	Technical and Further Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Australia, Technical and Further Education or TAFE institutions are those which offer a wide range of tertiary education and training, generally in vocational fields (such as hospitality, tourism, construction, woodwork, secretarial skills, community work), often at a level of difficulty below that of a corresponding or related higher education course.
		This is in contrast to the higher education sector, which is mainly funded by the Federal Government, and whose universities are owned by the state governments.
		Most TAFE study can count towards attaining a degree of some sort, but allowing TAFEs to fully complete higher education courses and then issue degrees in their own name is very new and further removes the line between what makes a tertiary instition a university or a TAFE.

	Further education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Further education is post-secondary education (in addition to that received at secondary school).
		Higher education (also known as tertiary education), is education at a higher level than further education.
		The LSC has a particular mission to improve and expand further education provision, driven by the UK government's desire to increase standards in post-16 student retention and achievement, particularly in skills-based vocational provision in FE colleges.

	Technical and Further Education
		On 15 November 1889 the Board was dissolved by proclamation and technical education was transferred to the control of the Minister of Public Instruction (later designated Education) to be administered through the Technical Education Branch of the Department.
		Under the Technical Education and New South Wales University of Technology Act, 1949, a separate Department of Technical Education, administered by a Director, was established under the control of the Minister for Education.
		The Technical and Further Education Act of 1974 repealed the 1949 Act and constituted a Department of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) and a Council of Technical and Further Education with a similar composition and role to the Advisory Council which it replaced.

	AVCC Submission into the inquiry into the appropriate roles of Institutions of Technical and Further Education - Policy ...
		Technical and Further Education (TAFE) colleges are the primary providers of publicly funded vocational education and training.
		The AVCC believes that TAFE should remain as a substantial provider of further and technical education in Australia and that funding should be ensured to enable it to meet its community service and equity obligations.
		TAFE awards are based on the acquisition of certain competencies required by a particular industry, thereby ensuring employers that certificated persons trained to standards defined by that industry.

	Australia: State Labor government tries to hide cuts to Technical and Further Education
		Already, over the past decade, TAFE operations have been increasingly privatised, as part of a wider drive to replace the public provision of tertiary education with a contracted-out system of “user-pays”.
		Funding for vocational education, generated by the national government, is allocated to the states on the basis of so-called benchmarking.
		The executive of the union's TAFE branch estimates the cuts in real terms to be $67 million, because the government has demanded a student enrolment increase of 10,700, to be funded through staff cuts, increased class sizes and other cuts to services.

		TAFE in Australia is Government-funded and guaranteed, with TAFE authorities in all Australian States and Territories working together to structure network of vocational training which not only meets the needs of industry but also gives people immediately useable skills which will win them jobs.
		In overseas countries, TAFE is negotiating with polytechnics, ministries of education, universities, employing authorities and professional associations to ensure that the TAFE qualifications gained by international graduates are officially recognised in their home countries.

		Examines the need to retain higher proportions of young people in education and training and suggests that this can be accomplished by offering students a range of postcompulsory options and pathways that are suited to their different interests and needs.
		Because lifelong learning is a critical component of today's competitiveness, vocational education and training requires a learning environment in which thinking is combined with doing, all of which requires a strong commitment from both the state and from individual employers to facilitate the development a knowledge-based and knowledge-driven economy.

	JVER Volume 26 Number 1 - James A. Athanasou and Ray W. Cooksey
		This paper focuses on the area of educational interest and the specific purpose of this study is to determine which factors might influence a person's interest in a vocational education subject.
		Some of these individual and situational interest factors were investigated in a study of 940 technical and further education students from some 20 colleges and 60 courses (Athanasou, 1998b).
		Certainly there is scope for further exploration of the links between individual interests and ability and it is also hoped that Snow's (1968) suggestions for individual analyses of behaviour may find ready application in further studies using judgment analysis.

		From 1997 to 2000, there was an increase of almost 180,000 student places in TAFE throughout Australia, yet expenditure on student services has fallen from 4.3% to 2.3% of total expenditure, and employee costs from 66% to 64.2% of total expenditure.

	NCVER - Sustaining the skill base of technical and further education institutes: TAFE managers' perspectives
		Within TAFE institutes, in which the teaching workforce is older than the overall national labour force, the imminent departure of many teachers endangers its prime asset - its skill and knowledge base.
		This report examines the approaches managers and leaders in 16 TAFE institutes have undertaken to sustain, develop and renew their workforce and build their organisation's knowledge.
		It finds that TAFE managers now recognise that maintaining and developing their organisation's skill base is imperative, but that finding approaches to sustain TAFE in the longer term requires more attention.
