This book examines twenty-five years of the Australian framework for student equity in higher education, A Fair Chance for All. Divided into two sections, the book reflects on the legacy of equity policy in higher education, the effectiveness of current approaches, and the likely challenges facing future policymakers. The first section explores the creation of the framework, including the major elements of the policy, the political context of its development, and how it compares with international models developed during the same period. The performance of the six student equity groups identified within the framework is also examined. The second section of the book considers future trends and challenges. The Australian university sector has undergone seismic change in the past twenty-five years and faces further changes of equal magnitude. The twenty-fifth anniversary of A Fair Chance for All comes as Australian higher education is poised for another wave of transformation, with rising expansion, competition, and stratification. While the emerging landscape is new, the questions have changed little since A Fair Chance for All was first conceived: How should we define student equity, and what policies are likely to promote it?

The National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) seeks contributions from key stakeholders in preparation of a strategic long-term vision for student equity in Australian higher education. It is a decade since the last major review of the role that equity plays in Australian higher education was undertaken, the Bradley Review of Higher Education, and over 30 years since the core framework for equity was first defined in the 1990 White Paper A Fair Chance for All. It is time to take stock and rethink the vision for student equity in the context of the contemporary Australian higher education system and economy. This paper aims to outline the key concepts, challenges and contradictions associated with achieving student equity in higher education in an era of near universal participation, and point out possible options for resolving these challenges and contradictions. Eight big questions are articulated to prompt discussion and feedback from the sector. Written submissions are invited in response to these, and feedback is also welcome beyond the specific questions on broader or other issues of relevance. In addition to written feedback, a series of roundtables will be held in major capital cities and regional centres where these questions can be explored in a collaborative and constructive conversational form. Feedback from written submissions and face -to -face workshops will inform the development of a long-term vision statement, Student Equity 2030. [Introduction, ed]

In June 2018, the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) set out to develop a long-term strategic vision for student equity in Australian higher education through a national collaborative process under the banner of Student Equity 2030 . The core outcome of this process is The Best Chance for All , a proposed national policy statement for student equity in Australian tertiary education. The Best Chance for All is an outcome of the NCSEHEâs comprehensive program, informing research, policy and practice to build a more equitable higher education system. This includes internal, collaborative and commissioned research; an Equity Fellows Program; the engagement of stakeholders in forums and workshops; and the production and dissemination of publications. All of these activities aim to facilitate greater success in access, retention and outcomes for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Student Equity 2030 process engaged close to 200 stakeholders and experts who shared their insights to address some of the most vexed issues confronting Australiaâs education system in the 21st century. This report charts the process undertaken to arrive at The Best Chance for All as a policy statement to guide future developments in Australian tertiary education. It briefly describes the key issues confronted during consultations with a wide variety of stakeholders in student equity research, policy and practice and how they were addressed in the context of the proposed policy statement. This is not an exhaustive report that lists the myriad of challenges and possible solutions. Instead, it focuses on a proposed policy statement, The Best Chance for All , its genesis, and its potential for informing future policy reforms, practice and research. [Setting the scene, ed]

