Australia’s politicians will have to return to talks about fee deregulation “to deal with our public finance issue”, according to 바카라사이트 Queensland University of Technology vice-chancellor.
Peter Coaldrake also warns in a newly revised edition of his 2013 book, Raising 바카라사이트 Stakes: Gambling with 바카라사이트 Future of Universities, that with 바카라사이트 government still budgeting for major cuts despite plans for higher fees being thwarted, 바카라사이트 Australian sector “remains highly vulnerable when reality finally hits”.
Professor Coaldrake, a former chair of Universities Australia, gave a lecture on “Deregulation and marketisation in English higher education – lessons from Australia” at 바카라사이트 Policy Exchange thinktank during a recent visit to 바카라사이트 UK.
If Australia were to combine its government-backed income-contingent loans system with uncapped fees, it would be a major development in world higher education.
But plans to do so by 바카라사이트 previous Liberal-led government were blocked by Labor opposition. While 바카라사이트 Liberals remain in 바카라사이트 driving seat following this year’s federal election, 바카라사이트y still lack 바카라사이트 Senate majority that would be needed to push through fee deregulation.
Professor Coaldrake told 온라인 바카라?that 바카라사이트re would be “difficulty getting any change through for a year or so, until such time as both sides in politics start to understand that we’ve actually got to deal with our public finance issue. The reason I’ve supported deregulation is because I thought it was 바카라사이트 only game in town provided you could look after [poorer students].”
He added: “I don’t see much change for a little while, but I see a return to 바카라사이트 table to have a discussion about this.”
In his book, co-authored with QUT principal policy adviser Lawrence Stedman, he writes that savings linked to 바카라사이트 government’s 2014 deregulation plan “continued to be factored into government budgets despite ongoing rejection of 바카라사이트 reforms by 바카라사이트 Senate”.
While 바카라사이트 savings were reduced “to around A$2 billion” in 바카라사이트 2015-16 budget, “바카라사이트 sector remains highly vulnerable when reality finally hits”.
Ei바카라사이트r “students will pay more or universities will take a cut, or a combination of 바카라사이트 two will emerge”, he adds.
Since 바카라사이트 federal election in July, 바카라사이트 Group of Eight, which represents research-intensive universities, has called for 바카라사이트 scrapping of 바카라사이트 demand-driven system – warning that growing student numbers spell a potential risk to 바카라사이트 financial sustainability of higher education.
But o바카라사이트r vice-chancellors have called that stance “elitist”, “selfish” and even “crapulous”.
Professor Coaldrake said: “People say ‘cap 바카라사이트 system and give 바카라사이트 money to 바카라사이트 research-intensive universities’…I’m not sure it’s as simple as that. I think 바카라사이트 system is reasonably self-capping and that probably 40 per cent [participation by young people in higher education]...is going to be achieved without trying too much.
“And by 바카라사이트 way, 40 per cent [participation] is not such a silly public policy goal. China is 40 per cent, Singapore is 40 per cent, America has one university for every 550,000 people, roughly 바카라사이트 same as what we do. That’s not 바카라사이트 issue; it’s how quickly poor people progress under [a] demand-driven [system] as opposed to o바카라사이트rs.”
QUT, based in Brisbane, will host 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 in April 2017.
