Sukh Sandhu Honoured with 'Advocate of the Year for Auditing Reforms' at Fluxx Awards 2025
PNN Hong Kong, July 15: In a landmark recognition of reformative leadership in global education governance, Sukh Sandhu was awarded the prestigious title of Advocate of the Year for Auditing Reforms - Education Category at the 2025 Fluxx Awards, held on June 5-6 in Hong Kong. The award honours Sandhu's pioneering contributions in transforming compliance and audit systems within the international education and training sector. Held annually, the Fluxx Awards spotlight global changemakers leading with impact, innovation, and integrity. Sandhu was recognised for redefining compliance from a bureaucratic obligation into a strategic tool for institutional excellence, accountability, and innovation. As the Founder and Executive Director of Compliance and Quality Assurance (CAQA) and Career Calling International, Sandhu has led transformative initiatives across Australia's education sector. His strategic frameworks have supported thousands of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), TAFEs, Higher Education Providers, and international institutions in navigating complex regulatory landscapes under ASQA, TEQSA, CRICOS, and ISO standards. Under his leadership, CAQA has developed more than 77,900 resources and auditing tools, dramatically reducing audit preparation time while enhancing transparency, consistency, and performance. His system-centred auditing approach--emphasising integrity, outcome-based evaluation, and scalability--has been adopted widely, setting new benchmarks for the industry. A strong advocate for ethical and technology-driven governance, Sandhu is also driving innovations in AI-powered compliance tools, blockchain-based digital credentialing, and cybersecurity frameworks. These initiatives aim to create borderless, verifiable education systems that protect learners while empowering institutions to meet evolving global standards. In addition to his operational leadership, Sandhu serves as Editor-in-Chief of The VET Sector magazine, where he continues to influence public discourse on quality education, regulatory reform, and sectoral transformation. Sandhu's recognition at the Fluxx Awards adds to a long list of international accolades, including the Burj CEO Award, Mark of Excellence, and inclusion in the Top 100 Global Educators. Despite these honours, the emphasis remains on impact: transforming systems to ensure education remains accessible, ethical, and future-ready. As education sectors worldwide navigate digital disruption and increasing regulatory scrutiny, leaders like Sukh Sandhu are shaping the future, where compliance becomes a catalyst for innovation and trust.

'I will be putting them to the task': Special Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal demands full cooperation from university executives
Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Jillian Segal has ordered university chancellors and vice-chancellors to cooperate fully with her plan to stamp out antisemitism on campuses. Ms Segal handed down a major report on Thursday, just one year after the business executive was appointed as Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism. The report outlines a series of measures needed in order to combat antisemitism, which it claimed had 'reached a tipping point that threatens social harmony, undermines trust in institutions and marginalises Jewish Australian citizens'. Speaking to Sky News host Sharri Markson, Ms Segal said it was her plan to delegate work for 'different parties', especially the federal and state government, and educational and cultural institutions. ' There's support I will need from the federal government, but also from state governments, also from leaders in society, leaders of cultural institutions, chancellors and vice-chancellors at universities,' she said. 'I will be putting them to the task of supporting me when I need federal government support, but equally I'll be looking to state governments to support educational initiatives. 'I'll looking to universities to continue what has been very cooperative stance from them in moving towards initiatives to combat antisemitism on campuses.' Ms Segal said Education Minister Jason Clare will convene a meeting of education ministers for her to speak to them on implementing a plan to end hate on campuses. The special envoy added she was 'in touch' with the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) about universities and had its 'full cooperation'. In addition to university leaders, Ms Segal also vowed to call out the Albanese government if they did not support her efforts. 'As I said today, when launching it with the Prime Minister, I will be reporting on it at the end of the first year, and if I haven't had cooperation from everyone who I need cooperation from, I will be calling it out,' she said. Ms Segal explained there had been a lot of support from the education sector so far and a taskforce had been established in Victoria where she hoped there would be 'immediate action'. 'I'm hopeful of making progress every single day,' she said. The special envoy added a 'raft' of new legislation was in for consultation or had passed, including Nazi symbol bans and doxxing laws. 'But some legislation related to hatred needs to be strengthened,' she said. 'The argument is that it's new legislation and it needs to be tested and my point is you need strong laws but you need police to do the policing and prosecutors to prosecute and then judges to sentence.' Ms Segal said antisemitism was an 'evil that eats away at our society' which will 'undo us all' unless it is stamped out.
