I'm one of the thousands of New Zealanders who attend, or have attended, university as an over-55 "mature student" and incurring a government-funded student loan to pay course fees.

How much do some thousands of New Zealanders value their tertiary education?
Tertiary education minister Steven Joyce says he is "comfortable" thousands of tertiary students will not get student loans to continue their studies next year.
More than 22,000 overseas-based student loan borrowers on a repayment holiday have been reminded by IRD that have a payment to make by September 30.
Tertiary students who risk losing access to loans for failing over half their papers over two years can appeal for leniency if they show they are pulling their weight, says Tertiary Education Minis
People who have finished their tertiary studies but are still paying off student loans are likely to be hit with an annual administration fee.
Revenue gained by extending the administration charge for student loans will be used to create more tertiary education places, Tertiary Education Minister Steven Joyce says.
