4 Background to MEA
5 What is Mining Education Australia? MEA is a national education joint venture between four major mining education providers in Australia. MEA provides a common curriculum for 3rd and 4th year mining engineering. It is financially supported by the Minerals Council of Australia ($1.1 million/year). Development was supported by a $1.35 million grant from the Federal Government through the Collaboration and Structural Reform funding scheme.
6 MEA Strategies A new curriculum was designed and courses were developed. Collaborative course teams. Shared development of material and teaching. Common education standards; Implementation of tools and processes for cross university student collaborative assessment, moderation and evaluation processes. Student exchange program. Program leaders committee. And Twice yearly academic workshops.

27 Mining Accidents in Turkey in the last 30 years
28 Australian Mining Industry Safety Record The total number of fatalities in major mining accidents in Australia is 656! Mine type Coal 397 Metal 235 Unknown Mining method Surface 132 Underground 492 Unknown
29 Mining Accidents Accidents are not unique to mining, they can happen in any industry. The most important thing is to eliminate the hazards that cause accidents in order to prevent or minimise accidents. In Turkey, it has become a common practise for stakeholders to blame each other for the accident rather than examine the reasons behind the accident and learn lessons from it in order to prevent similar events in the future. What happened in Soma and what lessons have we learned from the Soma mining accident?

49 In Conclusion: There is an urgent need for a policy change in Turkey in the area of Mining Health and Safety. The Government, Industry, Universities and non-government Organisations must collaborate rather than throw blames at each other whenever there is a mining accident. Future mining engineers, industry representatives, mine inspectors and mine workers need to be properly educated and trained at highest standards possible in the area of health and safety and modern mining techniques in order to improve Turkey s poor safety record. I believe that almost every accident is preventable and nothing is more important than a human being s life! Let Soma be our last major mining accident
