新西兰于2025年10月提出的《职业教育和培训制度修正法案》于2026年1月1日生效,通过重新建立作为独立实体或联邦实体的理工学院,恢复区域控制,而少数技术学院仍留在Te Pkinkenga,以维持财政稳定。 New Zealand’s Vocational Education and Training System Amendment Bill, introduced in October 2025, takes effect January 1, 2026, restoring regional control by reestablishing polytechnics as independent or federated entities, while a few remain within Te Pūkenga for financial stability. 拥有多数行业代表的八个行业技能委员会将指导培训标准和方案的制定。 Eight industry skills boards, with majority industry representation, will guide training standards and program development. 由于基于工作的培训从Te Pkinkenga转向新的董事会,为期两年的过渡期确保了现有学习者的连续性。 A two-year transition period ensures continuity for current learners as work-based training shifts from Te Pūkenga to the new boards. 该法案修正了《2020年教育和培训法》,纳入了210份呈件和32次利益攸关方听证会的技术改进,目的是使职业培训更符合行业需要,更符合当地驱动的需要。 The bill amends the Education and Training Act 2020, incorporating technical refinements from 210 submissions and 32 stakeholder hearings, aiming to make vocational training more responsive to industry needs and locally driven.
