  • what on realize?  Yeah they spell it with an 's' (realise) in NZ. And in most other english speaking non-american countries.

  • Spelling error. Fail.

  • The support students get from the government for education is great, the amount supplied for student loans is not enough to live off, hence I work and hence I have less time to perform well so I learn to be effective with my time.

    I look forward to investing the knowledge I gain in university back into New Zealand's economy so that others will have a greater opourtunity at work.

  • We have a good support system for people wanting to attend university. Considering how many people used to go to university back in the day. These days there is a complete lack of respect shown by most students, and they get more than they deserve. Students barely studying, drinking multiple times a week, treating it like its college. For those who do work hard, It's a downer, but don't blame the government, blame your peers who bring it down for everyone else. Government is doing what it can.

  • well directed mr RMT

  • Yeah, good point. We definitely should not raise benefits then.

    I agree.

  • btw, the first year I went on DPB was the first year that benefits were actually raised in about 10 years thats why I went over the threshold, I no longer go over the threshold but it would only take another raise in a benefit to exceed it.. just before I get bene-bashed by saying I earn over $18,000 pa- I don't.

  • the repayment threshold is too low!!! I am on DPB and the first year I went on DPB I got stung with a repayment on my loan (and I am still studying!). WINZ won't deduct student loan payments from the benefit (as an employer would) so I had to find a couple hundred dollars out of thin air!

  • "1 in 5 primary kids leave school unable to read and write."

    Since you're keen on statistics being used carefully, I'd like to know where this figure comes from. (Do you mean "leave primary school to start high school, unable to read or write?")

    The bottom 20% of kiwi kids are not doing well at school, for sure. But I'd be surprised if illiteracy was tracking to 20% of the population.

  • We have one of the most generous student support schemes in the world, yet NZUSA want more middle class white kids to have more free beer money, while 1 in 5 primary kids leave school unable to read and write.

    Why do NZUSA support wealth transfers from poor people to wealthy people?
