Trusty way to make money
Article Abstract:
Higher education students in Australia now have to pay 24% of their course costs. In spite of protests when the scheme was introduced in 1989 student enrolments have increased by nearly 30%. Students can either pay when they enrol or through their taxes when they have left college. The fee is index-linked, and stands at 2,328 Australian dollars. Student applications were a record 250,000 in 1992, and 50,000 qualified people were unable to obtain places.
