Not only is it unpaid work, students are accruing debt for the ‘teaching component’ of the placement course/unit.

Disgusting and exploitative is an understatement.

This is blatantly taking advantage of many kids who have no previous work experience and are told ‘this is how it is’.

What a joke. I hope it’s fixed with the review of universities and then international students get some relief next.
