Changes to Adult Education in South Australia

Next year there will be a stricter criteria for Adult Education in South Australia. I wonder if there are people out there who believe, like I do, that this is unfair. As a mature age student I have gained confidence, found a reason to get up in the morning, and hopefully stopped by brain turning to mush, due to the abilitly that was afforded me to study and learn over previous years. I don't believe I am capable of completing SACE, but still feel like I had so much more that I could have gained by studying, even if it were not a SACE certificate. I think this is so unjust, where to now, I know I just sit it my house, look at the walls, and let my brain disintegrate! I don't think this is right!

Yes, my 19yo son is currently doing SACE at an adult education facility but it is being shut down next year.
On the other hand I just enrolled in Open Universities www.open.edu.au for a Bachelor of Behavioural Science. It's all on line, with feehelp will cost me nothing except text books until I'm earning $46,000p.a. and I didn't need any pre-requisites.
