Screwed over


A future Australian Labor government is committing itself to a $100 million funding boost to the TAFE sector, the lynchpin of Australia's vocational education and training (VET) system. This promise is outlined in a slightly outdated website. While it mentions the problem of widespread rorts in the VET system by poorly regulated private VET providers, who can charge their students as much as they like at the expense of the taxpayer, as far as I can see, it doesn't say anything about eradicating this rorting. Surely this is as serious a problem as the TAFE funding problems.
