    پیش فرض تحصیل در استرالیا تحت تاثیر بودجه ریاضتی سال 2014-2015

    Dear Students and Staff,


    The 2014-15 Federal Budget, the first from the Abbott Government, is ambitious and is likely to be far-reaching with sweeping changes for all of us – as students, as staff
    and for the communities Deakin serves.

    Some will believe the changes are long overdue, others will be horrified. But we know, especially from our experience in Geelong that we now live in a very fast moving and globally connected world and change is essential if Australia is to prosper and be a force for innovation, for public good and for the values and activities that are in our national interest.

    And so my first point is that this Budget statement is not the end of life as we know it. No Budget ever is. We do, however, need to carefully consider the implication of the matters that affect us.

    Our current and future students will be concerned about fee deregulation, what that means for their futures and how they will manage; our staff will be equally concerned about what competition from the private providers actually means, how research funding will fare and what the implications are for the future of the academy if PhD students are required to pay fees. And we need to think of these matters in the context of the other implications for all of us as citizens of Australia. These matters are connected.

    It is true that we argued against additional fee deregulation. We lobbied for consistent investment in higher education. And we remain convinced that a world class and equitable higher education system requires strong and consistent policy and long term Government investment.

    Our responsibility now is to respond to the new reality we confront. There are definitely challenges in the Budget, but there are also opportunities and we will begin developing a coordinated, longer-term strategy and continue to contribute to the national discussion on the shape of things to come.

    I will keep you all involved as always through my emails, and through consultation of the options available to us. We will continue to hold true to our promise which in just 40 years has taken us from a green field site to a ranking of 59 globally amongst those universities under 50 years old. Take heart from what we have achieved, be confident that we can make our own opportunities and that while change is now the only constant, we will find the path that enables us to meet the challenges and do what we do best: provide education for the jobs of the future and research that makes a difference to the communities we serve.

    For those of you who wish to have the detail, it is attached below, or you can go to the Government’s website (see Budget Paper No. 2, ‘Education’) or the Universities Australia website for a good summary of the issues:
    http://www.budget.gov.au/2014-15/index.htm
    https://www.universitiesaustralia.edu.au/

    The Budget headlines relevant to higher education are as follows:

    Education
    · The demand driven system will be expanded to sub-bachelor places and non-university higher education providers (the NUHEPs).
    · Student fees will be fully deregulated from 1 January 2016 – allowing all higher education providers to set their own tuition fees so long as these are below those of our international students.
    · The government contribution to student fees will drop by an average of 20%. For students who started or deferred their courses before 14 May this year, their contributions will remain capped until 31 December 2020. Clearly this means that our Trimester 2 commencers may be affected. We have taken this matter up with the Department to obtain clarity on what it means.
    · From 1 January 2016, the existing 25% FEE-HELP loan fee will be removed.
    · The minimum income threshold for HELP repayments will drop to $50,638 and will apply to graduates starting repayments from 1 July 2016.
    · The annual indexation applied to HELP debts will increase from the existing CPI rate to a rate equivalent to the 10 year government bond rate.

    Equity Scholarships
    · Higher education providers will be required to direct 20% of the additional revenue raised through higher fees to a new Commonwealth scholarship scheme to provide access and participation opportunities for disadvantaged students

    Research and science
    · The Government will reduce Research Training Scheme funding, meaning students undertaking higher degrees by research, including doctoral and master degrees may well have to pay fees (up to a maximum of $3,900 per equivalent full‑time student for high cost courses and $1,700 for low cost courses). This is an unexpected and surprising change to Australia's research funding and a potentially significant blow to the nation's innovation system.
    · The Government will establish a Medical Research Fund on 1 January 2015 – this will build to $20 billion between now and 2019-20.
    · Ongoing funding has been provided for the Future Fellowships Scheme and an additional year's funding for the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy – this may mean that the Government will use the next year to review models for longer term collaborative research infrastructure funding. If that is the case this presents an opportunity for Deakin.
    · The Government will cut $75 million by applying a one‑off 3.25% efficiency dividend to the Australian Research Council's administered funding and announced almost $169 million in efficiency cuts to the CSIRO, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, and the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
    · Funding for the Cooperative Research Centres program has also been reduced by $80 million and the 17th selection round will not proceed.
    Quality
    · The Budget cuts $31.1m from the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency. This is surprising given the expanded role the Regulator will have in relation to NUHEPS.

