"Decades of research shows how the higher education system has failed to give
Australians a “fair go”. For example, young people in major cities are much
more likely to have a university degree than those from regional or remote
areas. This is despite an increase in overall university participation over the
past 20 years.
The Albanese government says it is aware of such discrepancies. “Greater access
and participation” for students from underrepresented backgrounds is one of
seven key areas identified for the University Accord review.
But how can we move from good intentions to long-overdue change?
The accord review team can begin by making recommendations that prioritise five
key ideas: address student poverty, make it easier to study near home, properly
understand disadvantage, support teaching staff and help marginalised students
get a job when they graduate."
