It should come at a cost but as you stay in your field working in New Zealand it should reduce money off your debt for giving back to our country and not leaving.
@9FMDHD21yr1Y
Course cost are only part of a student's costs
Yes, but only for the last year of studying.
@9DYRZF82yrs2Y
All student loan debt should be wiped and have free tuition with a bond to work requirement so graduates stay in NZ
@9DPFRGD2yrs2Y
Something like tax free savings plan eg Kiwi Start, a young person's version of Kiwisaver from birth to age 18 could help fund tertiary education, or become a deposit for a business startup or first time homeowner.
@9DKMQFB2yrs2Y
I like how first year is free but I feel funding would be available to high grade students.
@9DG6SKP2yrs2Y
Yes, targeted at students studying in skill shortage areas. eg Teachers, nurses, doctors
@8J28HRQ4yrs4Y
No but the interest rates should be lower than market rate for student loans.
@8HHDN944yrs4Y
Free for the first 2 years and they should have to pass for compensation
@8G3WZ7V4yrs4Y
Keep the first or last year of study free to help reduce student loan debts
@8FB5YL84yrs4Y
Provide final year of study for free.
@8DCFJ5R5yrs5Y
Yes in your final year of studies - these students have proven themselves
Free with a bond period but only for in demand subjects needed by profitable businesses
@97VKWKJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for the last year of study.
@8GQM3474yrs4Y
Yes, but only for the courses that will benefit NZ/address skill shortages
@8FK59Y64yrs4Y
Yes but with a ‘bond’ type of agreement where they must work in NZ for at least 5 years after they have gained their qualification.
