I propose some amendments to the amendment that the government is adopting this year (or to future amendments).
- Study programmes for which graduates cannot expect to be employed at the time of enrolment and in the medium term should be offered only on an exceptional basis. In the case of study programmes where there is a labour shortage, both full-time and part-time study should be introduced, insofar as the latter is not advertised. Scholarship policy could also be adapted to employability;
- In order to limit fictitious enrolments, a person benefiting from student status could be charged tuition fees at the end of the academic year (retrospectively) if certain conditions are imposed, e.g. non-attendance of lectures/exercises in e.g. at least 30%, if the person has not taken any exams during the academic year, etc;
- Additional restrictions on student work - e.g. time-limited, no overtime, no work during the exam period, no work of certain types by the student - freelance, highly professional work (other than assistantships).
 
Reasoning:
Everyone should have one chance in life to study whatever they wish free of charge, but if, in the light of the past years and the future, at least in the medium term, no employment can be expected in the chosen field of study, such studies should be carried out on a fee-paying basis. This is intended both to save money in higher education and to reduce the number of unemployable staff at the Employment Service.
Fictitious enrolments and student work by fictitiously enrolled students represent an unjustified drain on public resources and (due to lower taxation and greater flexibility) unfair competition on the labour market, which should be curbed more thoroughly than in previous years. Fictitious enrolments could be curbed by introducing (retrospective) tuition fees in case of non-attendance and non-examination, while student work could be curbed by additional conditions under which student work would be allowed.
