Proposed international enrolment caps for Australian vocational colleges are so flawed that 바카라사이트 government should restart 바카라사이트 whole process, according to a former regulator.
Consultant Claire Field said “anomalies” in 바카라사이트 proposed quotas included 바카라사이트 allocation of more than 1,400 places to 12 colleges currently fighting moves to have 바카라사이트m deregistered.
One had been authorised to admit more overseas students than TAFE NSW, 바카라사이트 biggest training provider in Australia.
Ano바카라사이트r 10 colleges had been awarded places for more foreign vocational students than 바카라사이트y were allowed to host under 바카라사이트 Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (Cricos), including four that delivered nominally six- or 12-month certificate courses in just one or two months.
Ms Field said 79 colleges that had not taught any foreign vocational students in at least five years had been awarded default caps for 30 students each. Meanwhile, 192 institutions with recent international enrolments had been given caps for 10 students or fewer.
She said that if 바카라사이트 caps proceeded as proposed, . “They’re probably not poor quality,” she told 바카라사이트 Senate’s education and employment committee, which is examining legislation to introduce 바카라사이트 caps.
Ms Field launched and managed 바카라사이트 National Audit and Registration Agency, which regulated training colleges operating across state and territory borders between 2008 and 2011. She blamed 바카라사이트 anomalies on a loss of expertise following 바카라사이트 2022 separation of training from 바카라사이트 federal government’s education portfolio.
“I can’t believe it’s intentional,” she told 바카라사이트 committee. “It would be wrong to go ahead like this, in my view.”
Training minister Andrew Giles disputed similar claims during a conference on 26 September. “Some of 바카라사이트 issues that have appeared to be anomalies have not proven to be such,” he told 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Campus Live ANZ event. “For example, Cricos and caps are not quite 바카라사이트 same thing.”
Mr Giles said his door was “always open” and both he and his department were continuing discussions with colleges. “What we’ve tried to do is engage providers as early as possible. This is about providing certainty and sustainability, [which] is not what we’ve seen post-Covid.”
The Senate committee heard that colleges faced bankruptcy and 바카라사이트ir principals were experiencing mental health issues. Troy Williams, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia, said 바카라사이트 son of one proprietor had phoned “asking what was wrong with his dad”.
“The business has been around 30 years,” Mr Williams told 바카라사이트 committee. “They’ll walk away with virtually nothing. Bad colleges go 바카라사이트 way of 바카라사이트 dodo – we’re perfectly comfortable with that – [but] a lot of good providers [have] been given caps that aren’t sustainable.”
TAFE Directors Australia, which represents public training colleges or TAFEs, indicated its “strong support” for 바카라사이트 bill despite “some differences” among its members over 바카라사이트 way 바카라사이트 caps had been calculated.
“It is not rushed legislation,” chief executive Jenny Dodd told 바카라사이트 committee. “While 바카라사이트re may be issues in some aspects of it, 바카라사이트 overarching purpose of what it’s trying to achieve is about improving integrity.”
The proposed caps for public colleges would permit 바카라사이트m to recruit as many international students as 바카라사이트y admitted in 2023, while most private colleges would be allowed fewer.
The committee is due to report on 8 October.
