If apprenticeship is widespread and giving real opportunity, then it's for a group of youth who aren't good enough for higher education. Exam results should be more important than other standards & judgement. If high school students are given real opportunities for apprenticeship, then they will choose. The pay should be reasonable too. If governments do want them choosing apprenticeship, then there must be persuasion in different forms. Youth do want to enjoy life too rather than working too hard. Apprenticeship should come with flexible working hours, enjoyable lifestyles that uni students can get. If apprenticeship is really desirable, then high school students will certainly take it. Apprenticeship is necessary.
…they’ve managed to cost the
government money, and create mass student indebtedness at the same time. The
loan policy in particular is a flaming catastrophe...Common sense would dictate
that if there had to be a reform, it should be to make the financial system
more like education – not the other way around...
… As the real value of fees
erodes, the squeeze threatens teaching quality and research excellence. The
public finances cannot bear ever more debt write-offs…We need to switch back to
the public funding of teaching, rather than debt write-off. And we need more
diverse and appropriate routes through higher education… It is possible to
unlock this change because the current system wastes both public and private
money…
…High quality education should be
available for all people…starting with early childhood education and continuing
through graduate school. It should be the role of our federal government to
provide free high quality education for all...
Arguments against free university education
It doesn’t have to, you can but why should everyone
want it? Who’s the dictator?
Do we have too many
graduates?
So it must be the rich who should get higher education
because we have too many graduate?
Makes people value
education more
Valuing education is not about measuring it in monetary
term.
Signalling function
of higher education
Assumption of employers shouldn’t be taken as a reason to
cause a major crisis. Instead, employers should be given education how to test
ability. At the same time, taxation has to be fair.
50% of 18 year olds to go to university – it’s good. University can educate varieties
to students including the studies that lead to no career, e.g. philosophy…
Students can also be given opportunity to learn life, politics, nature, arts,
etc. that have no career prospect but becoming informed youths, smart adults,
good generation. At the same time, students should have opportunity to learn
something for that land them a career such as plumber. If opportunities are
flexible, students can learn both and work at the same time. This should be the
same in Australia .
Classrooms can be nice though crowded. University is a place to meet diversity
and experience variety. 18 years old shouldn’t have to start thinking about
debt and life ahead of them yet. They maybe low incomers, who are testing the
water, who are searching for a path… they can serve in military, police, fire
fighting, etc. as they enjoy university life at the same time. They can also
take apprenticeship two days a week. They should be trained to become
responsible adults one day.
One day, they will earn decently. With lots of money in their pockets, what do kids do? They shop!
Debt causes economic stagnation and recession - unhappy life. Education should be free. Those with debt should be pardoned - they should pay no more.
