Should tuition at public universities be free?

Yes, but only if you complete the degree. Hence if you start other degrees without finishing, those course costs are not free

Do the last year free, not the first, that way it's for those who will actually finish their degrees

subsidising costs of tertiary education is important and not just based on a family income. Some students do not align themselves with their families and some families hide their wealth in trusts.

Support or partial funding for relevant tuition that serves to add value in NZ and for a career. Eg health, engineering, teaching (not languages, art, sport, history, religion, dramatics)

Im mot sure

Only for students who pass their studies to a high merit

Yes, but with a cap on the amount of free training per individual irrespective of level of study.

Yes, Tertiary tuition should be free for certain courses but the student should be required to pay if they are required to resit a paper.
