Background Information
The Tertiary Education reforms are seeking to develop a responsive tertiary education system in which tertiary education providers:
- Have a better understanding of the tertiary education needs expressed by key stakeholders;
- Are able to respond more effectively to meet those needs; and
- Are able to demonstrate that their provision is matched to demand and represents good value for money.
Regional Facilitation is the process by which Institutes of Technology and Polytechs (ITP) facilitate development of a shared understanding of the education and training needs in their region. The process acknowledges that stakeholders’ needs do not emerge in tidy ways once evry three years, and as a result, Regional facilitation is a dynamic on-going process.
The key objectives of Regional Facilitation in relation to tertiary education are to:
- Build a shared understanding of regional needs, gaps and priorities for tertiary education;
- Develop capability at a regional level through collaborative relationships between providers;
- Deliver better outcomes for learners and other stakeholders; and
- Offer efficiency and value for money benefits for stakeholders and providers alike.
