Could we have a list of such schools or school regions that are currently unserved in terms of trade training options? Mr Cook: I am happy to take it on notice. Senator O'NEILL: If possible, by electorate, just a geoshot. Mr Cook: When you say 'unserved' do you mean no children at a school are accessing a centre? Senator O'NEILL: Yes. Where there are schools that are not able to access either directly in the school or in a site created by a cluster of schools seeking the funding. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice. Answer Attachment A lists the schools eligible to apply for funding under Round Five (Phase One) of the Trade Training Centres in Schools Program that had not been approved for funding as at 17 December 2013. These schools may have existing trade training arrangements in place, for example through local agreements to access Trade Training Centres or by partnering with existing Registered Training Organisations.

  • A Description of Non-Government Distance Education in Australia
    A DESCRIPTION OF NON-GOVERNMENT DISTANCE EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIA A Submission presented to the Minister for School Education, Early childhood and Youth August 2012 Dr Terry Harding BA DipEd DipCDP MEd PhD MACE MACEL Schools Department, Christian Education Ministries Abstract This study describes non-government distance education (NGDE) in Australia. It provides an overall picture of the elements of NGDE as practiced in various non-government schools in four Australian states. The study, the first of its kind in Australia, gives a brief historical background of distance education in Australia, providing a socio-cultural context for NGDE. It defines and describes NGDE, indicating its distinctives. The problematic issue of low Commonwealth recurrent funding of NGDE and its impact on NGDE, provides the setting and reason for the study. This issue is described in detail, in the light of government policy, social justice issues, educational equity and the current review of school funding in Australia. A mixed methods research approach delivered findings, which demonstrate NGDE to be a bona fide pedagogy, despite its under resourcing. The findings describe NGDE across Australia, in general terms including: a description of NGDE students, varieties of NGDE pedagogies, its teachers, administration and an array of educational outcomes. A discussion of the impact of the Commonwealth’s underfunding of NGDE leads to the conclusion that this educational inequity requires immediate short term and considered long term redress. Executive summary - Including the findings of the study ………………… ...... …………………6 A DESCRIPTION OF NON-GOVERNMENT DISTANCE EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIA .. 14 1 Introduction to the report ......................................................................................................... 14 1.1 The purpose and target audience of the project ...............................................................
