"For the seriously imaginative"
with Dr. Alison Chiu, David Malouf AO and Malcolm Turnbull (Sydney, 1999).
With the current controversy about the planned increases in student tuition fees at UK universities, it is worth remembering that the UK model of student loans/tuition fees came from Australia, where the system seemed to work well and impressed Sir Ron Dearing and his visiting team (Dearing Report, 1997).
Malcolm Turnbull was a former Rhodes Scholar. Poet and novelist David Malouf taught in a British secondary school in the 1960s.
"It is important for Australians to engage the world. The great virtue of studying away from home is that it provides a wider variety of experiences. We are living in an increasingly international world",
said Malcolm Turnbull then.
British students would do well to heed his advice nowadays. Relatively few (1 in 200) study overseas, even for a part of their degree courses.
