The landscape of higher education is rapidly evolving, presenting both opportunities and challenges for students. This discussion explores critical issues such as choice, access, selection, and financial support mechanisms like loans and scholarships. We delve into the quality of the learning experience and the dynamics of merit selection, competition, and equity, particularly for Indigenous and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, we address the implications of deregulation, student learning entitlements, and strategies for attracting and retaining students as they navigate this complex marketplace.
