A Vote of Support from the NSW Minister of Education, Adrian Piccoli

http://www.detinternational.nsw.edu.au/tafe/courses/certificate_diploma_courses/information_technology.htm


Extracts from Minister Piccoli’s statement in Parliament in Question Time on 25 August

• NSW must have all the resources available to offer training to as many people as possible

• NSW will not sit back and allow the Commonwealth simply to dictate to us what will happen in vocational education and training

• We are strong supporters of TAFE, particularly in regional NSW



Extracts from Minister Piccoli’s statement in Parliament in Question Time on 25 August

• We must make sure we keep TAFE as the public provider of training

• We need to support TAFE, maintain its strength and, most importantly, maintain the quality training that TAFE provides

Practices towards the right (higher “importance”) have a greater impact on Passion and Progress based on the data. Ideally, practices should rest in the oval where there is a good match between performance and importance. Practices in the bottom right corner are potential priorities for action.
