Sharing the burden of education costs

The Australian Scholarships Group (ASG) is calling for the federal government to recognise education as a financial priority, with as much significance for the economy as retirement or buying a house.

The ASG wants to create an incentive program with government to help parents save for their children’s education.

They believe this would allow families and government to share the burden of education costs.
