TAFE NSW always appears as an amporphous heap of bureaucracy to me when I am trying to make contacts. But when it comes to Aboriginal education, the bureaucracy is working towards some amazing goals that have the potential to fundamentally alter society.
As part of any national project on Indigenous education it is essential to engage with TAFE NSW, it is in this state that the bulk of Indigenous VET students interact with TAFE and private RTOs.
On Friday I met Danny Lester who let me know of an exciting initiative his unit is working on: they want to make compulsory the study of aboriginal Culture across all streams of learning and to develop a unit of competency that would be core across all Training Package quals.
