Politics with Michelle Grattan: Jason Clare on the future of education in Australia.

The government has released the Universities Accord report, which proposes changes to the education system in Australia. One recommendation is the creation of an Australian Tertiary Education Commission to lead long-term reform.

The Minister for Education, Jason Clare, is considering the recommendations and will announce the government's response in the coming months. [Extracted from the article]
