Myrna,
You haven't said which group you represent so I'm punting you're from the
private sector. If you aren't then your heart is definitely in the right
place.
I take it that the idea of changing 7.2 is to enhance the input, but having
sat on over 60 committees brought together to develop/enhance our VET system
it is my opinion that having greater representation from one section, for
example, TAFE or WEA is not enhancing the input but stacking the numbers in
favour of the publicly-funded provider.
Despite protestations that this isn't the case, representation from one TAFE
IS representation from all colleges and State systems. But representation
from one sector of private enterprise ISN'T representation of them all.
Unfortunately not everyone sees this.
Good luck trying to maintain the status quo.
Phil Rutherford
