Fix this textOn November 6, the Department
Fix this textof Education and Communities an-
Fix this textnounced a statewide restructure
Fix this textwith details of cuts to 300 teach-
Fix this texting and administrative support
Fix this textpositions.
Fix this textThe O'Farrell Government
Fix this textseems determined to press ahead
Fix this textwith the cuts despite the discov-
Fix this textery of an extra $1 billion found in
Fix this textthe state's finances through the
Fix this textidentification of alleged budgetary
Fix this texterrors. The NSW Budget is now in
Fix this textsurplus.
Fix this textIn a media release on Novem-
Fix this textber 7, Federation President Maurie
Fix this textMulheron said:
Fix this text"Unfortunately for students
Fix this textand staff in our public schools, the
Fix this textstate government's cuts contin-
Fix this textue. Despite statements by Educa-
Fix this texttion Minister Piccoli that so-called
Fix this textfront-line services won't be affect-
Fix this texted, these cuts include positions
Fix this textheld by qualified teachers who
Fix this textare leaders and experts in their
Fix this textprofessional fields.
Fix this text"At a time when there is a new
Fix this textAustralian Curriculum to be im-
Fix this textplemented, when schools are call-
Fix this texting for greater professional sup-
Fix this textport, the removal of expert subject
Fix this textspecialists is appalling.
Fix this text"With more than three quar-
Fix this textters of a million students and over
Fix this text50,000 teachers depending on such
Fix this textsupport, these cuts are grossly
Fix this textunfair and counterproductive.”
Fix this textRegional areas have been hit the
Fix this texthardest, with not one curriculum
Fix this textspecialist in English, mathematics,
Fix this textscience, history or any other sec-
Fix this textondary or primary subject area left
Fix this textin a location outside Sydney. Feder-
Fix this textation noted that there will be only
Fix this textone primary and one secondary spe-
Fix this textcialist adviser in each curriculum
Fix this textarea left for the entire state.
Fix this text“Only 28 per cent of respondents stated they would have
Fix this textvoted for the Coalition if they had known about the cuts
Fix this textto education funding.”

Fix this textCuts cause chaos
Fix this textin TAFE
Fix this textThe employer has failed to properly consult
Fix this textTAFE teachers about job cuts and changes to
Fix this textcourse offerings.
Fix this textJoan Lemaire
Fix this textSenior Vice President
Fix this textThe Australian Education Union
Fix this text(NSW) has notified the TAFE Com-
Fix this textmission of a dispute over the ‘con-
Fix this textsultation’ processes occurring
Fix this textin almost every Institute regard-
Fix this texting cuts to teaching positions and
Fix this textcourses available to students.
Fix this textThere has been no genuine con-
Fix this textsultation with either TAFE teach-
Fix this texters or AEU (NSW). In each Insti-
Fix this texttute the consultation processes,
Fix this textprocedures and timeframes have
Fix this textbeen undertaken in different ways.
Fix this textHowever, the result is the same:
Fix this textteacher and head teacher positions
Fix this textwill be deleted and/or teachers
Fix this textmay be required to teach in other
Fix this textlocations and there will be massive
Fix this textcuts to courses offered.
Fix this textAEU (NSW) met with the Man-
Fix this textaging Director of TAFE NSW about
Fix this textthe consultation process and the
Fix this textmanner in which the consulta-
Fix this texttions have been undertaken. Spe-
Fix this textcific details of proposals to delete,
Fix this textamalgamate or realign courses and
Fix this textcourse delivery across the 10 Insti-
Fix this texttutes including the list of faculties,
Fix this textthe number and names of full time,
Fix this textequivalent part time casual and
Fix this texttemporary positions affected have
Fix this textbeen sought, along with proposed
Fix this texttimeframes. AEU (NSW) has stated
Fix this textthat there must be negotiation re-
Fix this textgarding both the timeframe and
Fix this textprocess.
Fix this textUnder the guise of “business”
Fix this textor other reviews, TAFE teachers
Fix this texthave been informed of proposed
Fix this textcuts in courses which span the
Fix this textbreadth of TAFE delivery including
Fix this textHSC, English for speakers of other
Fix this textlanguages, commercial cookery,
Fix this textfood technology, sciences, vehicle
Fix this texttrades, business, hospitality, hair
Fix this textdressing and printing and optical
Fix this textdispensing. In almost all Institutes
Fix this textteachers and head teachers in these
Fix this textareas have been told that positions
Fix this textwill be deleted. Many have been
Fix this textinformed that they will have to
Fix this textreapply for remaining positions.
Fix this textIn the Hunter Institute, for ex-
Fix this textample, it is proposed that ship
Fix this textand boat building won’t be deliv-
Fix this textered and that a head teacher and
Fix this texttwo teachers will "no longer be re-
Fix this textquired". Cuts are also proposed to
Fix this textHSC delivery, commercial cater-
Fix this texting and nutrition, information and
Fix this texttechnology and a range of other
Fix this textcourses.
Fix this textIn some Institutes in Sydney
Fix this textthere are proposals to amalgam-
Fix this textate courses and offer them on only
Fix this textone site. In South Western Sydney
Fix this textInstitute courses in vehicle body
Fix this textrepair and refinishing are offered
Fix this textat Campbelltown, Wetherill Park
Fix this textand Granville. It is proposed that
Fix this textthese courses will only be deliv-
Fix this textered at the "Centre of Excellence” at
Fix this textCampbelltown College.
Fix this textIn addition to these changes,
Fix this textfine arts courses (including sculp-
Fix this textture, visual arts and ceramics)
Fix this textacross all Institutes will be impact-
Fix this texted by the Government’s decision to
Fix this textwithdraw funding subsidies. This
Fix this textchange will result in huge fee in-
Fix this textcreases which will be prohibitive
Fix this textfor the majority of students.
Fix this textThe TAFE Commission Act re-
Fix this textquires TAFE to provide education-
Fix this textally or vocationally disadvantaged
Fix this textstudents with access to TAFE, sup-
Fix this textported and facilitated by a range
Fix this textof specialist services. TAFE is also
Fix this textrequired to provide basic and pre-
Fix this textvocational education and training.
Fix this textSome of the courses or programs
Fix this texthardest hit by the "reviews” are in
Fix this textequity areas like Outreach, mul-
Fix this textticultural and disability services
Fix this textwhich support students who may
Fix this textalready suffer educational disad-
Fix this textvantages.
Fix this textThe impact of the proposed cuts
Fix this textin TAFE are a key element of the
Fix this textPutting Students First campaign
Fix this textand are being discussed in commu-
Fix this textnity forums.
Fix this textNote: TAFE members are cov-
Fix this textered by the Fair Work Act and rep-
Fix this textresented by the NSW branch of
Fix this textthe Australian Education Union.
Fix this textAll Federation members are also
Fix this textmembers of the AEU NSW.
