ABS Statistical Training Course - Valuing Australia’s Environment The course 'Valuing Australia’s Environment' will be held at the ABS Queensland Office on 1 June 2010. This one-day course provides an introduction to the notion of environmental accounts, including insight into their compilation and uses. The information contained in environmental accounts enables governments to develop environmental policies, including identifying more sustainable development pathways, priority regions and industries. It also enables monitoring of the impact of economic policies on the environment, and greater precision in the development of environmental regulations and resource management strategies. Environmental accounts also allow others in the community, business, non-government organisations and the general public to monitor their own progress towards targets which they may have identified and funded. This course is suitable for those seeking an introduction to environmental accounting. Both statisticians and data users with an interest in the environment may find the course valuable.

This suite of measures was developed in response to acknowledged shortcomings of Apparent Retention Rates and a need for more accurate measures of retention and grade progression.
