Are High TAFE fees stopping re-skilling in Victoria?

Labor's plans to charge full fees for TAFE courses are preventing Victorians from gaining new skills to help them find work in these tough economic times, Shadow Minister for Tertiary Education and Training and Nationals Leader in the Legislative Council Peter Hall said. Mr Hall said from 1 July 2009, TAFE students undertaking courses at a level lower than their current qualification will be charged full course costs.
