Fair dinkum fee paying
Article Abstract:
The Australian higher education system offers access to Australian citizens, with repayments linked to future income. This could be changed by a new government elected in 1996. The system is seen as fair, though it does not provide for the maintenance costs of the majority of students, since few are able to receive Austudy grants. Minor changes could be made such as a general increase in charges, and this would be preferable to charging fees upfront, which would exclude poorer students.