Governments have long sought to assess and reward higher education institutions for their performance. Understanding the relative performance of institutions in teaching, retaining and graduating students would provide accountability for growing public funding, and would also be extremely helpful for prospective students. What constitutes performanc e though, and how should it be measured? To answer these questions, it is helpful to refer to the national objectives of higher education. Enshrined in legislation, the goals of Australian higher education include quality, diversity, and the promotion of student equity. âPerformanceâ would ideally be defined by institutional success against these inter-related objectives, whether assessing teaching quality or the ability to develop thoughtful, productive and employable graduates. The following report does not attempt to provide a prescriptive definition of performance nor of potential metrics. We do not advocate the introduction or otherwise of a broad performance funding model, and we do not outline any specific, preferred version of a model that might be introduced. Instead, we focus on why, and how, any effective performance model would incorporate principles of student equity. Drawing on Australian higher education history, evidence from the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), and an analysi s of contemporary Australian data, we argue that there are three fundamental principles required to ensure an effective and equitable performance funding model. The first principle is to integrate student equity as an explicit objective of the model. Performance funding objectives need to align with broader national objectives of higher education, including the policy and legislative commitment to student equity. Analysis of Australian data reveals variable institutional commitment to the goal of widening participation, highlighting the potential value of including equity of access as a performance objective in its own right. The need to integrate student equity would also be inherent in the design of metrics for student success, retention, completion, satisfaction, and outcomes. Secondly, embedding equity principles in performance funding requires the rewarding of genuine performance rather than simply outcomes. Control ling for student equity and/or correlated factors is critical to isolate performance and determine the value added by each institution. Relatedly, there is a need to develop measures of âlearning gainâ and better understanding of the institutional contribution to graduate outcomes. Such work has the potential to disrupt existing research-based rankings and to identify institutions that are high performing in teaching and supporting students, including those from equity groups. Our analysis of current Australian data, however, suggests that many existing potential metrics are either negatively o r not correlated with each other. In addition, the public universities report relatively homogeneous student outcomes on most measures. Significant further work is required to distinguish institutional performance in areas of teaching, success, student sat isfaction, and graduate outcomes. Finally, equitable performance funding models would be student-centred. This approach would involve including students in the design and assessment of any proposed model, and ensuring inclusion of the student voice withi n the performance metrics themselves. Further, models would provide clear and transparent information that students could easily access and understand, including for non-university higher education institutions. Indeed, our analysis suggests that non - unive rsities include both the highest and lowest performers on many potential measures, but prospective students currently lack much of this information. Unless models are explicitly student-centred, performance funding could exacerbate inequity, partly by providing information that is accessible only to the most privileged students.

There have been growing concerns within Australia and overseas about the way in which economic globalisation and developments in technology are disrupting the economy and societyâfor both better and worseâoften in unpredictable ways. Within this context, higher education is experiencing significant and rapid changes, the outcomes of which are equally uncertain. This has raised major challenges in public policy: the role of education and training in a world where the nature of work and skills are changing; the shift of education to a continuous process of lifelong learning rather than focusing on careers that may be obsolete within a decade; whether current educational institutions are capable of adapting to the changes required; the public versus the private costs and benefits of education; and the changing role and character of equity in higher education. While equity in higher education has seen unprecedented advances over the last decade, there is now less certainty as to whether past trends are any guide to future directions. In recent years, a number of reports have examined the strategic challenges facing the higher education sector. Some have focused on equity, others have incorporated it to a lesser degree. The reports differ in the scope of their focus and preferred solutions to challenges. As change in higher education unfolds rapidly, we need to ensure that equity issues are understood, communicated and incorporated into change processes. This Equity Focus publication presents a synthesised review of 14 reports with implications for student equity which illustrate these challenges and issues, and comprises three sections: A synthesis of the drivers of change in equity in higher education based on high-level findings from the reports. Summaries of 14 reports with a focus on key trends, facts, ideas and recommendations. A synthesis of the ways in which higher education may need to evolve to accommodate and resolve the sometimes conflicting pressures for change. This publication complements the NCSEHE âœStudent Equity 2030â project â an ongoing process of discussing the future of equity in higher education. [Publishers website]

This NCSEHE Briefing Note provides an update on domestic undergraduate student enrolment and equity outcomes from 2007 to 2014, following Koshy and Seymour (2014). It focuses on undergraduate outcomes for Table A providers, given policy changes in recent years to Australian undergraduate education that affect them, including the full deregulation of undergraduate places in 2012 under the Demand Driven System (DDS). It reports on the number of domestic undergraduates between 2007 and 2014 in the 38 âTable A providersâ in Australian higher education and enrolments in seven equity groups. [Introduction, ed].
