Two similar surveys, big time gap

CMM incurred the displeasure of an official at the estimable National Centre for Vocational Education Research on Friday by confusing the  Apprentice and Trainee Experience and Destinations Survey, last undertaken in 2010, and the annual National Student Outcomes Survey.  The former covers all participants in the system, the latter course and subject completers.  Now that’s cleared up, CMM is still curious why a survey of all VET system-users last happened nine years ago, missing the whole VET FEE HELP catastrophe.
