David Seymour: Fees-free doesn't result in more education
from The Weekend Collective · host Newstalk ZB
Winston Peters has leaked, and the Government has confirmed, that this will be the final year of fees-free support for tertiary students. The support was first introduced as a first year free incentive to help get more young people into further education, and was changed to be final year free last year. The policy has cost almost $350 million a year since it was introduced, but it seems the Government has decided that money is better spent elsewhere.
