Private training establishments are a growing sector in New Zealand tertiary education, although their students receive lower subsidies than do those at public institutions. The determination of public subsidies for private tertiary education students is complex and is based upon philosophical arguments, trends in demand and the capacity of private and public sectors. This issue has gained prominence in New Zealand since the release of the Government Green Paper on tertiary education last year, which suggested equal subsidies for students in private and public tertiary education. This paper reviews the general arguments and overseas examples in this area, before examining the New Zealand situation and outlining options for the future.

Study Behaviour

The direct costs of tertiary education are shared between students and government on the basis that there are both private and public returns from tertiary education, and because the government has limited financial resources to commit towards tertiary education. However, the question ‘who should pay?’ is controversial. In 2005 the New Zealand general election was won arguably as a result of a promise to make student loans interest-free for New Zealand-based borrowers (Roy, 2011).

In their 1997 green paper on tertiary education the Ministry of Education said, "to ensure our prosperity New Zealand needs to be a 'learning society' recognising the importance for all of our people to continue to develop new skills and knowledge throughout a person’s lifetime." Given the importance of an educated and adaptable workforce, there is surprisingly little information available on education and training undertaken in New Zealand. While some information is collected on those enrolled in study towards formal education qualifications, there is little available information on human capital development beyond this. One of the few sources of information is the Education and Training Survey (ETS), conducted in September 1996. This paper uses information collected in the ETS to look at the characteristics of those participating in education and training as well as the barriers to and reasons for participation in education and training. lt then goes on to compare the labour market outcomes of those people who participated in education and training with those who did not.

Throughout 2018, relations between Turkey and the United States seemed to deteriorate. The leaders of the two countries issued sharp diplomatic statements and the US even imposed economic sanctions on Turkey. This article aims to analyze how the future of relations between Turkey and the United States. Cooperation between the two has a long historical side after the Cold War. Relations between the two countries are based on various interests, both economic, political, military and security interests. The theory used in this study is the theory of national interest. The US has great interests in the Middle East and Turkey is the front-line ally in achieving those interests. However, there are many US foreign policies that ignore the Turkish concern and create tensions between the two countries. On the contrary, Turkey also has considerable economic interests, but the role of the government elite (in this case, President Erdogan) has a significant influence in the determination of Turkish foreign policy. The findings of this study, although it will go through complex challenges and processes, the US and Turkey will continue to maintain their relations.

The Government is keen to get “back to basics” about divorce. The Green Paper which the Lord Chancellor presented to Parliament in December 1993 invites us all to reflect on family values and is intended to provoke a “thorough national consideration” of the whole basis for divorce. It follows proposals by the Law Commission but is less than a ringing endorsement of the Commission's scheme. The Law Commission has advocated a shift from the current “mixed” system (embracing fault and no-fault grounds) to an entirely no-fault basis for divorce. Under these proposals divorce would be regarded as a neutral “process over time” and would not entail judgments into the causes of marriage breakdown. While the Green Paper gives qualified support to this idea, the Government has yet to reach a concluded view.

This paper examines some of the proposals in the Government Green Paper A Future Qualifications Policy for New Zealand. An analysis of responses to the Green Paper indicates a strong division between those closely associated with industry training and those responsible for the provision of general and professional education. The position taken in this article is that the Green Paper is a major advance on the current National Qualifications Framework (NQF), but that the proposals are unlikely to be implemented successfully without greater mutual understanding between the different sectors (industry, schools, universities and other tertiary providers). The paper identifies 17 considerations that a new qualifications structure should address if it is to be implemented successfully. Of the models suggested in publicly available responses to the Green Paper, the one proposed by Smithers (1997) comes closest to addressing the concerns raised in this article.

Education Review

This article provides a critical commentary on key features of the long-awaited White Paper on tertiary education (Ministry of Education, 1998). Released in November 1998, the White Paper confirms many of the predictions made in earlier analyses of the Tertiary Education Review Green Paper (Ministry of Education, 1997a). The authors argue that despite claims to the contrary in the document, the White Paper is driven by a privatisation agenda, as evidenced by the favouring of new government subsidies for private training establishments, the decline in EFTS-based research support for public institutions, the introduction of new capital charges, and significant changes in the composition and nature of university Councils. Most worrying of all is the potential for undermining academic freedom and institutional autonomy with the granting of important new powers to the Minister of Education. The almost complete absence of any substantial discussion of information technology issues, identified as a major weakness of the Tertiary Education Review Green Paper, is repeated in the White Paper. The authors conclude that the White Paper represents one of the final steps in a process of incremental neoliberal reform, paving the way, via a far-reaching set of policy and legislative changes, to a fully privatised, consumer-driven tertiary education system.

