at schools all over the state in order to determine the needs of each school.
I'm no advocate for the Government, but I don't recall them saying that they
would be building new technology wings (maybe a couple) but would be upgrading
about 200 schools. Don't take my word as "Gospel" but that's
the way I see it.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Do you think we could lobby the Victorian State Government through<br>
the TEAV to keep their election promise to build new technology wings<br>
across victoria? It seems to be an election promise that's been<br>
quickly shelved. Also does anyone know the state of victorias<br>
Technology Teacher training courses?<br>
