The Government is consulting on how we strengthen the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) to lift governance across universities.
We're releasing a consultation paper today that asks what new tools TEQSA needs to make sure universities are meeting student, staff and community expectations.
TEQSA's powers haven't really changed since it was created in 2011.
There have been major changes to the sector in that time and governance issues across the sector have recently come under scrutiny.
The paper focuses on four areas:
- a regulatory system that puts students first
- a modern regulator with powers to address emerging and systemic challenges
- opportunities to streamline regulation for universities and other higher education providers, so they can focus on teaching and learning, and
- a system that supports a joined up tertiary education system to help more Australians get the skills and qualifications they need.
