The German government has officially announced a reform package for its Bafög student financial aid programme. According to The Local, while the overhaul has been agreed upon, students will have to wait longer than originally promised to receive the proposed increases in funding.
The scheduled changes include a significant uplift in support levels for students. However, these adjustments are now slated for implementation in the summer of 2027 rather than an earlier date. The government has not provided a revised timeline for the rollout of the broader support measures mentioned in the reform agreement.
