The Alliance says education should be free for everyone, from primary school all the way through to university and other tertiary study. They say this is a right, not a privilege, and that it is essential for a strong society and economy. They also link free education to community safety, arguing it is key to reducing crime rates. Student support is included as part of their broader social security rebuild.
