Australia's largest student survey now underway
Over 300,000 students will be asked to rate the nation’s vocational education and training system in the coming months as the Student Outcomes Survey begins.
Managed by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), the survey provides information on the employment outcomes and satisfaction with training of students who completed some vocational training in 2010.
Results from this survey will be available on the NCVER website in late 2011.

Advocates for young and vulnerable Australians are optimistic after the federal government announced an increase of $4 a week to people on Newstart and Youth Allowance.
Executive Director of the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition, Andrew Cummings is campaigning for an increase for people on the lowest benefit schemes.
He said he was pleased that this year’s federal budget recognised that Newstart and Youth Allowance provide too little to live on.
