Accord union

The Universities Accord final report, released by Federal Education Minister Jason Clare, outlines significant changes needed in Australia's higher education system. It includes 47 recommendations aimed at increasing the tertiary education attainment rate from 60% to at least 80% by 2050 and doubling the number of Commonwealth supported students from 860,000 to 1.8 million. The report emphasizes the importance of supporting disadvantaged students and suggests various funding reforms. It calls for a new Australian Tertiary Education Commission to oversee the implementation of these reforms, advocating for a staged approach rather than immediate changes.
