[Design and Technology] election promise

Dear Colleagues,

I have emailed the Minister twice in recent times over the issue of election
promises and the funding problems facing Government schools in regard to
Technical facilities.

I have yet to receive a reply but he may be on leave.

Please find attached my letter to the Minister. They are my own thoughts and
I would be interested to hear any comments on the matter. It is a debate
that I believe we have to have so that we can come up with reasonable
proposals to put forward.

An audit of Technology (Technical) facilities is something that should be
done in all schools on a regular basis to assist with maintaining proper
funding.

Whatever the Department decides to do I don't think we will hear about it
until budget time.

It would be nice if they did this in consultation with Technology teachers.

Hi Philip and all

 

during the first week of the holidays an audit was carried out on our
technology facilities at Monty.  Apparently, it is taking place at schools
all over the state in order to determine the needs of each school.  I'm no
advocate for the Government, but I don't recall them saying that they would
be building new technology wings (maybe a couple) but would be upgrading
about 200 schools.  Don't take my word as "Gospel" but that's the way I see
it.

 

Regards

Dear Colleagues

Do you think we could lobby the Victorian State Government through
the TEAV to keep their election promise to build new technology wings
across victoria? It seems to be an election promise that's been
quickly shelved. Also does anyone know the state of victorias
Technology Teacher training courses?
