UM statement regarding leftist school indoctrination tipline initiative
The nationalist political party Forum voor Democratie has set up a special tipline to encourage students to report ‘leftist indoctrination’ at school. In response to this initiative, Maastricht University states the following:
“A tipline of this nature goes against everything our university stands for; independent and critical academic practice, academic freedom and offering a safe learning and working environment. The Executive Board is proud that its staff create such an environment every single day."

On Friday afternoon, 18 October, Minister Eppo Bruins (Education, Culture, and Science) paid a working visit to Maastricht. There, he was briefed by Limburg's educational institutions on current educational topics from the Education Manifesto. The minister also engaged in conversations with teachers and students. Through practical examples, Bruins gained a clear understanding of how education in Limburg is joining forces and taking advantage of the opportunities presented by its border location. In addition, the Province of Limburg and the educational institutions expressed their concerns about government plans that do not sufficiently take these regional opportunities into account.
