My proposal is to limit student work along the lines of successful European countries (Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland...).  I think it is already clear to everyone that the way things are now does not lead to a better future. At least for students!
It has been said a thousand times that student services in this country are unique in Europe. We have a problem of employing graduates because there are simply too many of them, we have a problem of employing older people because they are being replaced by students, we have too many students and a low quality of studies. All of this is already very much in the public eye, but nothing is happening.
When you go into a shop, you see a lot of employees wearing 'student' badges, and in restaurants, the same is true, and the same is true for highly specialised professions. Take architects, for example, where there are many more mistakes in the plans than there used to be. They only employ the owners, and then a series of students and people on contracts. They have virtually no employment.
It is important to understand that this way of doing things does not lead to increased prosperity and does not lead to increased competitiveness! I would like to emphasise this last point, because many people think that cheap labour means greater competitiveness, but in fact it does not. Neither do insecure jobs through various types of contract (copyright, rent, etc.) increase it. Only a person who has a secure job will be able to create something. Not just for the company, which benefits from lower costs. And that is what will drive the economy, so that he can buy a house, start a family, start a business, pay pension contributions, taxes, etc. The student contributes nothing to that.
The average length of studies is alarmingly long compared to other countries. Mainly because of student work. Instead of completing studies as early as possible, they are dragged out by working through referrals, because the chances of getting a job are very low. It is a vicious circle and it must be broken once! It will be painful at the beginning, but the effects will be noticeable quite quickly.
In fact, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. My suggestion is that the German system be studied and implemented accordingly.
The main guidelines are:
a) limiting the number of hours a student can take (so that he/she can still study smoothly - the length of studies here is alarmingly long!). In Germany it is 20h/week or the corresponding number of hours per year - he can also work in one piece, say during study holidays he can work full time, but as long as he does not meet the annual quota of hours.
b) earnings limit, in Germany €400/month or the corresponding amount per year, similar to the above point. If the student earns more than this, he/she is obliged to pay for his/her own health insurance, tuition fees, etc. The proposal is to reduce the German amount accordingly, in relation to the Slovenian average salary, which is about two and a half times less than the German one.
Conditions a and b must be mutually fulfilled.
c) setting a minimum tariff for student work (as the minimum wage is set).
 
Competitiveness and prosperity are not enhanced by overtime, but by relatively secure or regulated employment, so that people, especially young people, can create, take out loans, pay taxes, contributions, VAT... in short, so that they can spend! Students have a responsibility to study hard and then contribute to wider social welfare, not to provide cheap labour for companies.
I am convinced that the savings in this area are enormous. It is necessary to calculate the cost to the state of extended study time, fictitious enrolments and the training of staff who do not contribute to social welfare later on. All this is paid for by active citizens.
Is Slovenia such a rich country that it can educate highly educated people who will outsource their working potential abroad instead of at home?
