  • AEU Victoria TAFE Inquiry - Stories Submitted to TAFE4ALL
    AEU Victoria TAFE Inquiry - stories submitted to TAFE4ALL The development of skills So I start filling in this form and there's a field that asks, “Are you a: Student, Teacher, etc”. Am I a student? Right now I’m not. Not really. I received a letter yesterday to say Box Hill TAFE is discontinuing their Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing. It says I can transition to another institution, but had I wanted to study at another institution I would have from the start. I wanted to take this course because the course and the staff who take it had such a high reputation; because the course was practical and industry-focused and I am serious about my writing career. If I wanted to take a hobby course, there are plenty out there. Instead I work full time and study part time so I can do something with my talents. This is why I chose to sacrifice my long-service leave to do this course at this institution, and now it’s gone. I never finished my degree ten years ago when I was younger and naive. Now in my thirties, when I finally return to study older, wiser and better prepared, I find my course shut down when I’m only half way through. My classmates, many of whom are fresh out of high school, now find their close-knit, supportive community thrown to the wind. My teachers, all such wonderful, intelligent, compassionate human beings, do not deserve to lose their jobs after putting up with so much disruption and stress over this past year as they've tried to keep the course afloat.
