Technical and further education (TAFE) institutes offering higher education degrees is a relatively new development but is expected to grow as a consequence of government policies aimed at increasing the percentage of Australians holding a bachelor degree. This report considers different perspectives of higher education qualifications offered by TAFE institutes, focusing on associate degrees and degrees. The report argues that separate governance, policy, funding, quality assurance, curriculum and industrial frameworks to support academic standards are impeding the growth of higher education in TAFE.
