Successor model of education leave: AMS approves 550 applications
The new model of education leave has been accepted in its initial months with 550 applications approved.
According to the Public Employment Service (AMS), 550 applications were approved in the first two months of the reformed education leave successor model. The reform was implemented in response to criticism from the Court of Audit and for budgetary reasons, and is set to take effect in 2026.
Reports indicate that many applications were rejected because they were submitted too early. So far, interest in the new model is low, suggesting a cautious demand. The AMS emphasizes that the changes are intended to promote further education.
