Reactions to the closure of Presentation College- reminders of the Kennet era attack on public education. $39 million of taxpayer money in recurrent costs has NOT improved results, leading to lower enrolments, then closure. Education in the U.S.- the "Walmart-isation" of public education- continuing Milton Friedman's ideology that frames schools as businesses and students as customers. TAFE and a record number of enroments.
