A new report demonstrating TAFE’s role in Australia’s decades-long economic success story has warned that failing to invest in the sector will destroy one of the primary engines of economic growth, prosperity and equity in the economy.#NationalTAFEDay

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. https://t.co/tkV5vcdxHt

[AEU @AEUfederal]

Benefit to TAFE students and wider society? Priceless!

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.

[Sue Ellery @sueellery]

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.

[Correna Haythorpe🌈 @CHaythorpeAEU]

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

[AEU @AEUfederal]

"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." @CHaythorpeAEU https://t.co/lpH4hRd8QB #StopTAFECuts

[SSTUWA @SSTUWA]

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

[SSTUWA @SSTUWA]

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