Funding cuts for Pacific and Māori polytech students

Education advocates have said a government decision to remove special funding for Pacific and Māori students in vocational courses harks back to the days of a one-size-fits all education model. The funding cut applies to a per-student subsidy for Pacific and Māori enrolments at poytechnics and private training institutions. It is used to help fund dedicated support services for these students. Teuila Fuatai reports.
