Description[?]:
Othman Kassis, PND Whip, This is the most important bill we have ever proposed. It decides the destiny of future generations and we will use the opportunity which the voters gave us to change the way students pay for the education, and the way which the government is involved. We believe, all higher education should be devolved to local governments, whilst the students receive centralized means-tested loans. After all, education is first and foremost an investment in the future which hopefully pays back. |
