6 weeks, 6 issues episode 3: The future of tertiary education

The pandemic has been disastrous for Australian universities. Huge revenue reductions and no access to JobKeeper support for staff has led to thousands of jobs lost, course cancellations and campus closures. As the sector remakes itself in this new environment, what does it mean for Australia’s future as a clever country?

Join host and State Library CEO Kate Torney with guests Professor John Dewar AO (Vice-Chancellor, La Trobe University), Dr Katie Allen MP (Federal Member for Higgins) and Andrew Norton (Professor in the Practice of Higher Education Policy at the Centre for Social Research and Methods at the Australian National University) as they take your questions on the future of tertiary education.
