In 2011 the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act came into being. It is administered by the Dept. of Education and Training whose current minister is the Liberal Senator for South Australia, Simon Birmingham.
The system was allegedly designed to deliver workplace-specific skills and knowledge, vocational education and training (VET) covers a wide range of careers and industries, including trade and office work, retail, hospitality and technology.
It wasn't too long before government-owned Technical and Further Education (TAFE) colleges/institutes across Australia began to complain they were being starved of funding and courses in order to feed this new education strategy and private ‘colleges’ began to multiply swiftly.
Every so often one of these dodgy private colleges hits the headlines and commentators tut-tut furiously and futilely.
However, most private VET service providers don’t rate much of a mention in mainstream media so the scale of this system failure is not readily apparent, except perhaps to the many thousands of fee-paying students affected.
This is a short and incomplete list of some of the more recent private-sector failures to provide quality further education and vocational training:
