Nurses, doctors, teachers and other essential workers should have their tuition fees wiped if they work for three years in NZ after graduating.
Yes, but the criteria to get FREE education should be met and the range of courses that offer FREE education should be vetted and needed in New Zealand. Only to avoid people entering education on useless degrees.
No, but have a base level covered free
Current up front fees with partial rebate on successful completion of course.
Tuition should be partly funded and student allowance should be available to all students living in a city with a higher cost of living
Yes, in a means tested way

No, but there should be more support for students financially (that they do not have to pay back), so that students can enjoy a good quality of life while studying (putting in effort to become educated, thus being better able to serve our country once qualified and working).
@8KJD7VK4yrs4Y
for the first year of study
