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-ne…

Tafe system 'crumbling from neglect and policy vandalism', report warns

Australia Institute report says system generates $90bn in economic benefits annually and well-funded Tafe is essential for delivering the workforce needed for post-Covid reconstruction

Minister @sueellery 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.

We have heard and listened to school concerns & acting on the advice of Australia’s chief health officers, have developed a cautious approach to Term 2. ✅ Parent choice ✅ Encourage Yr 11s & 12s to attend ✅ Cleaning throughout the school day ✅ Review at Week 3.

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

SSTUWA welcomes the slashing of TAFE fees by the McGowan Govt. Good for prospective students and WA more broadly.

What have we learnt from PISA asks @pasi_sahlberg ? That competition, focussing on literacy & numeracy, test-based accountability, driving human capital & parental choice DO NOT improve education. The systems following those gods have declining performance #NT2019LC
