There’s been a saying around for ages that the biggest investment anyone will make in their life is the purchase of a house, followed by the purchase of a car – but in today’s day and age, education could easily fight for second position. HECS has always been a touchy subject, and with it ever increasing it becomes more of a sore point to students.
I’m also old enough to remember the glowing reference to Australia being the lucky country with the right to free education – I mean education has never been free entirely, there's always been costs incurred, but are these cost starting to blow out?
I’ve been out of the higher education system for awhile and at times I feel I lose understanding with it all, but as a father it still interests me. With this in mind, I put forward to the bluelight collective, that consists a high percentage of students, or people just completed.
Is HECS a fair system and are the fees justifiable in your opinion? What are the alternatives?
