Nursing education is currently delivered at one wānanga – or Māori-culture based tertiary institution – six universities and 14 Te Pūkenga subsidiaries or institutes of technology and polytechnics (ITPs) across New Zealand. Among the NNLG’s concerns is the “unintended potential” to create a two-tier system, where universities have autonomy over their individual programmes, but the ITPs do not. Victoria University of Wellington school of nursing director and NNLG board member Kathy Holloway said ITP courses could be seen as a “less agile and more restricted programme” and be less attractive to potential students. “Potentially this could lead to a drop in enrolments,” she said.
