The draft law of the Minister of education, Anja Karliczek (CDU), which is present the German press Agency in Berlin. The plans are this Friday, the topic of a hearing of associations in the Federal Ministry of education in Berlin. Critics you are not ambitious enough.

The maximum sentence is made up of three components: The basic requirement is to first of all rise to five and then to two percent.

Who was promoted should not have to fear also a life-long debt. So those should be the remainder of the debt issued, which are not able to repay the loan portion of the Bafög, despite efforts, due to the poor economic conditions within the next 20 years. Previously, you had to pay back half the money, and a maximum of 10,000 euros, in monthly Installments.

Instead of the student loans as interest-bearing Bank loans of the development Bank KfW to pay to the state, starting in the winter semester 2019/2020 as an interest-free loan ready.

reason for the Reform:

The number of Bafög-recipients has been falling for years. In the year 2017, 000 students and of 557,000 students received, according to the Federal statistical office, 225 public support - in total, about 41,000, or five percent less than the year before. As per head, but more has been paid out, increased state spending by about 70 million to 2.9 billion euros.

Five years earlier, 308.000 students and 671.000 students Bafög received. In light of this significant decline in the CDU, CSU and SPD had agreed in the coalition agreement, "to achieve by 2021 a reversal of the trend".

reactions:

The Secretary General of Deutsches Studentenwerk Achim Meyer auf der Heyde, they can imagine according to their own statements, that the Reform is actually more young people to benefit from the Bafög. "For a real trend for greater improvements are necessary," he told the German press Agency.

Meyer auf der Heyde, in particular, from his point of view to a small increase in the requirement rates criticized. The basic package should not only rise from 399 to 427 Euro, but must be between 500 and 550 Euro so that the demand will be met. In addition, the higher housing is likely to study in a lump sum, especially for beginners in the case of new lettings hardly suffice, he said. The Federal government should not depend on the increasing prosperity in a lump sum, in addition to the great bell. "Because landlords may be encouraged to take higher Rents."

Meyer auf der Heyde also criticised that the government does not want to submit your next Bafög report, as planned in the autumn, but not until 2021. On the Basis of the developments described in the case of prices and income, the exemption amounts and rates could be increased earlier, a further increase in the rates threatens now to fail. Meyer auf der Heyde welcomed, however, the planned three-stage increase in the exemption amounts.
