Future-proofing higher education: Aligning learning platforms with the Universities Accord
The release of the Australian Universities Accord earlier this year has the higher education sector abuzz. The 400-page final report penned by the Department of Education examined the current state of tertiary education and offered 47 recommendations.
Among the proposals is more than doubling the number of Commonwealth-supported places in higher education from around 860,000 today to 1.8 million in 2050 to meet the skilled workforce demands of the future.
Though much uncertainty remains, there was one resounding point throughout the Accord: in order for Australia to meet the knowledge, skills, and research that the country demands, significant changes are needed to strengthen the higher education system.
