Higher Ed Accord team invites ideas

Accord Panel chair Mary O’Kane invites feedback, “on the priority areas within key areas outlines in the Terms of Reference for the Review”

The ToRs are, * Australia’s knowledge and skills needs * access and opportunity * investment and affordability * governance, accountability and community * connection between VET and HE systems * “quality and sustainability” * new knowledge, innovation and capability.”

“This process is one of several engagements to be overseen by the Panel,” Professor O’Kane advises. There will be “further opportunities to consider issues and potential policy options in depth.”.

There’s a submission template at DoE, plus a survey, which will give the Accord team an idea of the characteristics of people engaging and what interests them.

Submit your way out of unwanted invitations this holiday season. Submissions on priorities in the terms of reference for the Universities Accord are due December 19, just five days after subs to the Sheil review of the Australian Research Council close.
