What this is about?
The Government has committed to disestablishing Te Pūkenga and replacing it with a system that restores regional decision-making and connections between Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) and their communities.
The Government is seeking feedback on proposed reforms for three parts of the vocational education system through this consultation:
A redesigned Institute of Technology and Polytechnic (ITP) network that retains access to ITP provision in regions, through a combination of stand-alone and a federation of ITPs.
Options for an industry-led system for standards-setting and industry training.
Changes to vocational education funding from 2026 to better support the reformed system.
Vocational education and training is a critical part of New Zealand’s education system. It helps learners to acquire the skills and knowledge needed for work in specific roles and industries and provides pathways into a wide range of careers including traditional trades, healthcare, service industries, information technology, food and fibre sectors, and community care.
Vocational education and training is a major contributor to the economic prosperity of New Zealand and New Zealanders. That’s why getting these reforms right matters, and why your feedback on the future of vocational education delivery in New Zealand is so important.
