ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the essential issues surrounding the responsibility and incidence of the financing of public sector higher education. The questions addressed are:
iii Is there a case for taxpayers to subsidise tuition? iii What contribution to costs should be borne by taxpayers? iii What is the case for a student charge? iv Should student charges differ between courses? iv Is there a case for government to subsidise student income support? vi Should government intervene in the process?
