Mary O’Kane is asked about the costs and implementation - she rightly responds that there are costs to neglecting education, social costs in health, welfare, security, and wellbeing. Highly educated societies tend to be more harmonious - Australia should keep building on this

Australia can’t afford not to implement the Universities Accord - Prof Mary O’Kane #UASolutionsSummit

Australia doesn’t need 100% of 18-34 year olds to have university qualifications - system integration and valuing VET and HE equally is key to equity - Mark Western #THEliveANZ
