Job cuts across education services
Paul Murray reveals the Government has announced TAFE fees will rise by almost 10% while funding for independent schools will be capped for 4 years. 1,800 jobs will go including 800 TAFE positions.

Funding will be redirected from TAFE programs that have not attracted large numbers of students, like sculpture and ceramics courses, to more popular courses such as graphic design.
This means students attending TAFE will pay $44 extra for certificate one and two courses and an extra $150 for advanced diplomas.

Tafe has been an overstaffed bureaucracy for years and damned years. Bring on the cuts. Then focus on the wider NSW public service including City Rail. Note all the smokers standing around all day long in their SickieRail Uniforms smoking themselves stupid on the eastern upper pavillion of central railway station just outside the paper shop and eateries there.. Hmmmmm.
