Opinion: The College Cost Fog Machine: We Need a New Transparency Compact

The Guardian view on universities: public confidence in degrees is wavering – ministers should shore it up | Editorial

Unfair changes to student loans and concerns about job prospects must be weighed against the life-changing potential of educationIs going to university financially worthwhile? New research on graduate incomes is unlikely to help the beleaguered sector’s reputation. Even though most benefit from an earnings premium, worth around £100,000 on average over a lifetime (after tax and student loan repayments), the finding that one in four people end up worse off proves that there are no guarantees. The premium has shrunk by around 30 compared with forecasts from six years ago.The study from the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) could be viewed as a vindication of the latest British Social Attitudes survey. It found that the proportion of people who think a degree is not worth the time and money has risen from 14 to 34 in 20 years. While the research predated Rachel Reeves’s most recent, unfair worsening of the terms on which graduates repay loans, it arguably reflected reduced confidence in the government’s commitment to protect the graduate earnings premium, as well as anxiety about salary prospects and the economy more broadly.

Anti-Labor activist wins Albanese tennis match auction to have ‘very firm words’ with him

Former Liberal MP Nicolle Flint reacts to mortgage broker Joseph Daoud spending $16,500 to win a charity auction tennis match with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Ms Flint said she expects Mr Daoud to have some “very firm words” with the prime minister about the “mess” he’s making of the property market. “At least for once we are seeing the prime minister using tennis for good, because of course the prime minister, when he is usually associated with tennis, he’s running away from a scandal or disaster,” she told Sky News host James Morrow. ​“Viewers would remember when he flew into Alice Springs during the riots for two hours and spent longer at the Australian Open. ​“I think it is wonderful to see democracy in action, whereby someone who has a very important axe to grind with the prime minister about the absolute mess he is making of our property market can do so.”
