Via the Tertiary Education Union's this afternoon, is the link to the NZ Institute of Skills and Technology's (NZIST)establishment home page update. An embedded 4 minute video with the proposed name of the new entity as - Pūkenga Aotearoa. The many meanings of pūkenga include skill, skilful, versatile, intellectual and technique.
The video also lists many other alternative names both in Maori and in English, but Pūkenga Aotearoa is the preferred choice from the establishment board. There will be consultation from mid-February across the sector and with the many stakeholders involved, to come to consensus.
