What the government should be doing: our 5 point plan to improve TAFE

We all want a better state, where there is a strong economy and thriving communities - a well trained state where there are jobs, economic growth and our standard of living is enhanced.

Research undertaken by the Allen Consulting Group found that every dollar invested in TAFE returns $6 to the economy of NSW.

This plan is:

1. Invest in services - Government must guarantee TAFE funding.
2. Look after public assets - Ensure that TAFE jobs and courses are not contracted out to the private sector.
3. Plan long-term - Invest in infrastructure for TAFE that ensures a skilled workforce.
4. Back our workers - Increase permanent teaching positions and invest in teacher training.
5. Govern for the common good - Ensure that everyone in NSW has affordable access to a TAFE education.
