The odds are stacked against us : Student loans taking two years longer to pay off

‘The odds are stacked against us’: Student loans taking two years longer to pay off Save Normal text size Advertisement Students are taking more than two years longer to pay off their university loans than they did 15 years ago as the federal government comes under growing pressure to extend the loans to include certificate courses. A Sydney Morning Herald analysis of new federal government figures released this week suggest that the time to repay student debt has risen from an average of 7.3 years in 2005 to 9.3 years in 2020. Australian National University Professor Bruce Chapman, who designed the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) system introduced in 1989, said the increase in course fees over the past 15 years would help explain the longer time taken to repay student loans.

The gloom after no boom: La Trobe University suffers heaviest hit We’re sorry, this service is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Dismiss Normal text size Advertisement As La Trobe University staff logged back on last month after an uneasy summer break, they were greeted by an update from vice-chancellor John Dewar warning them that as tough as 2020 had been, this year was going to be even harder. La Trobe University will shed up to 300 more jobs in 2021, as it weathers a $170 million revenue downturn. The university, with its main campus in suburban Bundoora, went $9.5 million into deficit last year Dewar told them, amid a $90 million downturn in expected revenue. Its forecast for 2021 is worse: a $170 million hit to revenue compared with pre-COVID forecasts and no end to the downturn expected in 2022.
