MCTEE Meeting Outcome

The Ministerial Council for Tertiary Education and Employment (MCTEE) meeting agreed to strengthen the tertiary education sector and its capacity to meet Australia's future demands for a highly skilled workforce. Ministers agreed on key reforms and structures to improve the quality and integrity of Australia's tertiary education sector and agreed to steps to mitigate the current economic climate. Australia is one step closer to a stronger more inter-connected tertiary sector as a result of today's Ministerial Council. The Council considered: regulatory arrangements; international education; economic demands; Green Skills; higher education; progress on equity outcomes; and a more effective Ministerial Council.
