The Danish People\u2019s Party (DPP) has called a \u2018time out\u2019 on stimulus package negotiatons until the government provides a clear answer regarding an EU ruling that paves the way for foreign students to be awarded an education grant (SU)<\/a> in line with Danish students. This is according to Seven59.dk and b.dk.<\/p>\n

DPP leader Kristian Thulesen Dahl characterised the EU ruling, which could cost Denmark an extra DKK 400-500m extra in SU expenditure, as \u2018problematic\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wrong to sit around a negotiating table and discuss cuts for Danish students while the EU has potentially opened up the floodgates for thousands of foreign students to come here and claim a monthly allowance, even though they have a part-time job of up to eight hours a week. It\u2019s complete madness,\u201d he said, calling for new rules that would protect the SU system against the possibility of abuse.<\/p>\n

European union: Students are an asset<\/h2>\n

In a related development, the European Students\u2019 Union (ESU) says it is dismayed by the political debate in Denmark where the Liberal and Danish People\u2019s Party has used a recent judgment by the European Court of Justice as a “lame excuse to attack international students residing in the country”.<\/p>\n

“These politicians are missing the main point because this judgment is not only important for Denmark but also for all of Europe. Students of all nationalities have to know their rights when they go to another country, and this ruling says that they cannot be discriminated against because of their nationality,” says Karina Ufert, ESU’s Chairperson.<\/p>\n

The ESU and the Minister of Education Morten \u00d8stergaard of the centre-left governing coalition in Denmark both argue that international students are an asset rather than an additional cost to the welfare state.<\/p>\n

Net contributors<\/h2>\n

“It is wrong to predict beforehand that students will flock to Denmark to claim benefits and then head straight back to their national countries. A study from the Netherlands has shown that it would be sufficient if only a portion of international students stay behind for it to be economically sufficient,” says Karina Ufert of the ESU.<\/p>\n

“Most students would consider staying following their studies if they would be somehow able to contribute to the Danish society”. <\/p>\n
