Thanks for the great information. I'm passing it along to friends who would qualify. Do you know if the program is likely to continue for a few more years at least? Do you know anyone who has participated in it? It sounds like a dream come true for many, especially those who can supplement the income with savings--I imagine it would be tough to live on 630 Euros/month.

but 630 a month for 12 hours a week is good. You could suppliment with private classes.
It sounds great! I wish they would have done this 5 years ago!!!
