Protest on 25 November against cuts in higher education

News - 19 November 2024 - Student News

On 25 November, from 13:00 to 15:00, a protest will take place on the Malieveld in The Hague against the government's plans for cuts in higher education. The protest will focus on the future of the higher education sector and its importance for Dutch society. The Executive Board wholeheartedly supports this action: "We too are deeply concerned about the 1 billion in cuts to higher education and science proposed by this cabinet. So make your voice heard in The Hague!" TU Delft wants to give students and staff the opportunity to participate as much as possible. To this end, a number of arrangements are in place.

  • Educational activities are taking place, unless staff take part in the protest.
  • If your lecturer is taking part in the protest, which means that a scheduled contact moment will not take place, they will inform you asap via the subject's Brightspace page. This message will also indicate how you can cover the subject matter of the cancelled contact moment on your own. The contact moment is cancelled and will not be rescheduled.
  • Make sure you catch up on the subject matter you missed.
  • Scheduled examinations will take place.
  • You are not required to be present on 25 November, except in case of patient care, compulsory practical sessions, tests and classes that go through on the day and are marked as compulsory.
