Fees
Fees
Now of course, in order to recompense you for a reduction in the people services and facilities available for your use the Government is going to decrease your fees isn't it? Not on your life. As the staff and services get fewer/less, each year student fees are to go up by 15%. Not much is it? Only a 74.9% increase over the period. And a lot of you are going to be paying full fees. So, many students will go from paying $0.00 (nil) in 1978 to $279.84 for fees by 1984. For a deteriorating product plus welfare levies. Oh, and text books, rising rents, transport costs etc.
