This policy statement articulates a change in focus for Australian assistance in education and training as part of Australia's overseas aid program. While Australia will continue to assist directly with higher education through the provision of tertiary scholarships, there will be increased emphasis in the areas of basic education and vocational and technical education. Training assistance will be closely linked to the human resource development needs of individual countries. The nature of education and training activities provided under the aid program will vary between partner countries, and specific country needs will be matched with the expertise available in the Australian education and training community.
