Higher education in NL is about 1800 euros/year for citizens (limiations apply in age, etc.). Living costs, study materials etc. are not included. You can loan ~1100/month max from the government, which currently is at 0% interest, but starting 2 years after finishing your studies you'll be required to pay it off in the next 30 years. (? unsure about this timespan) I hadn't heard about said hot topic, but one of the reasons might be that recently the government stopped remitting part of the student loan as a gift after graduation.
