AUSTRALIA: Tertiary education more forward than backward: ABS
30.07.2011
New tertiary
education pathways data, released today by the Australian Bureau of
Statistics, shows that while Australians are becoming more highly
educated, they're also becoming more frequently educated. The new analysis has settled a decades-old question over which post-school sector is the main springboard for further study. But experts question the value of some of this articulation, with much-trodden pathways arguably achieving little more than VET sector ‘churn’.
The report found that the proportion of Australian adults with at least one post-school qualification had increased by over a seventh in less than a decade, from 54 per cent in 2001 to 62 per cent in 2009. And the proportion with two or more qualifications had increased even more quickly, rising by a quarter from 20 to 25 per cent.
The report, which crunched data from the 2009 Education and Training survey, analysed the educational history of adults aged between 25 and 64. It credited governments for achieving higher qualification levels by opening up tertiary education pathways.
The report suggested the pathways were working fairly well, with 11 per cent of the 4.7 million Australians who’d initially obtained VET qualifications having subsequently acquired degrees.
And a third of the 2.3 million people who’d started off with bachelor degrees had moved on to obtain postgraduate qualifications, the report found.
