How To Fill A Jeep Cherokee

Kenniscrisis

In recent days, students in the Netherlands have become very active. From time to time organized some smaller or larger demonstration, there are many Facebook groups and websites calling to join the movement under the slogan " Kenniscrisis ." The reason? Budget cuts have touched not only the immigrants, as I mentioned in one of the previous posts, but also students.
yet in the Netherlands, the matter was as follows: as a student at (Dutchman or a person with permission to stay in the Netherlands) any direction, to be sure you pay for your studies around 1600 euros per year, but you have the right to so. " studiefinanciering ," or student allowance paid by the government. It has the following form:
- basisbeurs (basic subsidy) - jest bezzwrotny ("prezent") w przypadku kiedy student zakończy studia w przeciągu 10 lat. Jeżeli studia się przedłużą o kolejne lata, student musi spłacić wszystko, co od rządu otrzymał. Wysokość basisbeurs  zależy od sytuacji mieszkaniowej studenta (mieszka z rodzicami czy sam). Basisbeurs  student traci po upływie planowego czasu jego studiów, ale może dalej brać kredyt studencki, który już będzie do spłacenia.
- studenten OV-chipkaart (karta na transport publiczny) - transport za darmo w ciągu tygodnia lub w weekend (do chosen by the student), on the other days of the student discount of 40%. The student loses the card when it expires basisbeurs . If it does not return in time, pay a fine of 136 euros per month. However, if you want to keep it, ask for a loan at 0 Euro (hmm). Studenten costs OV-chipkaart student does not return when the study ends in 10 years.
- AANVULLENDE Beurs (additional allowance) - for students whose parents have low wages. It is a credit that can be later partially redeem, if not exceed the annual earnings of about 35,000 euros.
- rentedragende Lening (interest-bearing loan) - a loan which, in its entirety must be returned. It is generally low interest rates and on favorable terms.
- collegegeldkredit - a loan to pay off rentedragende Lening ;)


What is now going on with " kenniscrisis ? Well, beauty Rutte (8 years, he studied a 4-year program *)-Verhagen (student under 11 years *) wants to reduce spending on education, including higher education. Drastically. The project is as follows: from the above subsidizing students 'gift' is to be limited only to a "Bachelor". Those who want to be master and do not have money, they must take rentedragende Lening and pray about it, managed to complete their studies within 10 years. Ambitious, who necessarily want to fight for the title of doctor, would take some work on the side to be able to repay rentedragende Lening (money from them rather PhD It is not enough.) In the Netherlands, because there is no option to "jump" to the level of Masters and PhD Bachelorze doing what can be found for example in the UK (available for outstanding students.) Next: Those who do not wyrobili the studies in the scheduled time (plus 1 year "forgiven") must also pay a penalty for too many studies (for whatever reason) of 3000 euros per year and lose their OV card, and the university pays for their punishment for the same amount. This strikes particularly hard at engineering students, whose program is often very difficult and requires more time.


"Netherlands country knowledge (that is what they want to be),
ambitions in the trash (what actually happens)"


Given the current conditions under which the Dutch may have to finance their studies, the change is huge and very unfavorable for them. Many experts raise the alarm: the program of government can discourage young people to study engineering, which for the Netherlands could end badly (for example, now missing informatyków). 
Z polskiej perspektywy moglibyśmy powiedzieć, że nic złego przecież się nie dzieje. Norma - jak się nie wyrobisz w planowanym czasie swoich studiów, bierzesz płatny warunek. Powinno motywować... (?). W Holandii wzbudza to jednak powszechne oburzenie. Dlaczego? Tutaj musiałby się holenderski student wypowiedzieć.


Następna większa manifestacja, na którą również zostałam zaproszona, odbędzie się w Hadze 21 stycznia. Czy coś im to da? Czas pokaże.

* At the time when men and Verhagen Rutte yet studied, all loan was regarded as a "gift." Today, the two men are the authors of the above. changes and are committed to their implementation.
