Ellen Dixon: Students advocate says student debt isn't talked about enough

Students are calling for more education around the impact of student debt. Student loan living costs have increased by more than $100 a week over the past six years. On Saturday, April 1, that amount will rise by just over $20 to $302 a week. For students borrowing the maximum amount, that's more than $15,000 dollars a year. New Zealand Union of Students' Associations President Ellen Dixon says student debt isn't talked about enough. She says going from school to suddenly being pushed into independence is a big adjustment, so there needs to be more conversations around financial budgeting.
