The Labor party is considering the implementation of a ‘jobs broker’ to assist college students in finding placements, according to Jason Clare. He emphasized the importance of transparency in the allocation of public funds to schools and the need to ensure that the money is used effectively to address current issues. Clare also addressed the issue of public school funding and the negotiations taking place to bridge the 5% gap between government and public school contributions. Additionally, he mentioned potential changes to philanthropic funding for universities and the need to simplify and make HECS payments fairer for students. The government is expected to review the report’s recommendations and consider changes to indexation and HECS-HELP payments in the coming months.
