  • Tertiary education and student support

    July 25, 2020 1:52 PM
    A flourishing tertiary education sector is well-resourced, innovative, responsive, and accessible to students. Its institutions reflect the diversity of Aotearoa and champion mātauranga Māori. Aotearoa’s tertiary education institutions have been compromised by decades of corporate behaviour that has prioritised profit over education as a public good. Successive governments have systematically devalued education and its critical contribution to the vibrancy and progress of our communities. Those who teach and research at Aotearoa’s tertiary institutions are often not recognised for the work...

    Chlöe Swarbrick May 27, 2020 5:04 PM

    Click here for our 2020 Election Priorities for Tertiary Education Supporting students creates a fairer society and a stronger economy. Tertiary education can help drive the transition to a sustainable Aotearoa New Zealand. Tertiary education should be free Student fees should be capped and progressively reduced.

  • Youth Affairs Policy

    February 24, 2020 12:00 PM
    Young people should be empowered to create a better Aotearoa New Zealand and overcome the challenges created by previous generations. Democracy must include young people Young people should have representation or a voice on local and community boards. The Local Government Act should require councils to resource Youth Councils and employ child and youth advocates. Civics, human rights, and environmental education should be taught in schools. The health system should meet the needs of young people Improving youth mental health...

  • Green Party announces a better deal for students

    James Shaw September 13, 2017 12:03 PM
    The Green Party announced today that, in government, it will provide genuine support for students by bringing in a universal post-graduate student allowance and increasing allowance rates for all students. “The rise in the cost of living and higher rents are making life increasingly hard for students, and the Green Party has a plan to fix that,” said Green Party leader James Shaw. “We will create a universal allowance for all post-graduate students and increase the base student allowance rate...

  • Student fair deal

    September 06, 2017 11:18 AM
    Students are the only group in society expected to borrow just to get by. We believe that students should be supported so that they can focus on learning the skills they need to contribute to a smart, innovative economy and a fairer society. It’s difficult to do that when you are constantly worried about making ends meet. Tertiary study should be a way out of poverty, not a way into it. The Green Party will:  Make all post-graduate students eligible...
