[quote=APAULT,264523]I agree with Jimmy. It was policy in many western countries to offer free or cheap tertiary education on the grounds that it would help poorer young people get an education. I am one such person, but I was in a minority, most tertiary students come from relatively wealthy families. Then they will get the better paid jobs too. So the policy did not work. Now students must pay a rate much closer to the economic cost. They will benefit from higher salaries and we assume a better life afterwards so why shouldn't they pay? The government then has the option of offering financial assistance to those who need it - they can do this through student grants and loans depending on their ideas on this and how much they want to assist the poorer students and perhaps those going into specialist areas like teaching and nursing (though if there is a need to assist these students over others, simply reflects that the salaries in these professions are too low!)[/quote]
