50132 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Vocational Education: How, if at all, has the "$20 million to ensure the retention of strategically important, but potentially unviable courses" been allocated, broken down by polytechnic?

Hon Penny Simmonds: The proposed allocations for the 2026 year from this fund are part of the Tertiary Education Commission’s (TEC) investment decisions and will be published on the TEC’s website in October.
