The Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN) has issued a response to Strengthening the AQF: a framework for Australia’s qualifications

Key points from the response, the ATN:

• strongly supports the inclusion of generic skills
• recommends that the AQF undertake testing against international frameworks that provides the sector with confidence as to its robustness in international contexts PRIOR to approval and implementation.
• strongly opposes the inclusion in the Framework mandating naming of degrees
• opposes the inclusion of the AQF logo on graduation statements issued by universities.
• recommends that the AQFC provide clarification about the interaction of the revised AQF and the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA).
