Polytechs plan for 2019, but future far from certain

From Nine To Noon, 9:05 am on 8 October 2018

A plan to avert the collapse of the polytechnic sector in New Zealand has been delivered to the Minister of Education, Chris Hipkins. New Zealand's Institutes of technology and polytechnics are already struggling under financial strain and a financial model they say is not fit for purpose. What does the sector need from the roadmap and how quickly does it need to be implemented? Joining Kathryn to discuss are 3 IPT leaders: Gus Gilmore from Manukau Institute of Technology, Phil Ker from Otago Polytechnic and Chris Collins from the Eastern Institute of Technology.
