Australia tuition fees need to be reformed again? "Tutorial fees should be linked to post-graduation income"
Starting from January last year, the Morrison government reformed the tuition system in Australia, increased the tuition fees for humanities majors, and reduced the tuition fees for science and engineering and nursing , so as to encourage students to study science and engineering and fill the vacancies in Australia's subsequent employment market.
However, the enrol data from Australian universities showed that this policy did not achieve the expected results and failed to successfully guide more students to study science and engineering.
Therefore, the current government is considering reforming again to link how much tuition should be paid with how much income after graduation.
If the tuition fee is really linked to post-graduate income according to the Labour Party’s plan, tuition fees are linked to post-graduate income. According to the latest statistics, In the annual salary statistics of graduates of all disciplines, dentistry graduates have the highest annual salary, with an annual salary of median reaching $108,100/year, followed by medicine, with an annual salary of $101,000/year. These two majors have long been Australia's "iron rice bowl" high-paying professions.
Art design category is relatively low, and its annual salary after graduation is about 60,000+.
However, the previous tuition fee reform was only for local students, and it is still unknown whether it will have an impact on the future tuition fees of international students.
