All providers accessing public funds, whether public or private, will, with the support of the TEC, be making prudent and strategically driven decisions as they position for excellence in areas of distinctive strength which reflect regional and national needs. By 2007 there will be a growing variety of strategic alliances and relationships within the tertiary education system and between it and other sectors and communities of interest. Business will increasingly see the tertiary system as an investment partner. This greater collaboration will be supported and encouraged through funding policies, the work of the TEC, and the work of other transformation agencies such as FRST, Industry New Zealand, Trade New Zealand and the Teachers Council. This emphasis on increasing system connections will have lead to rationalisation of the number of stand-alone providers. A growing number of TEIs, PTEs, ACE providers and ITOs are likely to be sharing programmes and services and may be delivering common programmes across regional and national alliances and distribution networks. They will have multiple and diverse alliances with each other, with Crown Research Institutes, with iwi, with community and regional groups and with industry. All providers and ITOs will have analysed their distinctive competencies and as a result the system will be characterised by greatly increased differentiation and specialisation. The focus on system capability will have created a system that is driven by the need to build quality and strategic relationships, in order to make the best of scarce human and financial resources. The TEC will encourage greater co-operation in the development of qualifications and course materials, in the delivery of programmes and in the delivery of management or support services. « Objective 1 | Index | Objective 3 » |
