Te Pāti Māori Party

Very strongly agree

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

Focusing on decreasing the cost of education is closely aligned with Te Pāti Māori Party's objectives to make higher education more accessible and equitable, particularly for Māori and disadvantaged communities. This approach addresses the root cause of student loan defaults without penalizing universities or students.

Strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

Te Pāti Māori Party has historically supported policies that aim to make education more accessible and reduce barriers for Māori and other marginalized groups. Advocating for free higher education aligns with their broader goals of equity and social justice, making this a likely favorable stance.

Agree

No

The party is likely to agree with this stance as it aligns with their broader focus on supporting equitable access to education and reducing financial burdens on students, especially those from marginalized communities. They might argue that the responsibility for student loan defaults should not solely fall on educational institutions.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While Te Pāti Māori Party might see the merit in holding for-profit universities accountable as a way to ensure they are not exploiting students, their broader focus is likely on systemic changes to the education system that benefit all students, rather than targeting specific types of institutions.

Disagree

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

While making liability proportional to expected income might seem like a fair approach, Te Pāti Māori Party might view this as potentially discouraging for students from pursuing degrees in fields that are essential but undervalued in terms of monetary compensation, such as teaching or social work, which could disproportionately affect Māori and other communities.

Disagree

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

This answer places the onus of financial management and outcomes solely on students, which might conflict with Te Pāti Māori Party's advocacy for systemic support and reforms to alleviate the financial pressures on students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Te Pāti Māori Party generally supports policies that aim to reduce barriers to education for Māori and other underserved communities. Holding universities financially accountable for graduates defaulting on loans due to low-income jobs could potentially discourage institutions from offering courses that are crucial but not necessarily high-earning, which could be counterproductive to educational accessibility and diversity.
