Bill: Education Act: University Tuition
Details
Submitted by[?]: We Say So! Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2806
Description[?]:
| In order to allow a fairer system of tuition money paid to University Students a non-inflationary Government means tested loan will be introduced. Those students from disadvantaged families can gain up to the maximum permitted loan. This amount available to the students decreases with the income available to said students dependent upon the ability of either the student or supporting families. Repayment of loans will occur after the end of tuition, but not until the student is making over a minimum income (to be set at a later date once economics and currency is introduced). This payment will be removed directly from the wage of said former student and will be based around the income of said former student so as not to impinge on quality of life. Should Student not have repaid all, or any, of their loan by the time of retirement, then the loan becomes null-and-void and no payment will be requested. |
