Dutch House of Representatives supports mandatory internship compensation

The Dutch House of Representatives supports making internship compensation mandatory for all educational levels. This aims to address underpayment issues faced by many students. A majority voted for a motion to ensure all students receive a fair internship allowance from employers, regardless of their educational path. This follows previous discussions where the Minister of Education expressed support for mandatory compensation. The initiative seeks to make education more attractive and prevent students from being exploited as cheap labor, with support from various political parties and the Education Council.
