Interview with Professor Peter Matthews (Part 2 of 2)

— filed under:

We had the chance to speak to Professor Peter Matthews, Head of the Arts Academy at the University of Ballarat and Project Director of the Dual Sector Collaboration Project. The Inaugural Dual Sector Forum being held on 28th and 29th October in Melbourne has been developed by Informa in partnership with the Dual Sector Collaboration Project.


1. How do you see the emergence of TEQSA impacting the dual sector?
2. One of the outcomes of the Bradley Review has been acknowledgement of the need for greater cohesion between Higher Education and Vocational Education and Training. In this context the dual sector is in a unique position to offer active perspectives given its nature and operational model. What do you think are the key advantages that the dual or some of the emerging mixed models offer towards meeting the goals of tertiary education reform?
3. Finally the recent elections have thrown rural and regional Australia into the spotlight. Do you think the dual sector offers a particular advantage in the regional and rural contexts?
