The Central Coast Greens are supporting a Hands Off TAFE day of action on Monday, October 12.
“This is your chance to do something to stop the destruction of TAFE in NSW,” the Hands Off TAFE Day of Action Facebook page said. The event will coincide with the fi nal public hearing for the NSW Upper House Inquiry into vocational education. “The marketisation of skills education in NSW has reached a critical stage, with TAFE buildings being sold off, working conditions under attack and further job losses in the pipeline.
“ C o m m u n i t y understanding of and outrage at the threat to TAFE’s future is growing daily. “Now is the time to convert that anger into action to help stop the further erosion of the public system. “The Hands Off TAFE Day of Action allows you to choose how you want to be involved. “You can participate wherever you are located in the Gosford LGA, at home or work, on the phone or computer, outside a TAFE campus, at a train station or in your community.
“We’ll have a range of actions you can take, from writing a letter or sending an email, through to leafletting a railway station and collecting names on a petition. “We’ll be asking all participants, no matter what action they take, to tweet photos and to post a square on their Facebook accounts,” the campaign page said.
