For a substantial upgrade of BAföG
20 June 2024
The majority of the WIPR also thinks that BAföG payments are too low in view of the sharp rise in the cost of living. Unfortunately, the recently adopted reforms of the BAföG do not lead to any substantial improvement (cf. the statement of the Deutsches Studierendenwerk on the occasion of the expert hearing in the German Bundestag).
The WIPR therefore supports the claims made by student associations for an increase in BAföG that meets the challenges and an expansion of the group of beneficiaries. In this context, we refer to a nationwide day of action on June 28, 2024, during which a cross-university demonstration will take place in Hamburg from 4 p.m. from Dammtor and Berliner Tor.
