Furthermore, from 2029 schoolbooks and other learning materials will be free for young people under 18 in vocational education, and a public AI provision will be created for schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP Selected SCXW229479658 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","inhoud":"<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Make lateral entry more attractive<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To tackle the teacher shortage, the cabinet is setting aside \u20ac79 million to make lateral entry more attractive, increasing to \u20ac88 million per year.
