Higher Education: Access and Equity

该项目将在一个全面的框架内研究高等教育参与者组成的决定因素，该框架将为高等教育系统的机会和公平等基本问题提供经验证据。它将审查当前澳大利亚高等教育资助安排的后果，并探讨对这些资助安排的潜在修改。该项目将有助于加强高等教育部门，从而帮助澳大利亚在日益技术驱动的市场中竞争。该项目的成果将包括讨论论文、研讨会和一些发表在国际评审期刊上的论文，通过这种方式，它将增加并提供更多关于澳大利亚高等教育问题的辩论。由于行业合作伙伴是教育、科学和培训部，这项研究将在一个动态的政策环境下进行。

This project will study the determinants of the mix of higher education participants within a comprehensive framework that will provide empirical evidence on the fundamental issues of access and equity in the higher education system. It will examine the consequences of the current funding arrangements for higher education in Australia, and explore potential modifications to these funding arrangements. This project should help strengthen the higher education sector, and so help Australia to compete in an increasingly technology-driven marketplace. The outcomes of the project will include discussion papers, workshops and a number of papers in international, refereed journals, and in this way it will increase, and render more informed, debate on higher education issues in Australia. As the Industry Partner is the Department of Education, Science and Training, the research will be conducted within a dynamic policy setting.
