It\u2019s important to invest in a public system that builds skills and provides high quality educational outcomes wrapped in a lifelong learning framework for the many Victorians who, for a variety of reasons, are not ready or able to go to university,\u201d says Ms Macaffer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople need access to learning opportunities throughout their lives to ensure they can adapt to changing social and economic circumstances, and to the ever-evolving job market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media contact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ala.asn.au\">www.ala.asn.au<\/a> or call 03 9689 8623 for more details.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ala.asn.au\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ALA_Statement_Vic_State_Budget_Media_Release_final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download media release<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Andrews Government\u2019s strong investment in neighbourhood houses and its commitment to rebuilding the public education system in Victoria is to be congratulated, says Adult Learning Australia, the national peak body for adult and community education.
