In total, about 200 students have been affected. Among them Maeva Van Muylders, who is following the graduate degree in social work: “An hour before class started yesterday, we were told that we cannot continue our training next year,” she says in Start je dag. “The full-time program normally takes 2 years, the part-time 3 years. I had been looking for suitable training for a long time and this felt like coming home.”
“They can at least finish the academic year,” says Veerle Hendrickx. “We are going to make sure that everything they have done at KdG, that the credits (credits) they have acquired with us, that they can transfer them to another study program, either with us or at another university of applied sciences.”
But the student does not like that: “It was just because this was a completely new way of education that I felt like getting a college diploma. For example, there are no exams, but we are evaluated in all kinds of other ways, via coaching, tasks, presentations, etc. This made it much more feasible for me to get a diploma. I am a bit tired of the classic way of teaching. “
