Greater Recognition by Industry and Universities of Achievement
in VET in Schools Programs
One of the Board’s goals is to encourage greater university
recognition of vocational education and training (VET) courses.
The Board believes that improved recognition of VET in schools
courses is essential if all students are to have equitable
opportunities to progress to higher education. In line with
this goal, a national project to increase university recognition
of VET was established in March 2000.
The project is jointly funded by the Board and the Australian
National Training Authority and its goal is to improve university
recognition of VET in schools courses for those seeking entry
to higher education. Vocational programs currently receive
only limited recognition in the calculation of tertiary entrance
scores.
Chaired by New South Wales, the project’s national
working group has been negotiating with a wide range of agencies
across Australia to develop a consistent and national approach
to university recognition of VET in schools courses.
