Call for clarity as TAFE-unilines blur

The Australian, Wednesday,01/09/2010 p23

Notes

*Simon Marginson encourged government clarify TAFE-uni
*Leesa Wheelahan ponited out TAFE has being pushed aside and advise awarding associate degrees
*Michale Gallagher disagree on unifiied tertiary sector framwork
*tWheelahan indicated the AQF's agenda played the big role

Summary

Simon Marginson encoraged the government to clarify TAFE-uni,as there is a problem of making TAFE to supply more  degrees. Even research activity could be supported by differentiated funding to improve if clarity made.
Leesa Wheelahan pointed out TAFE has being pushed aside by universities and schools .And she suggested VET to provid associate degrees,but it would bring hard for TAFE has a compitition with  universities .
Michale Gallagher disagree on unified tertiary sector framwork.
Wheelahan indicated the AQF's agenda played the big role to have  the sectors consistent,as well as makeing VET qualifications concern more on the aims of education.

Personal reflection

In my view ,the government should encourage  and back TAFE ,as more opportunities are available to students which can help them to take their place in the community.
