Tertiary Education
Motion:
“That ICPA (Aust) continues to advocate for the inclusion of students who take one gap year in the eligibility criteria for the Tertiary Access Payment (TAP).”
Explanation:
Many students who are eligible for the TAP have spent up to six years at boarding school in order to access secondary education. Often those students who wish to continue to tertiary education, need a break for one year after an extended time away from home and family at boarding school. It is not an unreasonable expectation to increase the TAP eligibility to those students who wish to take one year off from study in order to refresh themselves for the tertiary years to come.
