incentivise students to graduate faster. Estimates showing the state can save DKK1.2 billion if the average student graduates within five and a half years, is why the reform needs to proceed, \u00d8stergaard asserts in a written statement to parliament.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe government\u2019s ambition to save DKK2 billion from the student grant budget, is not unreasonable, if more than half that amount can be raised by halving the delay with which students graduate, which is currently a year\u00ab, the minister said to dr.dk. <\/p>\n<p>The government expects to raise DKK2 billion overall from SU reform. The estimate of DKK1.2 billion is made by taking into account that SU will be dispensed to fewer students, and students which graduate faster are likely to enter the job market, and therefore start paying taxes sooner. <\/p>\n<h2>Looking at the bigger picture<\/h2>\n<p>A part of the expected savings will still likely come from cuts in SU, however, \u00d8stergaard admitted to Berlinske last Friday. One rumored solution, which is <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/student-protest-sit-rector-s-office\" target=\"_blank\">quite controversial amongst students<\/a>, involves cutting SU after 5 years, though so far officials have refused to comment on specifics.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI will not comment on specific suggestions. The question of how to make students complete their education within the regular time, will be the main focus of the reform\u00ab, \u00d8stergaard tells dr.dk. <\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThose figures demonstrate why the SU- and education-system need to be examined closely. The money can be used to educate more people, spur growth, or improve the welfare system. This is why students need to consider looking at the bigger picture and realising they also have a responsibility to society.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know about news and events happening in Copenhagen by <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">signing up for the University Post\u2019s weekly newsletter here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":48,"name":"Politics","slug":"politics","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":48,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1035,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11488,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13943"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34902,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13943\/revisions\/34902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
