Learning and Teaching Performance Fund

The Commonwealth will establish a Learning and Teaching Performance Fund in 2006 as a means of promoting excellence in learning and teaching in higher education institutions. Funds will be allocated on a performance basis to reward institutions which best demonstrate excellence in learning and teaching of undergraduates.

Institutions will be assessed on their performance in learning and teaching using a range of methodologies which may include indicators such as student progress and graduate employment outcomes. The Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) will be working with the sector on developing the indicators over 2003-2004.

Further information on the development of the Learning and Teaching Performance Fund is available on the Learning and Teaching webpageYou are now leaving the Backing Australia's Future website
