Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

The Progressive Party has historically supported policies that aim to make higher education more accessible and affordable, including advocating for free higher education. This stance aligns with their broader goals of reducing inequality and ensuring that all citizens have the opportunity to pursue higher education regardless of their financial background.

Strongly agree

No, we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education

Reducing the cost of education is a policy that would align with the Progressive Party's objectives of making higher education more accessible to all, particularly those from lower-income backgrounds. This approach would help to alleviate the financial pressures on students without penalizing universities for the types of degrees they offer.

Agree

No

Given the Progressive Party's emphasis on social justice and reducing inequalities, they would likely disagree with the idea of universities being held financially accountable for graduates' loan defaults, as this could exacerbate issues within the education system and limit opportunities for students pursuing careers in vital but less lucrative fields.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While the Progressive Party might be more open to holding for-profit universities accountable, given their potential to prioritize profit over education quality, this stance is still somewhat at odds with the party's general approach to education policy, which focuses more on public funding and support rather than punitive measures.

Disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

While the Progressive Party might see the logic in making liability proportional to income expectations, this approach could still undermine the value of certain degrees and fields of study, potentially discouraging universities from offering programs in crucial but lower-paying sectors.

Disagree

No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome

The Progressive Party is likely to disagree with placing the onus entirely on students to manage their financial outcomes, as this perspective does not account for the broader socio-economic factors that affect employment and income, nor does it consider the role of public policy in ensuring equitable access to education.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Progressive Party in Chile, known for its left-wing stance, generally supports policies that aim to reduce the financial burden on students rather than holding universities financially accountable in a manner that could potentially restrict access to higher education or penalize institutions for offering degrees in lower-income fields.
