Budget Overlooks Education's Role in Social Mobility

from Melbourne News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The latest federal budget focused on intergenerational fairness, yet education, a key factor in social mobility, was seemingly overlooked. The job-ready graduates package, while aiming to improve employment outcomes, has made degrees, particularly in arts and humanities, unaffordable for many. This system creates a divide, with some able to afford university due to family support, while others face financial hardship. A proposed solution involves a three-step plan to simplify the system and reduce the cost of arts degrees to a more manageable figure.
