NT government mandates performance targets for Charles Darwin University funding
The Northern Territory government will require Charles Darwin University to meet specific key performance indicators to continue receiving public money, following recent scandals.
After a series of controversies, including a problematic TAFE accreditation that affected many apprentices, the NT government announced new conditions for Charles Darwin University. The university must demonstrate that taxpayer funding is delivering measurable benefits for students. Education Minister Jo Hersey indicated the legislation could be tabled in parliament early next year.
Why it matters
Taxpayer funds for the university will be contingent on proven student outcomes, affecting education quality in the NT.