The Tertiary Education Strategy 2010 – 2015 in Aotearoa/New Zealand states that the Government aims to ‘increase the number of Māori students achieving at the higher level’ (Tertiary Education Commission 2010, p10). For this to be achieved universities need to play their part in assisting Māori students to progress beyond the undergraduate degree and into postgraduate study. Universities take their origins from western European values, ideals and world view which are reflected in the curriculum, management systems and processes.  It is predicated that by 2020 over half the tertiary student population will be Māori due to a youthful Māori population (Department of Labour, 2008). This will be a challenge for universities.  Therefore, the role of a Māori administrator within the university system becomes critical in being able to provide useful insight to the university on how to retain Māori students in this changing environment. This paper draws on my Master of Philosophy research.  It will critically examine the role Māori administrator’s play in the recruitment and retention of Māori students in universities in Aotearoa/New Zealand including culturally specific pastoral care, accurate course advice, information on degree requirements, appropriate learning pathways for students and supporting academic staff to track student progress through to completion. These additional responsibilities, often unrecognised by the university, demonstrates the important role a Māori administrator can make in retaining Māori students in the academy.

Additional Support

Various means to predict the success rate of students have been introduced by a number of educational institutions worldwide. The aim of this research was to identify predictors of success for tertiary education students. Participants were 353 students enrolled on Business and Computing programmes between 2009 and 2014, at a tertiary education provider in New Zealand. Enrolment data were used to determine the relationships between completion of the programme and prior academic achievement, age, ethnicity, gender, type of enrolment, and programme of study. These variables, as well as the overall GPA of the programme, were used to examine their relationship with the first year GPA. Results showed that pre- and post-enrolment data can be used for prediction of academic performance in ICT programmes. Based on the significance of some variables, tertiary education institutions can identify students who are likely to fail, these students can therefore be considered for additional support in the early stages of their study, in order to increase their chances of succeeding academically.

Pillar Industry

The textile industry is a pillar industry of the national economy, and it is also a polluting industry. Green environmental protection has become the development trend of the textile industry, which requires the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and practitioners. Strengthening the environmental protection education of textile students has important significance for the implementation of sustainable development strategy of textile industry. Tertiary education is a very good platform for the implementation of environmental protection education for textile students, and it is also a critical period for students to strengthen the concept of environmental protection education. Students’ environmental protection awareness may take measures to cultivate such as integrating environmental protection courses into major training programs, practice teaching of environmental protection, applying for training programs of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship, participating in research projects, etc.

Economic Necessity

The article discusses the specialization of the Byzantine market in the institute of private and public usury. Language Byzantine «economy with markets» clearly identifies the concept of credit - hriofilet (chreopheiletes), loan interest - tokos (tokos), and among the professionals of this case there are identified money changers, argyroprates, daneistikos, zetonoumios, semodarios. For the correct determination of the place of usury in the system of the Byzantine «economy with markets» it is very revealing that, working with all of them, the usurer was not equal to either the manufacturer or the trader. The Romans emphasized that he exploits time, that is, something elusive and free, since time belongs to everyone. However, it is concluded that the negative attitude to usury in the Byzantine mentality is exaggerated. With all the strict condemnation, financial and mental costs of usury, the Byzantine «economy with markets» could not do without it. Despite the insecurity of the loan and the high interest rates caused by this circumstance, those wishing to borrow, and hence borrowing were never lacking, and, as can be seen, at all three levels - sectors of the market system and among all sections of society. The government tried only to control the place of usury in the market system, the amount of interest on the loan, loan rates. Any short-term attempts to limit private money lending, completely replace it with government or completely prohibit interest-bearing loans invariably ended in failure, and the money-lenders of all levels (including the state) entered the service market sector, while constantly serving both the trading and manufacturing sectors of the Byzantine market. during the IV–IX centuries. This circumstance convincingly speaks of the acute economic necessity of private and state institutes of usury in the system of market services.
