#Australian #universities have been a hallmark of equal opportunity since the #Whitlam #Labor government abolished fees in the 1970s. The aim was to allow the growing population of young Australians to get a higher #education – based on their merit over their money – and without the threat of financial ruin.
“We are all diminished when any of us are denied proper education,” #goughwhitlam told parliament, and the economy for a period gained a highly skilled workforce unencumbered by debt.
But now university enrolment growth has slowed, and degree completion is the lowest it’s been in almost a decade. #dumbification
