On Tuesday, 10 September, Barry O'Farrell deleted Fine Arts from TAFE NSW.
Since the 1850's directors of technical education in NSW took the view that education should not only strengthen job prospects – it should enrich society.
On Tuesday, Pam Christie Deputy Director-General, TAFE and Community Education notified all TAFE staff that from "From January 2013 student fees for government supported places (in TAFE) will increase and Fine Arts courses including sculpture, visual arts and ceramics will no longer be subsidised by the Government."
This will mean the end of Fine arts in TAFE NSW (particularly in regional areas) & the added value of creativity to all peoples lives & enrichment to the community & Australia.
Shame! O'Farrell Shame!
