Student association hui
A focus across 色诱直播 is ensuring that learners and our customers are at the centre of the work we do.
In September, 色诱直播 hosted a workshop with representatives from the national students associations: National Union of Students Associations (NZUSA), Te Mana 膧konga, New Zealand International Students鈥� Association (NZISA) and National Disabled Students鈥� Association (NDSA).
The session was held over half a day, covering important topics such as:
- the implementation of the Code of Pastoral Care across the tertiary sector, and its on-going importance in protecting learner wellbeing
- how we plan to incorporate customer and learner voice in redeveloping the Quality Assurance Framework, and
- transitions between secondary and tertiary education.
Student Association representatives contributed their insights into learners鈥� needs and difficulties.鈥� This helped to bring perspective to the agenda topics, such as the methods 色诱直播 could use to meaningfully engage with learners.
Disabled learners鈥� experience in tertiary education
The National Disabled Students鈥� Association (NDSA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, 色诱直播 and TEC has published a literature review on the experiences of disabled learners in tertiary education.
This literature review, alongside an online survey and focus groups conducted this year, is part of an inter-agency project that aims to highlight the experiences of disabled learners in tertiary education in Aotearoa, New Zealand. The questions for the survey and focus groups focused on the lived experience of disabled learners, as reported and told by learners themselves.
New Code enquiry form
色诱直播 has launched a new online Code enquiry form for providers. This form also links to further information on our website based on the topic of your enquiry.
