I a sense though it is, here. Namely, a fairly large number of
students are doing a lot of real work, at prices that are quite
attractive to companies. The wages are possible only because students
enjoy specially low conditions for tax, insurance, social security, etc.

I'd stop this immediately. This way this is just cutting wage rates
using public money in the end.

For example, students are also invited to design big content management
systems as part of their diploma. I'd like to know what the promise is
and what the bargain is. See the Lufthansa web site.
