A very timely article – "I am a student at EIT and we have just been
informed of a proposal to discontinue the Counselling stream of the
Applied Social Sciences degree at the end of 2015. This will mean that
currently enrolled part-time students
and all those who commenced in the July intake (full-time or part-time)
will be unable to complete their studies. EIT will have taken their
money, most of which will be funded by student loans, and the students
will not have a qualification to show for it. There are only two other
providers of a Counselling stream; Auckland and Wellington, and they do
not offer distance learning, ie students would have to relocate. This is
unrealistic for students with families etc. The whole proposal is
fundamentally unfair and I haven’t even touched on the social
implications. Unbelievable.
Would you be prepared to support our submission opposing the proposal?"
