Ministerial meeting considers national regulatory changes

At its most recent meeting, the Ministerial Council for Tertiary Education and Employment (MCTEE) agreed to progress national VET regulatory arrangements and promote a National VET Regulator at the COAG meeting in December.

MCTEE also agreed to the establishment of the Tertiary Education Quality Service Agency – the new quality agency for higher education in 2010.

International students presented their findings from the recent International Student’s Roundtable to the Ministers, and it was agreed that the findings, along with the outcomes of the Baird Review into the ESOS, would be further considered at the November meeting of the MCTEE.
