The higher education landscape is changing. We look forward to an opening plenary from two Vice-Chancellors, one long-serving and one newer-in-post, discussing with Debbie McVitty their reflections and projections on place, mission and identity in higher education. There's still time to book: https://lnkd.in/ebKBkyf7

Middle School, Middle Level- these are the people who guide the boys who have to jump as high as they can on every doorway. The girls who are figuring out what to carry in their purse. The ones who call eveyone “bruh” and “bro” every day and as generically as possible. The ones who will -probably- work for a single Starburst, or any type of food… The ones who still need recess every day even if the school doesn’t schedule it, because kinetic energy is still all over the place… when they act awake after 9am. The ones who can change the smell of a room in 3.5 seconds. The ones who are too cool and are too silly- within five minutes and back again. The ones who sometimes have the self-control of a gnat, and then have startlingly profound awareness. The ones who are both mean and kind on the same day. The ones whose brains are neuro-organizing all the files in new places and they forget everything and all their stuff. The ones whose energy could power the world, just like Monsters Inc. The ones who take a special kind of teacher to *get* them. They’re not just smaller high schoolers. Hats 🎩 Off to the Middle Level Educators.

The Australian government's ambitious pursuit of education reform transcends the realm of economic prosperity, delving deep into the essence of national greatness. It is driven by a resolute vision to construct an intellectual empire, where the power of knowledge reigns supreme and enlightened individuals lead with sagacity and rectitude. These comprehensive reforms stand as a testament to the government's single-minded devotion to fostering an erudite society founded on inclusivity, equity, and unparalleled excellence. At the heart of these transformative reforms lies an iron-will dedication to accessibility, recognizing that education is the cornerstone of societal empowerment. By dismantling barriers and expanding opportunities, the government endeavors to level the playing field, empowering individuals from all walks of life to unleash their boundless potential and contribute meaningfully to the nation's advancement. Safety, too, emerges as an indomitable pillar within the purview of these reforms. The government's steely commitment to creating a nurturing and secure learning environment, free from discrimination, harassment, and prejudice, is emblematic of its profound understanding that a safe and inclusive educational ecosystem is sine qua non for the holistic development of students and the cultivation of a thriving intellectual community. Moreover, these reforms bear testament to the government's recognition of the irrefutable significance of regional areas in the tapestry of the nation. Historically marginalized, these communities have been bereft of quality education and resources. By expanding educational opportunities in these regions, the government seeks to bridge the chasm of inequality, ensuring that no student is left languishing on the periphery. This strategic investment not only empowers regional communities but also harnesses their untapped potential, driving economic growth and fostering a more balanced and cohesive nation. Furthermore, these reforms underscore the transformative power of knowledge and the pivotal role of higher education in shaping the nation's destiny. By providing gratuitous tertiary education, the government astutely recognizes the inestimable value of intellectual capital as a fulcrum for progress. It acknowledges that the most formidable asset a nation possesses is its human capital, and by investing in education, Australia is poised to cultivate a reservoir of talent, expertise, and innovation that will propel the nation to the vanguard of global leadership. In alignment with global trends, these reforms also exalt the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. By championing these values, the government endeavors to create a vibrant and dynamic educational ecosystem that reveres the richness of cultural, social, and intellectual diversity. By embracing inclusivity, nations can leverage the vast knowledge and perspectives of their citizens, effectively turning them into living encyclopedias.

This is great news for Australia Jason Clare MP. However, much of the systemic institutional change for regional and rural institutions is currently not clearly articulated. Discussion/ consultation currently seems to position the elite giant metropolitan universities - again. They are mobilising rapidly because they have the financial capability to do that (despite claims of financial distress). Evidence behaviour not words in that regard. Our fear is that a primary driver is access to revenue and a pipeline of selected best quality students from the bush. There is urgency to start a deep conversation with those delivering and headquartered in regions now. We are the universities you seek. Our long run historical statistics of access and inclusion make this abundantly clear. It is why my university, the University of New England (AU), was started by the rural and distant communities for those very communities. But, we are struggling now and cannot see the current discussion as focussed on understanding what we are struggling with and what to do about that - now. Thank you again for your passion and vision for our sector.

Great share by Patricia Davidson 👌🔝⭐️ When we #value #students, ease their burdens, and #support them today, they’ll add value and make a real difference tomorrow as experts in their fields. It’s a bit late, but still a great and promising move by the government. Hopefully, this will soon extend to students in other disciplines as well. The #Australian Universities Accord Final Report has started bearing fruit. 🪴🍀🇦🇺 #SupportFutureExperts #InvestInStudents
