A First Generation Tertiary Student programme for students who are the first in their family to progress beyond secondary education, is part of a new academy aimed at helping some of this year's Manukau of Technology students before term officially starts.
The first Summer Success Academy for New Zealand students begins in a couple of weeks and is based on a model that's worked well in America's Georgia State. The project is headed by MIT's Specialist Adviser to the Chief Executive - Dr Stuart Middleton.
