Recommendation
UA recommends that the Government:
- establish a working group which will look at the following to ensure an appropriate program within current constraints:
» purpose of the program
» the nature of the value proposition to students
» funding arrangements including flow of funds, and
» implementation issues such as accreditation and legislative requirements.
