After reaching the civic integration age, young people who are required to participate in the civic integration program have 3 years to fulfill the civic integration obligation. As a result, they can get in trouble with any training they are currently following. The government finds this undesirable. That is why the cabinet wants to establish that following a course is a reason for extending the integration period. This gives those subject to an integration obligation more room to complete their education and to comply with the integration obligation.
