National Charter for TAFE

 

TAFE Directors Australia has released a National Charter for TAFE which will provide a framework for TAFEs to operate in a more competitive environment, as outlined in the recent Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreement.


The Charter will be forwarded to the Prime Minister, Education and Training Ministers on the Standing Council on Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment (SCOTESE) and other officials.


The National Charter for TAFE is based on four principles for the Australian public provider (TAFE) network:

 

PRINCIPLE 1 FUNDING MAINTAINS THE VIABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS OF PUBLIC PROVIDERS
PRINCIPLE 2 QUALITY CRITERIA ARE SUBSTANTIALLY ENHANCED
PRINCIPLE 3 GOVERNANCE ENABLES FLEXIBILTY AND RESPONSIVENESS
PRINCIPLE 4 RECOGNITION OF THE INNOVATION AND LEADERSHIP ROLES OF TAFE,  INCLUDING ITS PIVOTAL POSITION IN RURAL AND REGIONAL AUSTRALIA

 

The National Charter for TAFE was initially proposed in a discussion paper, The Case for a National Charter for TAFE, released in November last year.
