The Government's flagship fees-free policy seems to be sending more students to university at the expense of other tertiary education sectors.
Data released to the
Herald under the Official Information Act shows that more than
half of the fees-free students in 2019 went to university, while 77 per cent of those university students came from decile 6 to 10 schools.
