TAFE, a national icon sacrificed on the altar of neoliberalism.
Privatisation of the vocational education system has been a social and economic disaster.
Labor policy was to inject $100m in TAFE upgrades and ensure 2/3 of federal govt funding to TAFE. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Benefit to TAFE students and wider society? Priceless!

Minister Sue Ellery there are two boxes missing from your list- one that says ‘staff safety ‘ and another that says ‘principal and teacher workload ‘. You may have heard but you haven’t listened.

Things are moving quickly in education re COVID-19. There are many issues & we are in discussions with Dan Tehan about ramifications for staff & students. This is an urgent priority & we must work together nationally for the best outcomes for preschools, schools & TAFE

More than 80% of students in rural and remote areas are in public schools and they are deeply impacted by drought, why aren't they being helped too?

'Ms Haythorpe asked why the Morrison Govt had nearly $4 billion sitting in an unused education investment fund while TAFEs, such as the campus in Launceston, were being closed due to lack of funding to upgrade infrastructure.' Correna Haythorpe🌈 aeufederal.org.au/news-media/med… #StopTAFECuts

Great news for Midland TAFE- new specialised TTC means investment in public infrastructure to develop much needed engineering skills.
