Very strongly agree

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

Focusing on decreasing the cost of education is a policy that would align well with the SDP's platform, which traditionally supports increased public spending on social services, including education. The party is likely to view this approach as a more effective and equitable solution to the problem of student debt.

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

The SDP has historically supported policies that aim to make education more accessible and affordable, aligning with the idea that higher education should be free for everyone. This stance is consistent with the party's broader social welfare objectives and its commitment to reducing educational inequality.

Strongly agree

No

Given the SDP's progressive policies and emphasis on social welfare, it is likely to oppose holding universities financially accountable for student loan defaults. The party typically supports measures that aim to alleviate financial pressures on individuals, suggesting a preference for solutions that do not involve penalizing educational institutions.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While the SDP might see some merit in holding for-profit universities accountable due to their commercial nature and potential for exploiting students, the party's general philosophy of supporting public welfare and education suggests a preference for systemic solutions over punitive measures targeted at specific types of institutions.

Disagree

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

While the idea of making liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered might seem like a middle ground, the SDP is likely to view this as still unfairly punitive towards educational institutions and misaligned with their broader goals of making education more accessible and less financially burdensome.

Strongly disagree

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

The SDP's focus on social welfare and reducing inequality suggests that it would disagree with the notion that it is solely the student's responsibility to manage their financial outcome after pursuing higher education. The party likely supports more collective approaches to addressing the challenges of student debt.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) of Japan, with its progressive stance on social welfare and education, is unlikely to support a policy that places financial accountability on universities for the default of student loans by graduates in lower income jobs. The SDP generally advocates for policies that reduce the financial burden on students rather than penalize educational institutions.
