In order to provide financial support for higher education, the Liberal Democratic Party's research committee has set up a mechanism for graduate students in the master's program to return money according to their income after graduation without paying tuition fees while attending school. I have summarized the outline of the proposal that it should be introduced in.
The Liberal Democratic Party's Education and Human Resources Strengthening Study Group has put together a draft proposal for the government before the government's "Education Future Creation Council", which is considering the ideal way of higher education, will put together a proposal by the end of next month. I did.
According to this, for financial support of higher education, referring to the Australian system, the graduate school of the master's course will not pay the tuition fee while attending school and will return it according to the income after graduation. It is said that it should be introduced in advance for students.
In addition, regarding the current system that allows university students to receive benefits-type scholarships and exemptions such as tuition fees, it is necessary to expand the scope to middle-income groups and reduce the burden, especially for households with many children and science and engineering. We should support undergraduate students.
In addition, in order to strengthen the functions of the university, on the premise of strengthening governance, etc., it includes initial investment when reorganizing the faculty in growth fields and establishment of a fund to support continuous operation, etc. The association plans to put together recommendations soon based on these outlines.
