This report provides an overview of a visit undertaken to Germany by an Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) officer. The purpose of the visit was to review vocational education and training arrangements in the two countries and to identify any lessons for the Australian vocational education and training system. It provides a brief summary and analysis of the two systems and identifies linkages with the Australian vocational education and training system. Differences between the German and English vocational education and training systems are discussed briefly. The main part of the report focuses on emerging issues in the German and English systems, identifying five areas of particular interest to the Australian system: 1. The extent of industry involvement in and support for vocational education and training arrangements; 2. The value of a national vocational education and training/qualifications framework; 3. Balancing vocational training and general education; 4. Emerging issues in relation to training/learning and assessment arrangements; and 5. The rigour and effectiveness of quality assurance processes. The report concludes that all three systems are grappling with many similar issues and the lessons learned could be of particular importance in the continuing improvement of the Australian system.

In 2015 the Government announced plans (International Education: Global Growth and Prosperity) to expand revenue from international higher education (HE) in the UK and abroad to £30 billion by 2020. The Commission considered that the uncertainty generated by Brexit and changes to immigration related policies and regimes made the target even more challenging. This inquiry therefore seeks to support the Government's ambition by identifying how HE could be grown to deliver the 2020 target. It also looks at the soft power benefits from higher education, such as the role the sector plays in foreign policy, aid and development. The report makes 12 recommendations to support and maintain the uptake of international HE in the UK over the short and long-term.

This report provides an overview of a recent visit to Germany and to England. The purpose of the visit was to review vocational education and training arrangements in the two countries and to identify any lessons for the Australian vocational education and training system. The report provides a brief summary and analysis of the two systems and identifies linkages with the Australian vocational education and training system. These include similar pressures facing all three economies, parallels between key elements of the three vocational education and training systems and the reliance in all systems on a high degree of co-operation between industry, government and providers for successful implementation of policy. The report highlights that the vocational education and training systems within Europe are undergoing significant change, reflecting both domestic pressures and a broader European focus. It emphasises that continuing review of emerging policy and changing directions and implications for the Australian vocational education and training system will be essential. Show less

This report calls on the newly-founded Office for Students to recognise that the funding structures in higher education are fundamentally flawed. They force alternative providers to move towards standard campus-based, three-year degrees. Therefore, not providing better student choice or flexible courses. These factors reduce diversity in options for study and therefore limit opportunity for social mobility for those who most need flexible higher education.

This report reviews recent Australian and European research and outlines a number of issues that can inform decisions regarding the future of Training Packages in the context of changes to work and work organisation, together with new ideas concerning knowledge, skill and learning. The research suggests that these changes and new ideas present significant challenges and have important implications for public policy and education and training practices, and are directly relevant to the development, maintenance and use of Training Packages intended to develop a workforce to meet the demands of the contemporary society.
