The ACPET 2013 Higher Education Symposium

The ACPET 2013 Higher Education Symposium will once again bring leading decision makers and thinkers together to explore the most pertinent issues that are shaping the higher education sector.

The Symposium builds on the success of ACPET’s inaugural Symposium, held in 2012.

Higher education providers must be innovative and responsive to the needs of students and business by maintaining academic rigour and delivering high quality education. 

Within this context, the ACPET 2013 Higher Education Symposium will provide a comprehensive analysis of the issues relating to academic governance, scholarship, funding, regulation and the policy landscape.

This one-day event will take place on 18 April 2013 at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne and will be facilitated by Andrew Norton, Program Director of Higher Education at the Grattan Institute.

Andrew is one of Australia’s leading commentators on higher education issues and policy and the author of many publications.
