The Government's assuring industry groups they'll still have influence as polytechnics change.

Next year, 10 polytechs will return to regional governance - but four remain under Te Pūkenga's umbrella.

More decisions will be made mid-next year. 

Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds says these 10 institutions are following a planned pathway designed to boost long-term viability.

"This is work that should have happened 5-6 years ago, it's happened now - and they are getting rid of the wasteful spending, they are getting themselves back on track."
