Cuts to student debt opens the door to further university reform

from From Pillar to Post · host CBAA

Federal politics has returned to Canberra for the first time since the May election with reforms to student loans/HELP debts the first thing to hit parliament. The 20-percent reduction is a welcome change for the three million Australians managing a student debt. But is this the first change of many, or the last we can expect for a while?  We take a look at how the nation and the world has benefited from fee-free university, and what can be done to ease the burden on graduates forced to grapple with cost-of-living pressures.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
