Ep39: New Models of Tertiary Education - Terry Genet (New Zealand Productivity Commission)

The Andrew Curtis Show

When I began to consider post graduate study a few years back, it reignited my interest in tertiary education. I suddenly saw the changes that had taken place, culturally and technologically, then began to wonder if our models of tertiary education had adapted to meet those changing needs. My instinct was that they hadn't, but I was very encouraged to discover a report from the New Zealand Productivity Commission that came out in March 2017 with some very interesting suggestions to get the ball rolling. Terry Genet was a senior advisor on the report and made the time to go through the report's finding and its recommendations with me. If you or someone you know is considering tertiary education, you'll find this a valuable resource for the questions our institutions need to be able to answer.
