Overview of the Draft Tertiary Education Strategy 2010 - 2015
The Government sees the tertiary education system as a key national asset, which enriches New Zealanders’ lives, increases their employment opportunities and helps to build a productive skills base to drive economic growth.
The draft Tertiary Education Strategy 2010-15 sets out the Government’s expectations and priorities for New Zealand’s tertiary education system. The final document will guide the Tertiary Education Commission’s investment decisions and act as a reference point for the Government’s policy-making and relationships with the sector.
You are encouraged to provide feedback to the Ministry of Education by 6 November 2009. You can do so by email to tertiary.strategy@minedu.govt.nz [no spam].
In particular, you may wish to consider the following questions:
- Will the proposed approach to targeting, improving system performance, and supporting high quality research, help realise the Government’s 3-5 year priorities?
- Do the Government’s expectations of providers and industry training organisations accurately and fully reflect the contribution these sub-sectors and the sector as a whole, can make to realising this strategy?
- Will the early indicators of progress provide an accurate indication as to whether or not the system is making progress towards Government’s goals for tertiary education?
