COAG ANNOUNCEMENT

REGULATING AND IMPROVING AUSTRALIA'S VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING SECTOR


The Council of Australian Governments yesterday agreed to create a new, independent national regulator for the vocational education and training (VET) sector. The regulator will be responsible for the registration and audit of registered training providers across Australia. It is significant micro-economic reform for a $6.4 billion industry, with close to 5,000 providers charging students almost a billion dollars a year.
