I refer to the Minister’s recent media comments in relation to the new Department of Training and Workforce Development, and I ask -
(1) Will those Secondary Schools that have cooperative arrangements with local TAFE Colleges to run VET courses, be allowed to maintain those arrangements as they exist now?
(2) If no to (1), -
(a) will those arrangements have to cease;
(b) what aspects of the arrangements will have to change;
(c) will there be added costs to Secondary Schools; and
(d) will Secondary Schools be given extra resources to continue their VET courses?
(3) Will those Secondary Schools that provide VET courses independent of TAFE Colleges be allowed to continue providing those courses or will they be required to direct their VET students to the re-badged TAFE Colleges?
