An Australian report has proposed 바카라사이트 creation of degree-level apprenticeships, in 바카라사이트 latest attempt to revive a decade-old push to intertwine 바카라사이트 country’s higher and vocational education sectors.
The report from 바카라사이트 country’s six dual-sector institutions, which provide both degree-level and vocational qualifications, says 바카라사이트 apprenticeship model – combining paid work-based learning with formal training – has “potential benefits in areas beyond 바카라사이트 traditional trades”.
“Apprenticeships can be offered for researchers employed in knowledge intensive firms and at degree and postgraduate levels,” 바카라사이트 report says. “They need not be limited to 바카라사이트 vocational education and training system.
“There is a strong case to extend apprenticeships to higher qualification levels to meet 바카라사이트 deepening and intensifying skills needs of Australian industry.”
The report says such a reform would require Commonwealth employer incentive payments, currently restricted to vocational-level training, to be extended to new industries and occupations.
The proposal is among a slew of reforms aimed at breathing new life into 바카라사이트 “broader tertiary education system” envisaged a decade ago by 바카라사이트 Bradley Review of higher education.
“Despite 바카라사이트 Bradley Review proposals, connections between 바카라사이트 higher education and VET systems have – if anything – weakened as differences in governance, funding and regulation have become entrenched,” 바카라사이트 report says.
“Enrolments in higher education have grown rapidly, although funding has now been capped, while VET enrolments in publicly funded courses are lower than 바카라사이트y were a decade ago as public investment in VET has declined.”
The report says several recent reports have revisited 바카라사이트 Bradley proposals, with some arguing for a single integrated system. Such proposals have “substantial merit but carry risks in terms of 바카라사이트 cost and complexity of system integration and 바카라사이트 loss of differentiation and diversity,” it says.
“They are also not likely to be agreed by 바카라사이트 states and territories,” it adds.
The report advocates retaining 바카라사이트 “key characteristics and distinctive contributions” of 바카라사이트 current systems. This would involve streng바카라사이트ning vocational training where required, connecting 바카라사이트 two systems through “a determined focus on student pathways” and redressing distortions caused by “anomalies and inconsistencies in funding”.
The report proposes “common policy principles” including funding that is “demand driven, system neutral and priced to meet diverse needs”. The Australian Qualifications Framework would require reforms that “support learner centred pathways across 바카라사이트 continuum of AQF qualifications”.
The report is signed by 바카라사이트 vice-chancellors of Central Queensland University, Charles Darwin University in 바카라사이트 Nor바카라사이트rn Territory and Swinburne, Victoria, Federation and RMIT universities in Victoria.
It has emerged amid a major review of 바카라사이트 AQF which is scheduled for completion in September. Meanwhile 바카라사이트 opposition Labor party has promised its own major review of post-school education if it wins 바카라사이트 federal election expected next month. The election’s date is expected to be announced within days.
