Have your say on the vocational education and training reforms

The Government has committed to disestablishing Te Pūkenga and replacing it with a system that restores regional decision-making and connections between Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) and their communities.

The Government is seeking feedback on proposed reforms for 3 parts of the vocational education system through this consultation:

  • A redesigned Institute of Technology and Polytechnic (ITP) network that retains access to ITP provision in regions, through a combination of stand-alone and a federation of ITPs.
  • Options for an industry-led system for standards-setting and industry training.
  • Changes to vocational education funding from 2026 to better support the reformed system.
