Other Reports and Research
- Improving Selection for Tertiary Education Places in Victoria (PDF - 245Kb) - The Interdepartmental Policy Unit commissioned this work to consider how student selection processes in Victoria should evolve over time to match the broader cohort of students likely to be able to access tertiary education in the future. The Victorian Government has an important leadership role in ensuring that there is informed dialogue to underpin tertiary education institutions’ decisions regarding selection processes in the coming years. This information will also be used to inform the development of the element of the Government’s Tertiary Education Plan relating to improved selection processes.
