The four universities consider introducing a student stop if they do not get more money from the minister. The number of students arises from the pan. Dutch entrepreneurs find such a fixed quota ‘unacceptable’.
The efforts of the government and businesses to attract more students to the art, are bearing fruit. A bit too much, because TU Delft, the University of Twente, TU Eindhoven and Wageningen University say they can barely inflows to. In ten years, the number of students from 32 thousand to 53 thousand.
Stricter watch
“We may have to restrict the inflow,” said Victor van der Chijs, UT college president and chairman of the federation of the four universities in the newspaper. “That means we are going to look to stricter quality and example only take the best foreign students. Unless we get more money.
Incidentally, the Delft University of Technology offers three courses with a fixed quota to. Selection is not always necessary there: By air & amp; space technology, for example, are filled at this point 446 of the insert 480.
Intake restriction
FME employers find a fixed quota ‘unacceptable’. “This is the world upside down ‘, says president Ineke Dezentje. “The industry is desperate for well-trained technicians and the inflow is finally beter.’Ze fears that companies go abroad if they can not find good staff. “And that’s the death knell for the innovation climate in the Netherlands.
Minister Bussemaker is not going to give universities more money, she says in the AD. “I can not imagine that the universities have been surprised by the rising student numbers,” said the minister. “They knew years ago that this was coming.”
Critical minister
There really are not enough technicians, is sometimes questioned. The minister is critical. First, make sure once again that the graduate engineers in the Netherlands able to work, she says. Forty percent opt for a job in another sector and wants half of engineering students to work after studying abroad.
Also in some college technology programs proposed last year a fixed quota in because of the large number of applications. The Lower House was this incomprehensible: the Dutch economy needs scientists and engineers. Why would you curb the influx of students?
The minister now repeat what they said at the time the Court, namely that the quality of education is above everything. “If education really can not handle the influx and good education can not guarantee a fixed quota is in everyone’s interest.”
Students suffer
Jan Sinnige, chairman of the Intercity Student Consultation (ISO), finds that the student is the victim of the disagreement between the Ministry and the universities. “Quick fixes if the fixed quota is not a structural solution to this problem.
