Why the ATAR system is a poor predictor of student success

The Australian College of the Arts is calling for the ATAR system to be scrapped.

Press PLAY to hear why the system is no longer an effective predictor of student success

Sam Jacobs, CEO of the Australian College of the Arts, told 3AW Breakfast, “[ATAR] privileges one kind of success and it doesn’t predict who’s going to pass university and go on and have a successful career.”

As the world moves towards heavier use of AI, the Australian College of Arts has called for a shift of focus towards creativity, saying “it’s one of the top skills predicted for 2030”.
