Hello all,
You may have heard of drastic funding cuts to TAFE providers in Victoria, aimed
at treating them as on a par with private education providers. Not only is
this likely to have drastic consequences to the provision of disability support
services but it is likely to lead to the closure of many courses and the loss
of teaching staff. One of the consequences of these cuts also looks like being
the closure of the Auslan sign language courses at Kangan TAFE which have
provided training from Certificate II to Diploma level in Australian sign
language and also training to notetakers and support staff. For those
interested, an online petition has been organised to be sent to the Victorian
Premier Ted Baillieu protesting this potential closure and is looking for
signatures:
