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.
@B38LGZD1mo1MO
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.
@B358G681mo1MO
Yes, it should be the responsibility of the University to make all degrees affordable. If students can't afford a Uni course, they should be set up with a payment plan and financial aid to pay back the degree.
@B2WGS2X1mo1MO
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.
@B24STGS3mos3MO
No, it is a responsibility of a citizen to be financially educated. If they default due to their own choices, it is not the fault of the university for providing what they asked for.
@B23FZW93mos3MO
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.
@9ZL34PS4mos4MO
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.
