We are pleased to share the first report in our new ACSES Data Insights Series: "Students with Disability in Australian Higher Education: An Overview". Among the report's findings it is revealed that in 2022, 11.6% of undergraduate students reported having a disability, with figures varying from 5.2% to 20.3% across institutions. Of those students: - 47% disclosed mental health conditions - 27.3% cited medical conditions - 18.2% identified other forms of disability This comprehensive report provides vital insights into the diverse experiences of students with disabilities across the sector. #university #studentequity #inclusion #disability @CurtinUni @AusGovEducation @gem_epi acses.edu.au/publication/dat…

On Tuesday, @prof_saggar and @prof_ianli attended The Australian @FinancialReview Higher Education Summit. The Summit explored solutions for current issues universities are facing including equity concerns, low enrolments, and international competition. Additionally, it discussed how we can equip the sector to meet the needs of our economy for decades to come. @JasonClareMP @feraldata @ProfSPickering @mscott

In response to feedback from the sector, our Equity Frontiers funding scheme has been redesigned to make it easier for equity practitioners to access support to run trials on their nominated equity programs or activities. Key changes are removing fixed deadlines so people can apply for funding at any time, and introducing an Expression of Interest stage to help applicants work through their approach and, if required, seek support in designing and running the trial. We are accepting Expressions of Interest now. You can find the Equity Frontiers Program Guidelines and an Expression of Interest template for download on our website: acses.edu.au/trials-evaluati…
