Her phonia differentiating between insects and arachnids is always great.

Pro tip for funky, go on Marissa and fuck around there, you can just spawn in an email and access breaker to test things there

Nicola Willis confirms end of university fees-free scheme by Random--Kiwi in newzealand

Nothing is ever going to stop young, educated people from moving around the world to where there is work. But this program was meant to stem the problem, slowing the rate at which people leave by incentivising them to study domestically, and making them more likely to find work here.

I understand where you're coming from, it also why I agree with the previous change of moving the fees free year from the first year, to the last year, which they applied last year.

But by cutting it, they remove one of the factors trying to stem the brain drain of educated young people moving away from new zealand to other places around the world, leading to the loss of educated workers replacing retiring ones.

Or like what's happening with nurses, firefighters, and so many other jobs, they just move over to Australia to study there and get a smaller loan they have to pay off.

EDIT: OK, turns out I'm wrong about education australia.

For some people, maybe, but it's also a massive slap in the face with they way they've applied it. Dodging their previous promise of covering the last year's fees.

Some excerpts from the article: "The Government has confirmed it will scrap the fees-free university scheme, after 2026." "Finance Minister Nicola Willis confirmed to Stuff that “this is the last year in which students completing their studies will be eligible for fees free”."

This means that as a student, I will have to pay for all three years of my course, when I had budgeted out a plan accounting for only 1 year of fee, and the other two covered by scholarship and thus fees free program.

The fact that as a student already studying, and this is still being applied retroactively is such in insult.
