The document discusses funding for rural and remote education in Australia. It allocates over $34 million over four years to support 1,955 additional students in rural, regional and remote areas studying STEM fields. Specific funding is provided to several universities to expand their rural campuses and programs. It also allocates $24 million to establish 16 regional study hubs across rural Australia in partnership with local communities. The funding aims to improve access to education and support for students living outside major cities through scholarships, internship programs, teacher placements, online course options and pathway programs to university from rural schools. It establishes an expert advisory group to provide ongoing advice to the government on rural education needs and priorities.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

On 13 November 2018 Minister Tehan announced a new package of regional higher education initiatives to increase the Australian Government’s investment in rural and regional Australia to provide more choice and access to regional students pursuing higher education. The Government announced $134.8 million over four years to provide students from rural and regional Australia with greater choice in, and access to higher education. This presentation will cover the basic elements of the announced package and the benefits for regional Australia given that equity matters, providing both an update national on the local regional situation of Western Australia as we prepare to provide feedback on the what should be the Regional Rural Remote Education Strategy to Government (Day 2 of SPERA).
On 13 November 2018 Minister Tehan announced a new package of regional higher education initiatives to increase the Australian Government’s investment in rural and regional Australia to provide more choice and access to regional students pursuing higher education.
The Government announced $134.8 million over four years to provide students from rural and regional Australia with greater choice in, and access to higher education.
The package provides $134.8 million over four years of additional measures that build on the Government’s response to the Independent Review into Regional, Rural and Remote Education (the Halsey Review), the Rural and Regional Enterprise Scholarship Scheme and the Regional Study Hubs Initiative.
The package also supports student growth in five universities with a regional focus.
The announcement brings the Government’s total commitment to regional higher education to almost $400 million over five years.
The measures include:
$92.5 million over four years to support more students at five regionally focused universities over four years.
$34.1 million over four years to expand the Rural and Regional Enterprise Scholarships
$7.5 million over four years to expand the Regional Study Hubs, and
developing a national regional, rural and remote education strategy.
Expanded Rural and Regional Enterprise Scholarship Scheme
The Government is investing an extra $34.1 million over four years to support an additional 1,955 students living in rural, regional and remote Australia. The Rural and Regional Enterprise Scholarships Scheme was implemented in 2018.
The scholarships provide up to $18,000 to support rural, regional and remote students studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), including Health and Agricultural Science at Certificate IV to PhD level. They also provide support for internships to increase students’ job readiness.
Round one of the program awarded more than 500 scholarships to students commencing in 2018. Round two, for students commencing at the beginning of 2019, is currently open for applications (closing on 14 December 2018). The Government’s increased investment means a total of 1,555 scholarships (up from 700) are available in this round. An additional round, of 1,100 scholarships, will be announced in early 2019 for the second half of the year.
The measures include:
$92.5 million over four years to support more students at five regionally focused universities over four years. This includes:
$40.7 million for Federation University Australia’s Berwick campus (VIC)
$30.2 million for the Caboolture and Fraser Coast campuses of the University of the Sunshine Coast (QLD)
$3.3 million for the Central Coast Medical School and Research Institute of the University of Newcastle (NSW)
$9.1 million for Central Queensland University (QLD), and
$9.1 million for James Cook University (QLD).
The Australian Government is investing $24.2 million over four years to assist in the establishment and operation of 16 community-owned, regional study hubs 22 sites across regional Australia.
Regional Study Hubs (RSHs) will provide infrastructure such as study spaces, video conferencing, computing facilities and internet access, as well as academic support for students studying via distance at partner universities.
The Government is investing an additional $7.5 million over four years to expand the Regional Study Hubs Initiative, to support 16 Regional Study Hubs in 22 locations across all states and territories, excluding the ACT.
The Regional Study Hubs Initiative forms part of the Government’s strategy to support regional, rural and remote education and its commitment to ensure equity of access and achievement for regional, rural and remote students. Regional Study Hubs typically support regional students to study courses locally, delivered by distance from any Australian university, by providing greater access to study support and infrastructure. Please find attached the list of approved Regional Study Hubs.
The Government is also providing $14 million over four years to fully support an additional 500 Commonwealth supported bachelor places (CSPs) for regional, rural and remote students supported by the Regional Study Hubs. The Department of Education and Training (the Department) will shortly work with the successful Regional Study Hubs to establish funding arrangements, as well as the allocation and distribution of the CSPs with their university partners.

National Regional, Rural and Remote Education Strategy
The Government is also proposing to develop a National Regional, Rural and Remote Education Strategy.
To build on the Government’s response to the Halsey Review, I am establishing an Expert Regional Education Advisory Group to drive the strategy and advise Government on the ongoing education and training needs of regional communities.
The Expert Advisory Group, to be chaired by the Hon Denis Napthine, will also prepare a National Regional, Rural and Remote Education Report to Government on priority recommendations for action, including advice on the merits of establishing a Rural Education Commissioner to oversee implementation of the strategy. The Expert Advisory Group will work with a department based secretariat to ensure community engagement in the development of the Regional, Rural and Remote Education Strategy. Details of the consultation process of the Expert Advisory Group will be provided to you in the near future.
The Minister encourages us to put forward ideas on issues impacting education in regional Australia, and most importantly what strategies we could collectively develop across the Commonwealth and in partnership with states and territories to make a lasting and real difference for regional, rural and remote communities.
Friday’s symposium will allow us to do this.
This table shows the propensity to apply to university per state. Recently the formula to determine the propensity to apply changed so that students who applied across states were not counted multiple times.
The last 2 years has seen in WA around 53 % of the students apply to universities whereas in Victoria the percentage is 10% more at 63%.
Percent doing ATAR in 37 country schools is 34%.
Propensity to apply to university in country is 32%
Percent conversion = 41%
Participation in university out of the 2016 country cohort = 395/3040 *100 = 13%
Enrolments are low but are there factors such as a GAP year and do these students eventually enrol in university. What can be done to facilitate ATAR students to enrol in university. Murdoch University set up program with NPP funding called Mathematics Pathways to STEM Careers and piloted the program in 2017 through the Great Southern, Wheatbelt and Peel regions of WA.
