Our Briefing to the Incoming Minister (BIM) was provided to Hon Jan Tineti shortly after her appointment as Minister of Education, in February 2023.
Te Pūkenga BIM was intended to build on the Minister’s understanding of our role in the tertiary education system in New Zealand. It provides an overview of how we operate in line with current expectations set by the Minister of Education and an outline of our functions and Charter, as defined by legislation.
Please note information contained in the BIM was relevant as at February 2023 and will be subject to change as our work progresses.

Te Pūkenga Transitional Statement of Intent 2021-2024 committed Te Pūkenga to (amongst other things) undertaking an external review on the effectiveness of Council (‘the Review’). Accordingly, in late 2021 the Council initiated the Review pursuant to an agreed Terms of Reference that focused on Te Pūkenga governance framework, its effectiveness, alignment with best practice, its fitness for purpose and any areas identified for improvement.
Dame Karen Sewell and Belinda Clark were appointed to undertake the review.
The Reviewers provided their final report to management in May 2022. A link to the Review report and terms of reference is available here:Te Pūkenga Governance Review report.
Mahere Haumi - Investment Plan 2021
This Investment Plan sets out how we will support the Government’s goals for building a proactive, sustainable and inclusive economy and improving the wellbeing of all New Zealanders.
The Minister of Education has outlined Crown funding arrangements in his NZIST Funding letter.
The Minister of Education has made his expectations of NZIST known through his Letter of Expectation.
In May 2020, we published seven Mobilising the New World interim reports and invited feedback. We’ve now summarised that feedback to produce the Mobilising the New World Summary of Feedback. This valuable feedback, that NZIST’s Council has reviewed, can now be used as additional input for the transformation of New Zealand's vocational education sector, including informing the development of NZIST’s operating model.
About Mobilising the New World
Seven working groups consisting of 76 people from across the vocational education sector were established by the IST Establishment Board to consider the future of the vocational education once NZIST came into existence. The working groups were asked to think about the future of the provision of vocational education.
While the world has shifted due to the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic since these reports were compiled, they are still relevant and important as we navigate our way towards a different way of providing vocational education.

Te Rito - Learner and Staff Personas
A collection of 20 learner and seven staff personas aims to enable and support Te Pūkenga and people working in vocational education and learning to strengthen a learner-centred culture. They reflect many of the common voices presented in the Te Rito Insights from Learners and Staff reports based on our Ākonga at the Centre research (Te Pūkenga 2021).
Achieving equity for underserved learners has been the guiding principle of this research. It has also been central to the design and approach of the project through to the presentation of the findings and associated resources. By showing the barriers that need to be removed to achieve equity and the aspirations and enablers to success, these personas will help our network to put ākonga at the centre of everyday decisions, at every level of our mahi.
