Higher Education: Access and Equity

该项目将在一个综合框架内研究高等教育参与者组合的决定因素，该框架将提供关于高等教育系统中的机会和公平的基本问题的经验证据。 它将研究澳大利亚高等教育目前的资助安排的后果，并探讨对这些资助安排的可能修改。 该项目应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文件、讲习班和在国际期刊上发表的一些论文，这样，它将增加关于澳大利亚高等教育问题的辩论，并使之更加知情。 由于行业合作伙伴是教育，科学和培训部，研究将在动态政策环境中进行。

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.
