The NSW Teachers Federation has condemned the NSW Government’s bid to sell off the state-of-the-art Scone TAFE campus in Australia’s equine capital.
The sale coincides with a skills crisis and comes as the community attempts to rebuild from the COVID pandemic.
NSW Teachers Federation President Angelo Gavrielatos said TAFE NSW had failed to consult adequately with staff, students and the local community before putting the TAFE campus up for sale.
“For the past six years, the NSW Government has deliberately allowed enrolments at Scone TAFE to run down so it can claim the site is under-utilised and the sale is in the public interest,” Mr Gavrielatos said.
