LATEST NEWS: PR Stunt Won't Help TAFE in the West

Our well respected public TAFE has been built up over decades with taxpayer's money and provides affordable and accessible training for all. TAFE has educated hundreds of thousands of Victorians.

The Greens support a well funded quality public TAFE system.

TAFE is under attack. Chronic under-funding from the previous government made Victoria's TAFE system the lowest funded TAFE system in Australia.

This year, the Coalition Government has struck a further massive blow to Victoria's public TAFE system. 

In the West, Victoria University will suffer from job cut, programs reduced and entire courses cut.  Victoria University is the biggest provider of education in the Western Suburbs, so these cuts mean it will be an uphill battle for people in the West to get an education.

Around 50% of Victoria University's TAFE students are on low incomes, so changes to funding will especially affect them. Some students may not be able to continue their studies and gain a qualification.

Don't let our public TAFE system be devastated. Tell the Government to reverse the funding cuts and support a quality public TAFE system.
