Ever since Catrina did high school work experience looking after children, she knew she wanted to build a career around it. Catrina told me it's because she's passionate about passing on her knowledge to the next generation.
When she found out she could study Early Childhood Education and Care for free at TAFE, she thought "well, why not do it?". "I have nothing to lose." We've made 180,000 TAFE places fee-free this year. Don’t just let me tell you what a difference that’s making, let Catrina.
@AlboMP How does the PM not realise that this course isn’t free, it’s actually tax payer funded?
@AlboMP The problem then comes afterwards, it’s fantastic that the funding is there for qualifications, but how about we pay educators why they are worth? This is why educators are leaving the sector in droves.
@AlboMP AS AN ASYLUM SEEKER, I AM TREATED AS AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT IN TAFE, HAVE TO PAY FULL CHARGE 😒😓
@AlboMP Some of us remember the equity of going into tertiary education under Whitlam. Now we saddle our young people with huge debt to begin their career.
@AlboMP Free⁉️or are employed tax payers paying for it? no such this as free Albo.
@AlboMP Let me know when University is free again, like it was for you. 🙂 Then I might, one day, be able to own my own home instead of paying off my $180,000 HECS debt for the rest of my life.
@AlboMP Given your claims of supporting the entertainment industry, will music and production courses be included in those TAFE fee reductions?
@AlboMP Why has a post about free TAFE degenerated into trolling about LGBTI+ What is wrong with people!
@AlboMP You should investigate child care / early education centres being deceitful with Government subsidies and not passing them onto families.
