It is good news for Australian education. The country has
got eighth rank out of 48 countries in a recent measure to judge the quality of
higher education. Australia has fared well by finishing far ahead of Britain,
France and Germany. However, the US, Canada countries have achieved the
top-tier ranks on global scale. This high gradation is in overt recognition to
earnest effort put in by the authority to bring overwhelming improvement in
quality of Education in VIT Australia
landscape. The Universities/institutes 21 ranking was designed by the
researchers at the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research.
The researchers focused on four chore areas to rate the
countries. These areas or aspects - whatever you call them - are resources,
output, environment and population size. Resources refer to investment made by
both private and government sources. Output is defined by the research
activities and their impact, contribution made by the qualified workforce in
response to industry needs on a bigger scenario of international networks and
collaboration. Environment also figures as one of the prime yardsticks because
it is the benign growth that every economy aims at. Education at
institutes like VIT Australia play a key
role in ensuring sustaining of growth without any malignant consequences.
From the perspective of 'resource' factor, Australia was
placed at 19th position. This poor rank is due to the hard reality that both
public and private sector are not quite benevolent when it comes to spending a
lot on higher education. In fact, the statistics show that there has been
almost trickling flow of money from both the resources for the purpose of
territory education and research. On the 'output' front, Australia has done
well by securing 7th position. Different factors such as quality of research
papers, number of enrolments, percentage of adults having a university degree
etc. were taken into consideration while judging the performance of Study in Australia on the 'output'
metrics. The better rank on the output front has outweighed the poor score on
the resources level and this way the country has managed to get an overall
ranking of 8th.
Leading figure in this research, A faculty at the university
of Melbourne - has said that Australia deserves full credit for crawling to
such a higher status. According to him, it is praiseworthy that a country like
Australia which is surprisingly down on resources, is producing higher output
in terms of qualified personnel. It is sort of delivering more in respect of
invested input. However, he also expressed his concerns that Education in
Australia at universities/institutes like VIT Australia must take a positive
look in enhancing its educational resources so that it can be treated as per as
other countries like Canada. The mention has been made because both the
countries have similarities in cultures and education system though Canada is
only bigger in size. More improvement will surely drive more international
students to Study in Australia at universities/Institutes like VIT Australia .
Along with praise, also came the warning from him. He has
expressed his doubt if the county can at all uphold its rank, let alone making
improvement, if resources continue to be scanty for higher and territory
education. In the worst case, the country may be dethroned from its current
position and may slither down the rank.
