The EU court ruled that this should be extended to all EU citizens studying in Denmark, raising fears that this could ruin the Danish education system.<\/p>\n<p>The politicians, who debated at Europahuset <em>(Danish for &#8216;the Europe House&#8217;)<\/em> Thursday 19 September, weren&#8217;t too concerned: EU representatives Bendt Bendtsen of the Conservative People&#8217;s Party and Ole Christensen of the Social Democrats, and SU-spokesperson Mads R\u00f8rvig of Venstre, the Liberal Party of Denmark, didn&#8217;t think that many international students would qualify for SU in Denmark. <\/p>\n<h2>Educating for work<\/h2>\n<p>Instead, they were concerned with the SU system itself.<\/p>\n<p>Bendt Bendtsen suggested that the amount of SU should vary from subject to subject. He thinks people should take degrees that are most likely to lead to a job in the future, and that SU should reflect this.<\/p>\n<p>Ole Christensen protested: &#8220;Education is for life, not just work,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Loans could replace grants<\/h2>\n<p>Mads R\u00f8rvig would like to see a new SU reform within the decade, and thought that &#8220;Danish students are over-privileged,&#8221;. He doesn&#8217;t see the need for SU to last for six years, and wants reforms to encourage students to complete their degrees in less time.<\/p>\n<p>If the SU system isn&#8217;t to collapse as a result of the EU court ruling, it could be changed from a grant to a loan, Bendt Bendtsen suggested. This could then be paid back in the form of a tax during the first six years after completing a degree.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In this way the degree is ultimately paid for, but it doesn&#8217;t favour any particular social group as paying tuition fees upfront would.
