Yes. But entry requirements should be much higher.

If the students deserve it and are smart enough to get in there normally and increase the amount of free collage
No, maybe subsidise if you pass the qualification

Yes, but introduce merit-based entrance tests
Yes, but it should come with expectations for attendance, engagement and completion and require repayment if these are not met (excluding exceptional circumstances)
Yes - but they must pass each year
No but with a solid view to fully funding bright lower income students with good grades.

Based on grades eg if you fail you have to pay but if you do well government pays for it or subsidizes it. But also tutor etc availablr to help people succeed. Maybe pay all costs eg Living costs etc perhaps for educatuon for roles hat are on our immigration list. Eg for roles we are in need of as a country.
