TAFE organisation and funding in NSW : past and present / John Wilkinson.
"The introduction of the new 'Smart and skilled' policy has elicited a considerable degree of commentary about the nature of training delivery in the years to come, and about the changes to the fee structure that the new approach will introduce. At the heart of the debate over the new policy is the evolving change in delivery mode for technical and further education. In the second half of the twentieth century, post-school non-university education was delivered by the public sector. By the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century, delivery has increasingly become the province of commercial providers. This has occurred in the context of an overall change in the provision of a number of government services. This e-brief not only sets out to illustrate the role that post-school/non-university education occupies, but highlights the decisions that have set in motion the recent changes. It also looks at the development of funding for technical and further education." - p. 1-2.
