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.
We’ve partnered with the Centre for Public Impact and Hands Up Mallee to explore how stories can be used to more effectively communicate the impact of community-led systems change work.
Dusseldorp Forum has committed to tackling system reform as part of Stronger Places, Stronger People – a five-year commitment by community, federal, and state governments and philanthropy to work together.
Philanthropy has the potential to provide long-term capital that can drive innovation in government policy. In 2010, philanthropist Julius Colman entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Victorian Government.
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.
