Presenter:     Discussant:    Moderator:

Bruce Chapman, Professor of Economics, Australian National University   Harry Patrinos, Practice Manager, Education Global Practice, The World Bank   Nina Arnhold, Global Lead, Tertiary Education GSG, Education Global Practice, The World Bank

 

Background: Student loans systems are in trouble world-wide: millions of former students are in default with ruined credit reputations; and governments are spending hundreds of billions of dollars propping up destructive and ineffective loan arrangements. The webinar will analyse comprehensively the issue, which is that most student loans are collected on the basis of time, creating major problems for debtors with low incomes. There is a simple solution, income-contingent loans, which have been equitable and efficient in Australia, England and New Zealand, and are close to adoption in many other countries: for example, Colombia, Brazil, Papua New Guinea and Malaysia.

About the Presenter:

 

:993/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX%3E71573?part=1.3&filename=image006.jpg" o:title="image010" /> Mr. Bruce Chapman is a professor of economics at the Australian National University. He is an Australian economist and academic known for being the founder or architect of the HECS system.  HECS is the Higher Education Contribution Scheme loans system. He received an Order of Australia in 2003. He was awarded a Bachelor of Economics at the Australian National University for his undergraduate degree. He earned his PhD in Economics from Yale University.  In 1989, the Australian Federal Government led by Bob Hawke introduced the Higher Education Contributions Scheme (HECS) which was first intimated by Professor Murray Wells.  Bruce Chapman further developed the policy with the support of the then Education Minister John Dawkins. He was also an advisor to the Keating Government in 94-96.  In the original HECS, an $1,800 fee was charged to all university students, and the Commonwealth Government footed the bill. It was a first of its kind loan scheme that used the tax system to collect repayments. The scheme has influenced other countries like the United Kingdom, Ghana, New Zealand and Hungary to introduce their own model of a higher education contribution scheme. Since then he worked with governments on policies such as the Working Nation and the 2010 changes to Youth Allowance. The Abbott Liberal Government came into power in 2013 and tried to introduced reforms into the higher education sector. This included fee deregulation which Chapman has been gob smacked that allows universities to raise fees in excess to the cost of teaching students
