QUT Kelvin Grove Students took to George Street yesterday to protest Federal Government cuts to tertiary education.
The National Union of Students were protesting against new government plans which include lowering the HECS repayment threshold to $45,000, loss of less popular courses and a reduction in student support services.
The students who protested yesterday say they are horrified for the future of tertiary education, with beliefs that Australia is headed down the same path as the US, with only those who are well-off able to afford higher education.
