澳大利亚政府已承认2021年推出的Job-ready Graduates政策失效。1该政策导致大学学费差异悬殊,标准三年制艺术学位将超过54000澳元,而护理学位不足15000澳元。1到2027年,约三分之一的澳大利亚大学生单年学费将超过18000澳元。1
针对这一困境,研究建议用单一年度学生贡献率替代当前按收入差异化的收费体系。1建议设定的统一年度学费率约为10847澳元。1若采用中等费率9537澳元,政府年度净成本约6.85亿澳元。1根据测算,每100澳元的学生贡献率削减将使政府成本约5300万澳元每年。1
澳大利亚高等教育委员会不会在2027年下半年之前提供替代建议。1
The Australian government has conceded that the Job-Ready Graduates policy, launched in 2021, has proven ineffective.1 The scheme has created stark disparities in university fees across different disciplines, with standard three-year arts degrees now exceeding AUD 54,000 while nursing degrees cost less than AUD 15,000.1 By 2027, approximately one-third of Australian university students will face annual fees surpassing AUD 18,000.1
In response to the policy's shortcomings, researchers have put forward a simpler financing framework: a single annual student contribution rate of approximately AUD 10,847 would replace the current income-differentiated fee structure.1 This approach aims to create greater equity and clarity in higher education funding.1 The government has indicated that the Australian Higher Education Council will not provide alternative recommendations before the second half of 2027.1 According to the analysis, implementing a single uniform rate would require government funding of approximately AUD 685 million annually if set at a moderate level of AUD 9,537, while each AUD 100 reduction in the student contribution rate would cost the government around AUD 53 million per year.1
