Keep It Public

Given we all benefit from vocational education every day in big and small ways, then we all have a stake in ensuring there is quality teaching, learning, innovation, and research across the country. We’d like your help to push back against any move by profiteers to take provision away from the system we all own and benefit from – our public provider.

Tertiary Lives

Staff, students, and communities must shape the next Tertiary Education Strategy. The government strategy will set the direction of our polytechnics, universities, and wānanga for the next five years. Let the government know what tertiary lives contribute to New Zealand.

State of the Sector

Staff conditions of work are students’ conditions of learning. But year after year conditions of teaching, learning, and research have come under attack. Together we must turn this around!
