1        EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1       Regional Tertiary Investment

      This document describes how the region of Tai Tokerau will respond to the desire for closer links and
      collaboration between tertiary organisations, treaty partners, industry, and other partners and
      stakeholders when developing tertiary education investment plans for the region.

      Tai Tokerau will lead a new approach to develop and test a new iterative investment approach for our
      region. He Whenua is the first stage in a phased approach in 2018 for delivery from 2019. He Whenua
      will focus on the primary industries; forestry, agriculture, horticulture, the natural environment
      (including water) and also transport.

      The purpose of the Tai Tokerau Regional Investment Plan (TRIP) for tertiary education is to deliver the
      best educational outcomes whilst meeting the needs of Tai Tokerau region and its people. Stakeholders
      representing Māori Treaty Partners, Industry, Providers, Local Government, High Schools, Learners and
      Support Agencies are being engaged to collaborate around regional needs to develop a plan that
      delivers the best outcomes for the regions communities, industries, high schools, learners and their
      whanau.

1.2       Phased Approach

      The TRIP will be managed in a phased approach, illustrated below. This particular project responds to
      He Whenua in 2019 as the first stage.

                                                                                                    Page | 3

1.3        Tertiary Education Commission

      The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) is committed to investing in a tertiary education system that
      works for all New Zealanders; as such, there is a commitment to key focus areas and achievement of
      parity for Māori and Pasifika learners. Until the end of 2019, the priorities of the current Tertiary
      Education Strategy (TES) are;

           1.   Delivering Skills for Industry
           2.   Getting at-risk young people into a career
           3.   Boosting achievement of Māori and Pasifika
           4.   Improving adult literacy and numeracy
           5.   Strengthening research-based institutions
           6.   Growing international linkages

      Some key areas of focus for the TEC are:
       Schools to Tertiary

       -    Improving the transition of Tai Tokerau school leavers into tertiary education either through a
            provider or through employment at an ITO.
                 o By 2021, 61% of all Tai Tokerau Northland school leavers are in tertiary education the
                     year after they leave school (from 56% in 2015 to 2016).
                 o By 2021, 55% of Māori school leavers in Tai Tokerau Northland are in tertiary
                     education the year after they leave school (from 49% in 2015 to 2016).
       -    Increase in the proportion of Tai Tokerau students enrolling in tertiary education programmes
            at level 4 and above.
                 o By 2021, 5-percentage point’s increase in the proportion of Tai Tokerau Northland
                     students enrolled in tertiary education programmes at level 4 and above.
       -    By the end of 2022, improve the participation and achievement rates for Tai Tokerau learners
            to the national average for all learners.
                 o This will contribute to the goals of the TEC’s parity project.

       Primary Sector

       Growing key areas of provision and encouraging more learners to pursue opportunities in the
       primary sector. Growing provision in these areas will require TEOs to work together and with
       schools. This includes ITO and ITP relationships for Levels 3-5 provision.
       - Level 4 apprenticeships and related pathways.
                   o Opportunities for Level 4 apprenticeships are growing in some primary industries.
                        TEC want to invest in apprenticeships and pathways to them, and to support
                        learners’ progress to higher levels.
       - Levels 5-6 provision related to management capability in the primary sector.
               o Management capability is critical to growing productivity.
       - Primary sector-specific degree provision.
               o Degree-level provision gives graduates the skills they need to integrate a wide range of
                    technologies into primary industry systems. Interdisciplinary delivery models are
                    particularly effective at building these skill sets.
       - Primary sector-specific Levels 8-10 provision
               o This aims to enhance innovation capability, and enable long-term sustainable growth.

                                                                                                     Page | 4

Achievement of Parity

       i) Māori Achievement:
       TEC has set an organisational target that, by 2022:
           - TEC will fund provision in which Māori learners participate and achieve on a par with other
                learners.
           - Māori participation in tertiary education will be at levels and in fields of study that over
                time, should deliver parity of post-study outcomes for these learners.

       ii) Pasifika Achievement:
       Pasifika performance improved in recent years, but there is a significant and enduring gap between
       performance for Pasifika and for non-Māori/non-Pasifika at most levels. The gap is especially
       pronounced at level 7 and post study.

