What the blazes is going on in our #EducationSystem ? Is this another example of #Managerialism going wrong?
“Dr McNeill was appointed CEO in June 2025, but while applying for the role, did not tell the CIT board she was under investigation by TAFE NSW for "serious misconduct".
The controversy sparked the public inquiry, which led to an assembly committee making seven recommendations and 11 findings, including that Dr McNeill should have disclosed the information about the misconduct investigation to the CIT board in a timely manner.
Dr McNeill told the committee that she had sought to disclose the investigation to CIT during the recruitment process but had been advised on multiple occasions, both verbally and in writing, by TAFE NSW that she was not permitted to do so. “

RE: Albo’s proposed YouTube ban.
I've studied & taught students from foundation to #Tafe to post-graduate. In diverse places, from homeschooling to Go8 universities. Not a single one has not involved at least one YouTube video.
Could it possibly be just another distraction to take focus off their irresponsible refusal to act on the results and recommendations of yet another senate inquiry?

CW: Life update - new job leading charity
In early December I am really excited to be starting a new role as Executive Officer of the Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre.
CNLC is a community house and registered as a large #charity with revenue in excess of $1 million, with 25 staff and 60+ volunteers. CNLC delivers #CommunityDevelopment and #environmental programs, and a range of adult education courses. Its primary focus is working with people who experience disadvantage, in particular new #migrants and #refugees and people with #disability.
While I’m looking forward to returning to leading a charity and a #grassroots community organisation, I’m sad to leaving my role as Campaigns Officer at the Australian Education Union Federal Office after five years. The work of the #AEU is incredibly important - shaping the future of millions of Australian children and young people (and also adults in the case of #TAFE) over generations. #PublicEducation provides hope and opportunity that many might otherwise not have. Public education was incredibly important in shaping my life and I will remain a lifelong advocate for the work of the AEU and our sister unions globally.PS: Charities don’t have much spare money, so I’ll be calling on people I know for favours. Thanks in advance 🙂!
