This project examines whether and how higher-level qualifications for vocational education and training (VET) teachers would improve quality in the VET system. Government documents and public commentary indicate that the VET sector suffers from some fairly serious quality problems. This is significant because VET provides training that underpins all Australian industries. Most VET teachers are qualified only to a Certificate IV level. A more highly qualified VET teaching workforce is likely to lead to improvements in quality; however there is currently no firm evidence to establish this link, as the 2011 Productivity Commission report on the VET workforce pointed out. This project aims to provide much-needed evidence to guide policy.

本项目研究职业教育和培训（VET）教师的高水平资格是否以及如何提高VET系统的质量。政府文件和公众评论表明，职业教育和培训部门存在一些相当严重的质量问题。这一点很重要，因为VET提供的培训是澳大利亚所有行业的基础。大多数职业教育和培训教师只具备四级证书的资格。一个更高素质的职业教育和培训教师队伍可能会导致质量的提高;然而，正如2011年生产力委员会关于职业教育和培训教师队伍的报告所指出的那样，目前还没有确凿的证据证明这一联系。该项目旨在为指导政策提供急需的证据。
