Keep undergrade pay to study, but make postgraduate education free with high grades.
@9BSXRXX2yrs2Y
@99XSC9R2yrs2Y
Yes, to fields with skill shortages e.g doctor's, nurses etc. It should only have to be paid back if the person doesn't stay in the qualified field for less than 5 years.
@99PC3VH2yrs2Y
Yes, but any fees for courses failed should be paid back.
@93TDZNR3yrs3Y
It should be for third year and final year students only. Not for first years students.
@8GNS8BC4yrs4Y
I think everyone gets study link, which is then wiped (paid to studylink by the government) if you get your qualification - more of an incentive for students to do well. If paid for by parents or by other means than studylink, refunded by government.
@8D29FLF5yrs5Y
Yes, on selected courses pertaining to skills that the country is lacking and contains a minimum stay in NZ after the completion of study
@8CN37M55yrs5Y
Post graduate studies and research for good causes should be subsidised

Only for qualifications that support our national interests

Yes for the final year of your degree only

As students progress fees should reduce as they progress through the exams with good pass grades
