Students and Staff Rally Against Education Cuts

Oak Lawn, UWA.

On Saturday 13 April, Craig Emerson, Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Training announced funding cuts of $900 million dollars in universities through the introduction of a 2 year 'efficiency dividend'.
At the same time, start up scholarships were turned into a loan, meaning many students face up to 37% more debt and a decade of student loan repayments.

These cuts were announced as a way to fund the Gonski reforms. The Opposition has said they will push forward with these cuts if elected in September, yet won't be funding the Gonski reforms at all.
