Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister of Education): Between 2014 and 2019, the average amount of Government tuition funding per learner for vocational education and training increased by significantly less than the Consumers Price Index—in other words, it went backwards in real terms. It increased by 2.4 percent, which is significantly less than the average rate increase for degree-level education, which was 11.4 percent over that period of time. That's why, in this year's Budget, we've invested an additional $279.5 million over the next four years to bring vocational education and training funding up so that it is sustainable and so that we can boost that part of our education system.
