Liberal’s answer: نعمUnder the coalition:
- Universities are in the midst of a two-year funding freeze to save about $2 billion from the budget. Funding will be kept at 2017 levels until 2020.
- The freeze means universities will not get extra money if they enrol more students than last year and they also won't see any indexation to help with rising costs.
- Universities Australia says the freeze will affect 10,000 student places and has called for its reversal.Source
Socialist Alliance’s answer: لاSocialist Alliance will fight to restore public education at all levels, creating a universal, free, quality secular system open to all those who need and want it. This would preclude the need for taxpayer subsidies to private institutions, which would be fully funded by those who choose to provide and use them.Source
