## Resource

Victoria’s TAFE system is under fire—teachers are working an extra day a week unpaid while getting nearly $2 less per hour than the national average. Despite free courses drawing more students since 2019, funding hasn’t kept pace, straining educators and threatening Australia’s future workforce. With ballooning class sizes and shrinking support for struggling learners, many teachers are considering quitting. Experts now call for smarter funding models and matching increases to sustain quality vocational training—and keep skilled workers coming out of TAFE.
