Keep It Public

Given we all benefit from vocational education every day in big and small ways, then we all have a stake in ensuring there is quality teaching, learning, innovation, and research across the country. We’d like your help to push back against any move by profiteers to take provision away from the system we all own and benefit from – our public provider.
