Slightly agree

No, we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education

Disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

While the ACT Party supports free market principles and personal responsibility, the idea of making liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered might be seen as an unnecessary government intervention in the education sector. However, they might see some merit in the accountability aspect, hence the score is not as negative as it could be.

Disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

Although the ACT Party champions free market principles, they might be slightly more open to the idea of holding for-profit universities accountable due to the potential for exploitation in the education sector. However, their overall philosophy of minimal government intervention and personal responsibility means they would still lean towards disagreement with this approach.
