TAFE numbers slashed by Andrews government

The Labor Party talk a lot about valuing education, but the reality is starkly different.

Yesterday, the Andrews government quietly released the latest figures on Victorian TAFE enrolments, revealing a massive 14% cut in student numbers since Labor were elected.

That means 40,000 fewer young Victorians are now receiving a TAFE education under Labor than under the Liberal-Nationals Coalition.

So much for Labor “rescuing” TAFE from a “crisis”. It shows yet again that Labor will say anything to get elected, but their words mean nothing once they get there.

To read the figures released by the government yesterday, see Victorian Training Market Report 2015.  The TAFE figures mentioned above are at p.105.
