A learner's isn't all that bad, and having a regular license isn't all that great.

If she wants to pay the increase in coverage, than she can get her license. If she doesn't want to pay it, then don't let her get it. No reason for you to be paying hundreds for the next year when she isn't going to be driving regularly.
