-component=\"quote-with-author\" class=\"@container\">\n\t<blockquote class=\"text-md italic @2xl:text-xl @4xl:text-2xl text-purple\">\n\t\t\u2018For years, we awarded the basic grant to parents with very high incomes.

For years, we awarded the basic grant to parents with very high incomes. I still don\u2019t see why they should get that extra money. I think it\u2019s very important that the supplementary grant has gone up, that a public transport card for younger MBO (intermediate vocational education) students has been introduced, and that we can pay more attention to the transition from MBO to HBO. It is starting to pay off. I see that the number of students dropping out in their first year seems to be decreasing. For the first time in many years, the number of part-time students is also starting to pick up. And we are going to invest in additional teachers. That\u2019s what I stand for as a social democrat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yet some people want to prove they are right: they did predict the problems, after all?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would urge everyone to look at this critically and refrain from cheap political point scoring. I see, for example, that more students from non-Western backgrounds are going on to further education: that\u2019s great. People are also worried whether students without a basic grant would still choose a multi-year master\u2019s degree. It seems that they are doing. Furthermore, and above all, everything is pointing towards a temporary dip, but I also want delve deeper into the situation to make sure that no structural problems will arise, for example, for students with disabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you not afraid that the gap between privileged and underprivileged children is getting wider?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t forget that some of the differences we see in higher education emerge much earlier: in primary and secondary education. We are trying everything there to change that; just look how we are tackling the CITO test.\u201d<\/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
