Student grants in danger
Ministers are considering scrapping the current system of student grants to reduce government spending, the Algemeen Dagblad reports.
The government has plans to abolish student grants and student travel cards, which would save 800 million euro and 200 million euro a year respectively.
The student travel card, which gives students the right to travel free on public transport either on weekdays or at weekends, is also in danger. It may be replaced by a discount card.
