If New Zealand is to make best use of its limited resources to achieve all of the government’s goals, the overall mix of courses offered will need to shift to reflect New Zealand’s future needs better. This requires much more collaboration and co-ordination among providers and ITOs within the tertiary education system in order to reduce unnecessary duplication, including where they are developing similar qualifications and course materials, delivering similar programmes, delivering support services, and investing in new overhead structures. This means a much greater recognition of other providers’ areas of particular expertise in teaching, research and management. Opportunities for rationalisation include shared management and other services, mergers and joint ventures, new and innovative links among tertiary providers to build critical mass around areas of strength, aligned with national goals; and joint research programmes between tertiary providers, Crown Research Institutes, and research associations. « Change Message 6 | Index | Change Message 8 » |
