- Summary:
-
This report presents the findings of an inquiry by the Senate's Education and Employment References Committee into the operation, regulation and funding of private vocational education and training (VET) providers in Australia. The report notes that the profile of VET provision in Australia has changed significantly in recent years, with the adoption of the Commonwealth proposal for a national training entitlement, the increased availability of income contingent loans, and a more open and competitive vocational and educational training (VET) market. The report also notes that there have been entrenched allegations of exploitation and profiteering by private VET providers. The inquiry considered a range of matters including: the access private VET providers have to Commonwealth and state public funding; the cost of education at private VET providers; the regulatory regime private VET providers operate within; the quality of education provided by private VET providers; any incidents or allegations of non-compliance with regulation and funding arrangements; and international comparisons to the Australian funding and regulatory regime. The Committee's report contains 16 recommendations, including that the government launch an immediate review into the operation and regulation of VET FEE-HELP. The report also includes a minority report by Coalition Senators (including the Government response to the recommendations) as well as additional comments by the Australian Greens. [Background, ed]
