  2. Public Technical and Further Education Providers TDA urges COAG to recognise: • they play a special role in the nation’s education system and are highly valued by communities, enterprises and industry • they are making an increasing contribution to realising the interconnected tertiary sector required to secure Australia’s future • some of them are evolving into a new form of ‘mixed sector’ institution, appealing to new cohorts of students and enhancing the diversity of the tertiary sector

  3. Public Technical and Further Education Providers TDA urges COAG to recognise: • greater degrees of devolution would assist them to respond more effectively to government priorities and to industry needs • they are well-placed to impact on the achievement of government targets four Higher Education and there are at least four options available to prudently manage the extension of Commonwealth Supported Places to enable them to do so.

  4. Bradley: A New Tertiary System ‘The Review has considered both why a better interface between higher education and VET is now imperative as well as the broad range of ways in which it could be pursued. While the issues to be dealt with are complex, reform is vital if a fully effective tertiary system … is to be achieved. This will require significant changes …’ (Bradley Review, page 179)

  5. Tertiary: Bradley’s Vision • Equal value given to VET and HE • Recognition that institutions may have a primary mission in one sector and still offer qualifications in another • A shared and coordinated information base and approach to labour market analysis • Capacity for the whole system to provide an integrated response to workforce needs for industries and enterprises • An efficient regulatory and accountability framework • Clearer and stronger pathways between the sectors
