The Unfinished Business of Higher Education Reform The Australian government's continued reliance on the Job ready Graduates scheme has left hundreds of thousands of students facing crippling fees for degrees in arts, law, and commerce.
This policy was supposed to steer students away from humanities, but it appears to have done little more than prioritize certain fields over others.
At its core, this issue is about fairness – or rather, the perceived lack thereof. Education Minister Jason Clare has described the scheme as "unfair" and a "failed" attempt to reform higher education.
