Under failing reforms, out-of-region provision for polytechnics will cease, and that'll cause a huge loss of morale and hope across the sector and, indeed, worsened financial viability. The statement was made at the second reading that the well-performing Southland Institute of Technology (SIT) was only supported by its Auckland campus. That is not true. We have it on good authority that there were a total of 46 domestic equivalent full-time students (EFTSs) in Auckland in 2019, and eight international EFTSs—hardly a large number—and outside of the mains, which the SIT took off Tai Poutini Polytechnic as a gesture, there are very few students from SIT in Auckland. They are not propping up SIT, but I think failure will also look like out-of-region provision disappearing from the purview of polytechnics.
