The Accord provides an unique opportunity for tertiary and further education to take a leading role in shifting the learning system, moving beyond targeted programs for disadvantaged young people and school communities, to systemic approaches that will support lifelong learning, access and participation in further education and the development of citizens who are work-ready and able to contribute more broadly to our community.
To activate this shift Learning Creates Australia recommends that the tertiary sector leads with a focus on:
- Recognition of skills required for lifelong learning, including transparent assessment and trusted certification and credentialing;
- Building new and trusted mechanisms for ‘matching’ rather than ‘ranking’ of students at key transitions points;
- A new national purpose for learning, privileging the voices of young people and those who are currently most marginalised in the system;
- Building new, necessary data; and
- Implementation of the revised AQF as an enabling policy environment.
