Scone TAFE campus sale is concerning for future of agricultural education in NSW, says teacher
A veteran teacher has raised concerns about the New South Wales government’s plans to sell a specialist rural TAFE campus, warning you cannot properly learn key agriculture skills from books or online.
Key points:
Bob Sim has been teaching the Certificate IV Farrier course at Scone TAFE for 25 years.
“This is not just a thing you can teach online,” he said.
He urged the government to abandon its plan to sell the campus.
“If they’re going to do it to us, how many more are they going to do it to?” Mr Sim said.
The only other TAFE that delivers the farrier course in NSW is Sydney’s Richmond TAFE campus.
