Developments in this area are critical to New Zealand’s future development, as Pacific peoples as a group will provide a significant contribution to our economy and society. During the period of this STEP, it will be important to further develop partnerships between tertiary system providers, agencies and Pacific peoples. Objectives25. Pacific learners are encouraged and assisted to develop skills that are important to the development of both the Pacific and New Zealand 26. A tertiary education system that is accountable for improved Pacific learning outcomes and connected to Pacific economic aspirations 27. Pasifika for Pasifika education services are assisted to grow their capability and enhance Pasifika peoples’ learning opportunities 28. An increased proportion of Pacific staff at all levels of decision-making in the tertiary education system Priorities for Tertiary Education OrganisationsDuring this period, TEOs should continue to work on the implementation of the Pasifika Education Plan, as outlined on page 51 of the TES. Other key priorities for TEOs relate to Objective25 and Objective26. All TEOs should work with their Pacific stakeholders to develop measures to ensure improved connection to Pacific communities and enterprises and to ensure improved Pacific learning outcomes. These should be described in their strategic and business plans. They will also develop strategic approaches to the recruitment, retention and promotion of Pacific staff at all levels. Pacific providers are likely to be strongly focussed on Objective27, and on accessing the Private Training Establishment Strategic Priority Fund to support its implementation. Priorities for AgenciesThe work of the TEC and New Zealand Qualifications Authority, to build the capability of Pacific providers as outlined in Objective27, will need to be effectively coordinated. The TEC, in conjunction with the Ministry for Pacific Island Affairs, will develop processes for consultation and communication with Pacific communities. Capability building for Pacific peoples will also be assisted by the evaluation of the Pacific Special Supplementary Grants by agencies this year. Career Services will continue to work towards providing improved access to information and advice for Pacific learners. New funding in 2002 will allow NZQA to support the capability development of Pacific providers with regard to quality assurance and support the development of national qualifications by Pacific Standard Setters. « Strategy 4 | STEP1 | Strategy 6 » |
