RNZ: University advisory group calls for tougher entry requirements
The government has rejected an advisory group’s call for a more elite university system with tougher entry requirements and a separate funding system from other tertiary institutions.
Universities Minister Shane Reti on Tuesday announced changes informed by the University Advisory Group, which reported to the government in April.
The group’s report, also released on Tuesday, warned failure to treat universities as a system that worked in the national interest was a “fundamental weakness”.
