A lot of the 'old' trade teachers got out of the system coz they just couldn't cope with the fact that the customers were dictating the terms not them
As a side note, a couple of observations:
- This is a National forum, but the TAFE's are not, and as can be seen a generalisation just does not work - all State's TAFE systems are different
- The TAFE/RTO ASQA processes of today just CANNOT be compared to the TAFE/RTO processes of years long gone
- If people are going to comment / criticise, they need to consider those 2 very important points
- and yes there is still a lot of very passionate TAFE trainers out there with a passion to deliver the best possible training that we can in a system that is not always perfect (training packages for example)
