In the House, her focus is on industrial policy, innovation, higher education, culture, and media.[3] During a debate about the government's education budget in February 2024, Martens successfully added to the budget bill an amendment to the Tertiary Education and Research Act that would allow institutions of higher education to limit foreign students. The amendment achieved its goal by enabling them to declare an admission stop for the English track of a study program.[4]
