Australia's new measures to regulate, improve vocational education, training sector | Australia's High Commissioner to India Peter Varghese today welcomed the decision by The Council of Australian Governments (which brings together the leaders of Australia's federal, state and territory Governments) to create a new, independent national regulator for the vocational education and training (VET) sector. The regulator will be responsible for the
registration and audit of registered training providers across Australia. More
than 1.7 million students and thousands of Australian businesses have a stake
in improved quality and better outcomes from the VET sector. These reforms will
help to deliver a mobile workforce with common skills standards. It will mean
employers can have confidence in the skills and qualifications of their employees,
wherever they are trained in the country. It will also mean employees can invest
in their education and training with an assurance about the quality and transferability
of their qualifications. This step will build a stronger national training system
and bring Australia closer to an inter-connected tertiary education sector. A
framework for the new body will be agreed by the end of May 2010 with the regulator
beginning operation from 2011. The regulator will be a Commonwealth statutory
authority and will have responsibility for all VET providers that enrol international
students. These reforms will help cement Australia's international reputation
as a high quality provider of Vocational Education and Training - with a strong,
national regulatory regime. |
