Government looking at recommendations on student debt reform

Education Minister Jason Clare says the Universities Accord Final Report is a “blueprint” for higher education reform. Mr Clare said it will be for the “next decade and the one after that”. “And it includes recommendations in it about how we make our HECS system fairer and simpler. “We’re looking at all of the recommendations in that report at the moment, including the recommendations around HECS. “And we’ll respond to the first stage of our reforms, responding to that report in the next few months.”
