2017 Training Scandal

In December 2017, following a random audit of TAFE SA courses by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), fourteen courses were affected for small discrepancies in assessment, affecting 630 students that were individually case managed. The Weatherill Government and Education Minister Susan Close announced that the government would cover expenses for affected students, but opposition and cross-bench figures have called for broader solutions such as a specialised Ombudsman or a statutory compensation scheme.[1] This was taken up as a political issue by the Nick Xenophon Party. Close further sacked TAFE SA's chairman. [2][3] All assessment errors were rectified.
