Agree

No

Labour's policies have historically aimed at supporting students and reducing barriers to higher education, suggesting a disagreement with the idea of holding universities financially accountable for the loan defaults of their graduates. They are more likely to support measures that address the root causes of student loan defaults, such as improving access to higher education and financial support for students.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While the Labour Party is generally supportive of measures that protect students and ensure the quality of education, their policies do not specifically target for-profit universities. Their approach is more holistic, focusing on the broader education system rather than singling out specific types of institutions for financial accountability.

Disagree

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

While the Labour Party is interested in ensuring that higher education leads to good employment outcomes, making liability proportional to expected income does not align well with their general approach to education policy. They are more likely to focus on broader measures to support students and improve education quality.

Disagree

No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome

Labour tends to view education as a public good and is likely to support policies that reduce the financial burden on students, rather than emphasizing personal responsibility for financial outcomes. This stance is in line with their broader social welfare policies.
