About TEU
Pitopito Kōrero TEU.
Our Union: Tū kotahi, tū kaha.
We are a movement of people working collectively to defend and promote quality public tertiary education that is accessible to all. We work together to address a wide range of issues affecting staff because our conditions of work are students’ conditions of learning.
We want:
- 1.
A tertiary education system that is founded on an active Te Tiriti o Waitangi relationship; and is publicly valued, funded, and owned; collegially governed and equitable.
- 2.
Access to tertiary education for all New Zealanders through a range of delivery options that meet the needs of communities and learners.
- 3.
Equitable access to quality lifelong learning opportunities for all New Zealanders, no matter where they live or what their starting point is.
- 4.
Students, staff and the community voice in all decisions about how institutions are run.
- 5.
Working conditions and pay that reflect the time, energy and skills we put into our jobs.
