"Rural and regional Victorians will have even better access to tailored education programs thanks to an $850,000 Brumby Government funding boost. Skills and Workforce Participation Minister Jacinta Allan announced the new Community Learning Partnerships in Wangaratta today and said they support adult, community and further education (ACFE) providers to partner with others in local areas to tackle specific local needs. “Education remains this Government’s number one priority so that’s why the Brumby Government is taking action to support local communities to deliver more learning opportunities for some of Victoria’s hardest to reach, or most isolated learners,” Ms Allan said. Education providers are collaborating with other community-based organisations, schools, local councils and businesses to enter into partnerships which tackle specific local needs."
