Where to now with the Universities Accord? – comment by CEO Jenny Dodd On Wednesday 18 October nearly one thousand people registered to be part of TDA’s online half day conference Linkages: One tertiary education system. This was a pretty big number – many more than TDA had expected when we planned this event at the start of the year. What it shows is there is interest in a tertiary education system. From the comments in the session chats and the questions to the speakers, it appears there is an appetite for better linkages between higher education and vocational education. Starting last Monday and over the next few Mondays, TDA will profile in the newsletter case studies of how TAFEs are creating pathways for students between the two parts of tertiary education. So far, those pathway stories demonstrate that TAFEs excel in enabling students to gain practical skills from vocational education along with knowledge from higher education. However, it is this distinction between skills being in VET and knowledge being higher education’s domain that several speakers challenged during Linkages and is also being challenged by the Universities Accord Panel.

“Almost 90% of respondents to a survey on adult literacy, numeracy and digital (LND) needs have identified serious gaps that result in major barriers to employment and participation in society. The research undertaken by the Reading Writing Hotline shows that many adults face a multitude of barriers in accessing successful courses and support programs that meet their LND needs.” VET teachers in VET will need professional development to help identify these gaps and our RTOs will need to invest in specialised services to support the LLND needs of our learners.

The "International Science and Evidence Based Education (ISEE) Assessment" of UNESCO MGIEP, with co-chair Nienke van Atteveldt gains more and more attention in Dutch education policymaking and practice. And rightfully so. Yesterday, I was blessed to have an enlightening discussion with representatives from the PO-Raad, including president Freddy Weima, on how to get the ISEE Assessment message known to education professionals in the Netherlands. The PO-Raad strategic agenda for 2022-2026 aligns very well with the ISEE Assessment conclusions. Three important messages: - Learning is a cognitive, social and emotional process and should be addressed as such in daily pedagogy, curriculum content and learning evaluation; - Current trends towards summative evaluations and testing do not feed into learning and reaching one's full potential and inhibit human flourishing; - Every learner learns differently, and in order to establish truly inclusive education, these differences should be acknowledged, cherished, and different learning pathways should be supported via formative and dynamic assessment. Our next step, in addition to speading awareness of the ISEE Assessment's findings, is to get funding to translate the Assessment into Dutch and to do more in depth-(literature)research into the Dutch educational systems to evaluate what does and what doesn't align with the ISEE Assessment's conclusions in our country. Suggestions for funding opportunities are welcome :). https://lnkd.in/eURuSJyi
