It might be time for a 'third way' in our tertiary education sector
- Opinion: As the Government forges ahead with a review of NZ's tertiary education system, Chris Eichbaum argues a mix of competition and coordination is the best way forward.
The article from Newsroom discusses the potential need for a "third way" in New Zealand's tertiary education sector, highlighting the current binary system of universities and polytechnics which might not adequately serve all educational needs. It points out the financial struggles of polytechnics, the government's funding model, and the lack of flexibility in educational offerings.
