hai guyz do u think we should tattoo DFEE on fee payin students foreheads?
no.
They don't "pay the professionals" to pass them like you say, they still have to work for the degree once they're there. I don't like it when 'daddy' pays for his son to do law cos he only got a 60 UAI. But apart from that, there are people dying to do a course. Most of those people drop out after a few months anyway, allowing for precious funding to go to the Uni. And for all we know, the uni probably accounts for that.
I'll put it this way. If your kid got 83 when the required uai was 85 for a course he wanted to do for his whole life, would you give your kid a leg up and pay for him to do the course? or just let him wash away by working at maccas until hes 25 and then get in as a mature age student?
Yes i'm CFE, yes i pay hecs, yes i am at a uni which doesnt provide DFEE places to Australian students.
