The Cycles of History

A few months ago I was chatting to Barbara Bee, she was recalling the events of days gone by at Granville. I asked Barbara is she would write it down as not all of us knew this history. I am pleased to say Barbara has recorded her story for us. An extract follows:

Despite all this TAFE remains my educational home and it has and still does give me the greatest satisfaction in teaching and encouraging community initiatives.

I think too that Outreach is under-appreciated and under-valued because its philosophy is at odds with user-pays. It resists the commodification of a basic human right to adult education and argues it’s never too late to learn.

So, you may be asking at this point, where’s all this preamble leading to and what has it to do with the present reorganization of TAFE women’s programs in Outreach?

Thank you Barbara
