Higher Education Review Process

Achieving Equitable and Appropriate Outcomes: Indigenous Australians in Higher Education

purpose of issues papers

The Ministerial issues paper Higher Education at the Crossroads (Nelson, 2002) raised a wide range of issues and challenges facing the Australian higher education sector. It was intended to stimulate a public debate on the future directions for the sector. It is to be followed by a number of focused discussion papers, which will examine in greater detail some of the major challenges raised in the initial discussion paper.

The issues papers will be informed by perspectives that have been raised through the consultation and the submission process, and options for policy directions. They will identify some but not all possible responses. They will not make recommendations. 

Papers already produced cover the quality of teaching and learning in higher education, the financing of Australian higher education and diversity, specialisation and regional engagement. This paper, Achieving Equitable and Appropriate Outcomes, explores issues in relation to Indigenous Australians in higher education. Later papers in the series will cover the governance and management of universities and the interface between higher education and vocational education and training.
