Poll: Do you think the mega-polytechnic Te Pūkenga should be split up again?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Megapolytechnic Te Pūkenga’s annual report has detailed more than $50 million in cost savings in the year leading up to the coalition Government’s announcement to disestablish the institute.

Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology was formed four years ago to run the country’s 16 polytechs and nine ITOs (industry training organisations).

Do you think it should be split up, or stay as it is? Tell us your reasons in the comments (add NFP if you don't want them used in print).
