There is an estimated shortfall of 96 000 bachelor degree completions and 10 000 postgraduate degree completions till 2020.

In terms of students from low SES backgrounds, the target of 20% is challenging because only 19.8% of Victoria’s population falls into this category, in comparison with the national average of 25%.
