I am a strong supporter of public education and a strong, vibrant TAFE sector. I know the value students place on being able to attend TAFE. I know the courses are valued by local employees and industry. TAFE does much to provide skilled and trained workforces in the Illawarra region. And TAFE teachers are professional and dedicated. I will never stand by and see TAFE undermined by any government. It is too valuable an institution for our children, our community and our state.
