Yes but only for approved programs
@9FCFL562yrs2Y
Yes to those that pass an stay in tye ountry and use their degree
@9DWBLHZ2yrs2Y
Yes, but based on grades and a bond system
There should be more bursary, funding, scholarship allowances based on academic achievement
@9DB48DX2yrs2Y
Think the first year fees free should be changed to Year 3 - too many go for the first year and then drop out.
@9D7P5QG2yrs2Y
yes, but the tertiary education system needs to be overhauled.
@9D7C4TB2yrs2Y
No. It can be unfair when a separated parents wage is included and not the step parents wage who is paying for the child.
@9D5XGWG2yrs2Y
Yes, in courses that lead to employment in areas that NZ needs in future (and perhaps bond for a period of time).
@97ZQ89R2yrs2Y
No, but significantly decrease fees, increase entry requirements and encourage other means of higher education such as apprenticeships
@8H4F7884yrs4Y
Maybe the last year is free. This way you know you have committed students that are not milking the system. And current fees are too high
@8DCCR3D5yrs5Y
They should only make the last year free
No but review the structure. Student allowance should be available to all students regardless of their parents income - this is a downfall of the current scheme
@9BDGTZV2yrs2Y
No but more money should be spent to reduce tuition costs
@8HM356B4yrs4Y
Yes , unless dropped out or failed
@8GF8VY74yrs4Y
Yes but must pass entrance exam and be bonded to Nz
@8D7JMPP5yrs5Y
Yes, provided the student passes
