The NZCTU opposes the Education and Training (Vocational Education and Training System) Amendment Bill.
The Bill will implement another significant restructure of the vocational education and training (VET) sector, even though the reforms of the previous government have only finally started to bed in. This will increase change fatigue in the sector, negatively impacting staff and students. The NZCTU encourages the government to adopt a more responsible and measured approach to strengthening New Zealand's VET system. This would involve, first, ensuring the VET system is adequately and stably funded, and second, tweaking the existing institutions where regional responsiveness or connection with industry could be improved.
