This could help keep demand driven funding a live issue

Thanks to the election result, demand driven funding of UG places is a lost cause in this term of government. But supporters will need ample evidence to keep it on the policy agenda so that Labor continues to back it at the next election.

Which makes very important the PC’s imminent report on what expanded access to university has achieved; “who is participating and the academic and labour market outcomes these additional students are achieving.”

It will also report on, “barriers to further participation by equity groups.”

It’s expected Monday week.
