Minister of Social Affairs Dr. Magnus Jung visits Studierendenwerk Saarland
Dr. Magnus Jung, Saarland’s Minister of Labour, Social Affairs, Women and Health, paid a visit to the Saarland Student Union. The Minister personally handed over the grant notification for €1,561,000 for the current year, which ensures financial support for student education.
The visit focused on the further development of educational support. Dr. Jung took the time to discuss improvements to BAföG with the experts from the Studierendenwerk. In particular, they discussed ways of speeding up and simplifying the BAföG process through digitalization and reducing bureaucracy.
One concrete result of the meeting is the definition of a timetable for the development of a future roadmap by the Ministry and the Studierendenwerk. This should contain a clear strategy for the modernization of education funding and thus pave the way for a more efficient and user-friendly BAföG system.
Studierendenwerk Saarland remains committed to making student finance as uncomplicated and accessible as possible for all students.
