“Fierce global competition, changes in source countries’ economies, rising costs of living, negative student experience and poor graduate work outcomes continue to be significant factors impacting on future students’ choice of study destination.” But the report makes a number of tough recommendations to “prune the tree” and address the “persistent and deep-seated” integrity issues within the vocational education and training sector.“This may mean tough decisions to cut back on lower-quality students, especially in the lower end of the private VET market, and focus on market development and recruitment of high-quality students.”
Hill said these “bold suggestions” were necessary to put a “blowtorch” on “dodgy” education providers and agents.
