Davis under fire over skills training revamp
The industry training organisation for sport, exercise, recreation and performing arts is taking aim at Māori Crown Relations Minister Kelvin Davis for failing to stop a revamp of the polytechnic sector.
Skills Active chair Sam Napia says in the process of creating one national polytechnic, the Government is thumbing its nose” at the interests of over a hundred thousand trainees in on-the-job industry training.
He says it makes a mockery of the much touted ‘special relationship’ the Labour Party has with Māori.
Mr Napia says Mr Davis talks about co-design, but when faced with a genuine proposal to sit down and talk about co-design in the vocational training sector he won’t even engage.
