Teach Out Program

In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (29 July 2016). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills): I have been advised of the following:

As at 18 August 2016, there were 679 TAFE SA students involved in some form of a transition process which may involve the teaching out of their currently enrolled qualification. Not all are necessarily involved in a transition process as a result of a course closure.

Consistent with Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) Standards, TAFE SA establishes individual training plans for each affected student to support completion of their training within South Australia. There are no students travelling interstate as part of their teach out arrangements.
