Submission to the Review of Australian Higher Education
Submission to the Review of Australian Higher Education
The Dusseldorp Skills Forum, in conjunction with Dr Bob Birrell of the Centre for Urban Research and Population at Monash University, submitted a significant report and recommendations to the Submission to the Review of Australian Higher Education.
Our submission concludes that:
The number of places for domestic university students should be substantially increased given the number of young people not involved in post school training and the likely increased demand for analytic and communication skills.
Australia’s higher education system needs to be geared for the demands in work and research created by a carbon-constrained future.
There should be a closer integration of TAFE programs with university courses.
The Anaiwan language was one of the first to be suppressed by European colonisation – but this once-dormant language is being reclaimed by the Armidale Aboriginal community.
The Festival of Connection provides the opportunity to connect and share experiences, build a strong collective voice for systemic reform and better outcomes for children and communities.
Local knowledge and stories create positive change in Burnie
The whiteboard in Kylie Burgess’ office tells a story about the power of community. It’s covered in notes and ideas about turning local knowledge and lived experience into positive change for the community of Burnie in Tasmania’s north-west.
Dusseldorp Forum acknowledges the First Peoples of Australia and the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which we work and live. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders past, present and future.