    پیش فرض پاسخ : تحصیل در استرالیا تحت تاثیر بودجه ریاضتی سال 2014-2015

    ممنون از شیر این موضوع - ظاهرا بیشتر تغییرات شامل دانشجویان آندر گرجویت ها و کسانی میشه که اسکالرشیپ ندارن و باید پول بدن بابت تحصیلشون و بقیه تحت تاثیر قرار نمیگیرن. دانشگاه ما هم همچین چیزی رو ایمیل کرد ولی با لحن امیدوارانه تر و بهتر
    Dear students
    The speculation is finally over, and we now have a picture of what the Budget means for our universities. I know many of you will be deeply concerned about the changes and what it means for you and your peers. I want to share my thoughts on the announcement and reassure you that the University of Adelaide is committed to supporting all of our students as we navigate these new reforms.
    Firstly, the Budget outlines plans to dramatically expand the government-supported options (i.e. Commonwealth Supported Places) for students to include both public and private institutions. My hope is that this will gradually enrich and transform the national education landscape with much wider choices, as well as with better resources to give you the robust consumer information you need to decide the right place to study.

    The extending of Government support to students from low socio-economic backgrounds will help thousands of disadvantaged students to prepare for university study through funded diplomas and associate degrees, instead of at their private expense, as at present. This will lead to increased opportunity for those students to go on to study at universities like Adelaide, with the skills they need to succeed academically. The University of Adelaide has a proud history of welcoming such students: among the Group of Eight universities, we have the highest number of students from a disadvantaged background and this is a commitment we have enshrined in our Strategic Plan: Beacon of Enlightenment.
    We are of course all pleased the demand-driven system will remain—its equity and fairness is one of the most admired parts of Australian education. But Commonwealth figures show that, if left as it was for much longer, it would have spiralled out of control. Making it more manageable involves the most controversial and unpopular part of the Budget announcement--the changes to incurring and repaying HELP loans.
    Lowering the HELP repayment threshold slightly to $50,638 means repayment sooner for some. However it is the raising of student contributions which will be the greatest challenge. I recognise that this will cause widespread concern. As I understand it, no student enrolled now will face this change: you have until 2020 to finish your current degree under the existing arrangements. And while the aim is to avoid a collapse of public support for a rapidly enlarging national HELP debt, it will be felt hard by our current and future student body.
    Finally, the deregulation of fees was always going to be the logical next stage for university reform. Again, this will only impact students who are new from 2016. Some degrees will likely start to be offered at a discount, while others will be more expensive, as price competition takes hold.
    I am acutely aware of your concerns in response to these proposed changes. Over the coming weeks, we’ll undertake a more comprehensive analysis of the Budget and the implications for you. And remember, the Budget still needs to work its way through the Senate. I will keep you informed as this national debate progresses.

    امروز قرار بود تونی ابوت به دانشگاه ما بیاد برای افتتاح یک مرکز تحقیقاتی جدید و مثل اینکه قرار بوده دانشجویان دامستیک برنامه اعتراضی ترتیب بدن برای این کاهش بودجه تحصیلی. بنا به دلایل نا معلومی تونی ابوت به دانشگاه نیومد امروز. ظاهرا وزیر آموزش استرالیا دیروز در یکی از دانشگاه های شهر ملبورن باهاش برخورد بدی کردن! و احتمالا توی ابوت واسه همین امروز برای افتتاح پروژه نیوومده: http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...d-safety-fears
    دیروز هم برای اینکه صدای دانشجوهای خارجی در نیاد این اطمینان رو به دانشجو ها دادن!:
    Dear Deakin international student,

    I am writing to reassure you that Deakin’s international student fees will NOT be affected by changes proposed in last week's Federal budget. The budget changes relate only to charges applied to Australian national students and have no impact on international student fees or any aspect of your education with us.

    Deakin University offers world-class education at a fair price to students from over 100 countries, and we will continue to do so in the future. Our international fee policy is to index at about the annual rate of inflation. This will not change.

    The financial plans that you and your families have made to undertake your studies with Deakin also do not need to change.
