Maybe just lower the costs
Yes for skilled labour shortage area's e.g nursing, doctors etc but only if the candidates pass and spend 5 years in the chosen field.
@9FCRSQDDemocracyNZ2yrs2Y
Only funded if you complete the degree if not you have to pay it back
@9DWLZZS2yrs2Y
Free for courses where there are low numbers of graduates but the need is great. Eg. Doctors, Engineers, Vets, Dentists. They should then be bonded to stay in NZ for 5yrs.
@9DWKH6B2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for courses where NZ has a need
@9DLXJDG2yrs2Y
@9D3RJXX2yrs2Y
Yes but bind them to NZ for 5 years
@9G6PC5G 1yr1Y
Yes but there should only be free short courses for work that is needed right now. Such as trained certificates working with machinery infrastructure, environment, forestry, horticulture

Assist students who financially can't pay for deposits for accom and large admin fees when enrolling.
No. Tertiary education has suffered from saturation leading to low quality output of students with significant debt. Universities should align with country requirements on a needs-analysis basis
