Greens present new analysis: Taxpayers slugged $73,000 for every private VET graduate

WHAT: The Greens will present new analysis that it costs taxpayers seven times more to educate a student through a private college than a public TAFE, providing fresh evidence that the 2012 National Partnership Agreement on Skills Reform must be abandoned.

They will also launch their new website detailing the real cost of the private takeover of vocational education and training using data from the Australian Government Department of Education and Training.

WHO: Greens NSW MP David Shoebridge
Greens SA Senator Robert Simms
Greens NSW Senator Lee Rhiannon
NSW Teachers Federation Assistant General Secretary Maxine Sharkey

WHEN: Wednesday TOMORROW 15 June, 12:30 pm
