Labor MP tells Coalition to ‘stop running scare campaigns’ over CGT changes – as it happened
A new report indicates that university class sizes in Australia have significantly increased since before the pandemic, leading to a decline in student learning. The National Tertiary Education Union surveyed over 4,000 staff and found that larger tutorial sizes are compromising individual student support. The report highlights concerns about the long-term impact on education quality and student outcomes.
- ▪University class sizes have surged since before the pandemic, with tutorials of 30 or more students more than doubling since 2019.
- ▪Only 9% of tutorials are meeting the optimal size range of 10 to 19 students.
- ▪More than 80% of staff reported that their ability to support students individually has been compromised.
