Newly released cabinet documents reveal the extent of cuts in the Polytech sector: 550 courses abolished and 900 full time jobs gone.
Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds is overseeing huge change in the sector, including the dismantling of Te Pukenga, with the future of four polytechs in Northland, Taranaki, Wellington and Westcoast still in doubt.
The cabinet paper shows for the first time how many jobs and courses have gone already.
