Australian Greens Education spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi has responded to reports that the National Party has secured Government backing to save social work and psychology students from massive uni fee increases.
\nSenator Faruqi said:
\n\u201cWhile I\u2019m happy for future social work and psychology students, this is hardly a win for regional communities.
\n\u201cThis political deal will not help the vast majority of regional students facing the highest proposed fee hikes.
\n\u201cRegional universities will still lose millions in essential funding for teaching and learning.
\n\u201cThis is a political deal that doesn\u2019t fix any fatal structural problems with the Tehan bill.
\n\u201cThe package is irredeemable and should be dumped in its entirety,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
