What does the bill do?
The bill adds a new chapter to the Student Rights Law defining accommodations due to serious illness (a malignant disease, an illness requiring regular dialysis, or other illnesses the minister will set). The accommodations will be given to students who are absent from studies or exams due to medical treatments, medical procedures, or secondary health risks stemming from the illness, and may include an exam at a special time or place, use of digital tools, postponement of submission deadlines, and designation of a responsible person at the institution. The provisions will be set by the institutions in coordination with student committees, under uniform rules to be set by the Council for Higher Education, or in regulations for practical engineering and technician institutions.
