Cuts in the Cost of Tertiary Language Courses
The link to the article below, written by David Reeve, an honorary associate professor at UNSW, directs attention to the cuts in the cost of tertiary language courses through the Job-Ready Graduate (JRG) package announced by the government in June 2020, and enacted in legislation in October 2020. The key element was to restructure the cost of various university study programs to encourage students towards skills needed by industry.
David Reeve urges schools to watch out for advertising 2022 and to bring it to the attention of school students in key years when they are making decisions about their future studies. He also highlights the importance of spreading this information in schools, to principals and teachers, and to parents.
