The National Assembly passed a bill proposing automatic annual indexation of student grants to inflation and extending the disbursement period from 10 to 12 months. This measure, championed by Deputy Soumya Bourouaha, aims to modernize the system, which critics argue has not kept pace with rising living costs since 2013. The proposal now awaits review by the Senate.

- The measure was adopted by the National Assembly with near-unanimity, supported by left-wing and National Rally groups.
