A central feature of the Bradley review was its emphasis on quality. The third seminar in the 2009 Tertiary Education Policy Seminar Series will examine the role of the new agency, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), in monitoring quality and institutional performance in the context of compact negotiation, target-setting and performance funding. How will standards be defined and monitored? What new performance indicators ought to be established? What new data need be collected? What role might future quality audits play in evaluation and regulation?
