The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has developed a national data standards strategy and implementation plan for the education and training sectors, covering the early childhood education, school education, VET and higher education sectors. It undertook the project in 2013-14 to enhance the comparability, quality and coherence of information across the education and training sectors, including early childhood education, school education, vocational education and training (VET) and higher education.
The strategy aims to provide a vision and goal for education and training data, and priority areas to achieve a national education and training data standards strategy and implementation plan.
