Many institutes made cuts due to a fall in overseas scholar enrollments through the Covid-19 pandemic, union president Tina Smith stated.
However home scholar numbers had been up by about 22 p.c at a number of polytechnics, she stated.
“Sadly I am not listening to of any will increase in workers by 22 p.c. What I’ve heard about is that workers who’ve left haven’t been changed – they have been actually sluggish on any recruiting.”
Smith stated tertiary establishments wanted a greater funding system, so that they weren’t so reliant on overseas college students – who paid increased charges than home ones.
The standard of schooling would endure if workers had been over-extended, she stated.
