Should tuition at public universities be free?

Tertiary education is not as relevant as it once was

Yes - For there first degree only then they must work in that field for the time it took to undertake the degree

Yes but only for people studying courses that qualify people into skilled areas where resources are low in NZ (e.g doctors, nurses, teachers etc)

Shure but kids should be allowed to decide to get education if they want it

Yes but only where there are skill shortages to incentivise people to study a particular field

Yes, but only for skills shortage roles across NZ

Only in first year but more scholarships for after that

subsidised if pass each year

Upon completion of tertiary education.

It should be for third year and final year students only. Not for first years students.

Yes, but only as a lump sum refund upon graduation/submission of pass marks

Yes but only for 3 years so they don’t keep changing their mind and re-educating, to do so will be at their cost

Yes, on selected courses pertaining to skills that the country is lacking and contains a minimum stay in NZ after the completion of study

Only for qualifications that support our national interests

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

Government pays final year of completed degree

Maybe incentives to extend study. Although with current pay why study when you can get the same rate if you don't.

Lessen the cost of accommodation for those studying

Yes but must pass entrance exam and be bonded to Nz

Yes, if you pass papers and prove yourself

Paid via student loan and upon passing the degree or course they get some of the course fees refunded. So it avoids those who rack up big debt and never complete a course. It gives an incentive for people to complete and pass a course as they know they will get fees paid back upon completion of the course.
