Story of the day for 12 September 2018

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has come out with figures on spending on tertiary education. New Zealand is middle of the pack with about $15,000usd per student annually. The US spends twice that, $30,000usd per student a year, almost twice as much as the average. Money is spent on water parks on campus and climbing walls and wood fired pizza ovens in the cafeteria.
