With the pandemic normalizing online education, this cohort may grow.

If we are going to fix higher education issues, state governments must be at the forefront of the work. The U.S. Constitution, and subsequent Supreme Court cases , have made it clear that education is a power reserved for states under the 10th Amendment. Federal financing was never meant to be the primary way to pay for higher education, but rather a means to bridge a cost gap for those from low-income families.

The opposition should fix a system that benefits the highest earners and those with wealthy parents Since the coalition government raised the cap on tuition fees in 2012, student debt has soared. Due to interest on student loans, many graduates will spend most of their working lives paying off a debt that is greater than what they borrowed. The system has produced intractable problems: students are paying more than ever to get degrees, but many will not get graduate-level jobs.
