Imagine the unthinkable. A national polytechnic system, whose sole objective is to train school leavers in useful trades and professions, and to lead cutting edge research into useful technologies for Australia. A system solely for Australian students; one where access to courses is based solely on meritocratic standards. A system paid for by the state, as a gift to the next generation.
This is what we need; not an enabler to the real estate ponzi. Not a privatised, money-hungry sham of a system, where actual learning comes a distant second to profits.
