Show Notes
The Government's consulting on a new model to replace Te Pukenga.
The mega-polytech has been running at a large deficit and enrolments have declined.
They’re proposing institutes with a pathway to financial sustainability that will stand alone while others will be grouped together in a federation, supported by Open Polytechnic.
Tertiary Education and Skills Minister Penny Simmonds told Mike Hosking a lot of what they're looking at is advice the previous minister was given.
She says that was not to go wholesale into a big change, but to address problem areas, and let the others get on with running their polytechnics.