       TEC still have work to do to close the gap between Pasifika and non-Māori/non-Pasifika learners. TEC
       will work with the region to ensure the TRIP has:
            - key stakeholders being involved in the development of the Investment Plan.
            - leadership, governance and management commitment to achieving parity outcomes.
            - clear involvement of key Pasifika leaders in development of the Investment Plan.
            - a clear commitment and actions to attain parity of both participation and achievement
                 (especially at level 4 and above) by the end of 2022, such as:
                         o evidence-based initiatives that will make a much bigger contribution to
                              reducing participation, retention and achievement disparities
                         o delivery models better suited to the realities of Pasifika learners’ lives (e.g.,
                              secondary-tertiary pathways, workplace-facing provision, recognition of prior
                              learning and short courses).

1.4       Our Region

      Tai Tokerau has many tertiary education providers serving communities from Auckland to Whangarei
      and the mid to the far north. Within the scope of He Whenua covering the primary industries and
      environment, there is one Institute of Technology and Polytechnic (ITP), two Wānanga, five Private
      Training Organisations (PTEs) and four Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) that operate in and serve
      our region; delivering quality education to communities through certificate, diploma, graduate diploma
      and degree level programmes.

      Northland has two regional economic growth strategies, both of which will underpin the He Whenua
      TRIP;
          - He Tangata he Whenua he Oranga (Māori Economic Growth Strategy for Tai Tokerau).
          - Northland Economic Regional Development Plan.

                                                                                                    Page | 5
2        SCOPE

This TRIP is the first of its kind in New Zealand and is being launched in Tai Tokerau.

The plan will prioritise the tertiary education needs of the region and its learners and the necessary
qualifications and training to be offered by providers and funded by the TEC. The plan will better
connect the needs and aspirations of Tai Tokerau with how the TEC invests in education. This will in
turn be reflected in providers coming together collaboratively to deliver those education services.

The He Whenua project will develop a framework for regional investment planning that represents and
demonstrates:

-        Communities, Treaty partners, local industry, employers, and local government working
         together to address the needs of Tai Tokerau Northland.
-        Planning and coordination with other TEOs that deliver tertiary education in Tai Tokerau
         Northland.
-        Work with schools to better align education programmes between secondary and tertiary
         and improve transition to higher-level tertiary programmes that deliver good graduate
         outcomes. This includes using the Career Development Benchmarks as a supporting tool.
-        Early engagement with secondary school students in tertiary education and career
         discussions. Sharing of information and data in an integrated, efficient and user-friendly way.
-        Review of programmes delivered by TEOs, industry, and employers in the region. Examining
         how tertiary education programmes for 2019-2021 will meet the needs identified in regional
         economic, social and industry plans and opportunities.
-        Consideration to opportunities for joint delivery of tertiary education programmes, joint
         support of tertiary students in Tai Tokerau and joint career development services.
-        Consideration to ways of support and delivery of tertiary education programmes in the work
         environment for school leavers that go straight into employment and for those for whom
         industry training is not an option.

                                                                                               Page | 6
2.1       He Whenua

      The first focus area of the TRIP chosen is He Whenua, and will include:

      -        Environment
      -        Forestry
      -        Agriculture
      -        Horticulture
      -        Transport

2.2       Out of Scope

      -        This project does not address the implementation and monitoring requirements post TRIP
               He Whenua final submission 20 August 2018.
      -        This particular project is not responsible for further stages of the Tai Tokerau Regional
               Investment Plan.

                                                                                                  Page | 7
3        COLLABORATION

      High-level engagement and discussions around the TRIP has been taking place throughout May and
      June with He Whenua partners and stakeholders across the region and external to the region.

      The TRIP concept has been shared with senior business leaders and key partners and stakeholders from
      Industry, Māori, and some support agencies across Tai Tokerau. Positive support continues, and wider
      communication is in progress to include high schools, providers, local government and regional support
      agencies.

      Tailored communications are being created to support this process. Initial contact is taking place
      through letters, phone calls, and followed up by individual and group hui across the large stakeholder
      groups.

      Information, commitments and discussions are being documented and captured in a central repository
      that will be used a reference tool when undertaking the plan narrative.

      The purpose of partner and stakeholder engagement will be to:

          -   Discuss and agree tertiary education needs based on what is best for the region and its
              growth.
          -   Re-validate findings of the Tai Tokerau environmental scan.
          -   Seek support, input and statements of endorsement from stakeholders as to the proposals
              developed in the plan.

3.1       Partners and Stakeholders

      Partner and Stakeholder groups have been identified for the purpose of engagement around the TRIP
      for He Whenua.

      Many partners and stakeholders in the region are not directly impacted by the He Whenua TRIP, but
      are being communicated with to update on the overall activity ahead of further stages. A table of He
      Whenua partners and stakeholders are detailed on the following page, although this table is not
      exhaustive and will continue to develop.

                                                                                                   Page | 8
