Livelihood and well-being at stake – how will the position of students deteriorate with government budget proposal?
In recent weeks, university takeovers have put a spotlight on the decisions of the Orpo Government’s first budget session to cut housing allowance and freeze the index of student financial aid. AYY’s Social Policy Specialist Tiina Pajukari explains in her blog post why cuts on students are unsustainable and answers frequently asked questions on discussion boards and comment fields regarding student income.
