Press release: Structural reform instead of BAföG cuts!

The General Student Committee (AStA) of the so-called Freie Universität Berlin sharply criticizes the cuts of 440 million euros in the student BAföG decided by the Bundestag.

Last week, the Bundestag passed cuts in the budget for university student's BAföG by around 24 percent and for high school student's BAföG by around 28 percent with the government's draft for the 2024 federal budget. This was justified by Finance Minister Christian Lindner with the calculated real funding volume in 2024.
