51740 (2025). Shanan Halbert to the Minister for Vocational Education: Which institutes of polytechnics, if any, have applied for strategically important provision funding?

Hon Penny Simmonds: There have been no applications for strategically important provision funding from polytechnics. This funding is not application-based, instead, it is allocated by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) based on set criteria. Criteria for funding and allocations for 2026 are available on the TEC website.
