Bafög reform: Ministry of Education cannot yet assess the impact of the bill. Not knowing how many additional students the proposed reform will reach is "unprofessional and an impudence towards the students," says Bundestag member Nicole Gohlke.
The University Rectors' Conference and the German Student Union had previously announced that the planned changes contained some positive aspects, but failed to provide a fundamental structural reform. The coalition's first promise to significantly increase the BaföG rates has already been withdrawn.
