University of Southern Queensland symposium

World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED) highlights the disparities in access to education – particularly higher education – worldwide. The inaugural event on November 28, 2018 will bring together universities, vocational and further education providers, communities, industry, and government to focus on the role these institutions play in addressing, whilst also contributing to, the issue of access.

November 28, 2018 is a call to action. Events will engage participants with the key questions for their local areas, and critically ask for commitment to reducing inequality and widening participation in higher education.

The University of Southern Queensland are inviting anyone with an interest in the future of Australian education to participate whether in person, or online from home, workplace, or classroom.

The NCSEHE is hosting the Australian hub event for WAHED at Curtin university. More information about this event and registration is available here.
