Strongly agree

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

The SNP's policies on education, including their support for abolishing tuition fees for Scottish students, indicate a strong preference for making education more affordable and accessible, which aligns with the idea of decreasing the cost of education rather than holding universities financially accountable for student loan defaults.

Agree

No

Given the SNP's support for public funding of higher education and their efforts to abolish tuition fees for Scottish students at Scottish universities, they would likely disagree with holding universities financially accountable in this way, as it contradicts their broader educational policies.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While the SNP is critical of for-profit education and supports public funding for universities, their policies do not specifically advocate for financial penalties for universities based on student outcomes. Their focus is more on providing support and funding for education rather than penalizing institutions.

Disagree

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

Although the SNP emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in various contexts, when it comes to education, their policies suggest a belief in the state's role in ensuring access to education for all, rather than placing the burden of financial outcomes solely on students.

Disagree

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

While the SNP supports measures to ensure that education leads to gainful employment, making liability proportional to expected income does not align well with their policies of free education and support for the public funding of universities. They are more likely to support systemic solutions over penalizing educational institutions.
