Among the key targets for 2019 and 2020 in that framework is to sustain the expansion from under-represented groups with 2,000 additional enrolments from socio-economically disadvantaged groups and 1,000 from further education. It is not advisable to put specific targets in primary legislation but I assure the Senator there will be ongoing reviews and we will make sure there are multiple pathways into the technological universities.
