<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk201313493">A strong higher education system is fundamental to civil society. The building of knowledge and the dissemination of information is vital to the proper
functioning of our democracy. At the economic level, higher education is in the top three of our export industries; international students have become central to the hospitality, retail and agricultural economies; and the country desperately needs well-trained,
knowledgeable citizens to shore up its future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk201313493">Yet, in February 2024, a detailed review of higher education in this country concluded that the system is broken and urgently needs fixing. The problems
that afflict it are legion, including over-investment in international enrolment, an epidemic of casualisation and the burning out of a generation of academics, culture wars over the content and orientation of university research and teaching, the lack of
sectoral coordination around the national interest, and the consequences of decades of funding cuts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk201313493">In <i>Broken</i>, Graeme Turner provides a reality check for those who imagine the academic life is one of privilege and leisure, laying bare the enormous
challenges and lack of hope experienced by many in academia. He unearths the foundations of this crisis, then explains how the solution lies in an overhaul of the one-size-fits-all approach to university funding, the establishment of genuine full-time career
paths, and the formation of an independent body to ensure our university system serves the national interest in both teaching and research, rather than the ferocious competitiveness of the marketplace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk201313493">Above all, we need to jettison the current economic focus on education, and re-embrace the idea that higher learning is a fundamental public good – and
should be funded as such.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
