Save Creative Writing in TAFE

I have read a few pages of the curriculum document and had to stop because it broke my heart. The new curriculum has nothing to do with the profession of writing, nor with the art of writing. It has quite obviously been designed by accountants, because no professional of the publishing industry could possibly have seen any value to them in what is presented there (Editing doesn't count because without good (trained) writers there's nothing to edit.) As a graduate of the old course I found that two years was not long enough for everything I needed to learn. The new course has been cut to one year and has excluded all the subjects I needed more of. As a student of writing I can only be grateful that the old course existed when I needed it. The new course would have been a waste of time and effort for me.
