According to a spokesperson from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the reform could be enacted before the summer recess. Starting in the upcoming winter semester, the housing allowance for students living away from their parents will increase by €60 to €440 per month. Additionally, the basic Bafög rate will be raised in two phases, with plans to align it with the level of basic security over the long term. The Bafög amount is determined based on parental income and other factors.
