I believe the department of education should be held accountable. If kids are taught in school what their degree is able to get them and the average I NC one for that position, then it wouldn’t waste their time or money. More education surrounding specific degrees should be taught in highschool
@B4F2DXZ2wks2W
No, but replace student loans with a higher education levy instead, so that universities get paid a percentage of their alumni's income
@B3TZ7VF1mo1MO
No. It is up to the student to determine the consequences of what route of life they go on, and so long it was not due to any outside factors, a default would be their responsibility alone.
@B2WGS2X2mos2MO
Yes, the university should be held accountable, although tertiary education should be free to all citizens and permanent residents of Australia.
@B2SXP9S2mos2MO
No. That is something a student must be aware of. If they default on their loans, that is their fault. But, education costs should be decreased to avoid this.
@B23FZW94mos4MO
I feel that universities should only offer degrees that are necessary to getting employment. I.e degrees that won’t be recognised by employers should be abolished as it’s wasting student’s time and money.
@9ZL34PS5mos5MO
Yes, but degrees that don't have a chance of offering an income or meaningful impact on society like gender studies should not be eligible for student loans.
@B38LGZD2mos2MO
There is no such thing as defaulting on a loan in Australia, you aren't made to repay your debt if you don't earn enough.
