Tesch launches petition to save Gosford TAFE

Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch launched a petition last Thursday to save and rebuild Gosford TAFE college.

Ms Tesch said the college was under threat of becoming the next item in a NSW Liberal Government sell-off.

The NSW Labor Opposition has demanded a guarantee on the future of Central Coast TAFE colleges at Gosford, Ourimbah and Wyong, after the Liberal National Government refused to rule out privatisation, cutting courses, closing campuses and increasing fees.

"For more than 70 years, Gosford TAFE has been an educational hub for local students to upskill and gain crucial qualifications," Mrs Tesch said. SOURCE: Interview (Sue Murray), 12 Mar 2020 Liesl Tesch, Member for Gosford. Media release, 12 Mar 2020 Jihad Dib, Shadow Minister for Skills and TAFE
