Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on the Government's new polytechnic shakeup - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Moves have been made to restore regional governance to 10 polytechnics. 

The Government is undoing Labour's merger of institutes under the Te Pūkenga umbrella. 

The 10 selected are deemed to be on a path to financial viability - and will stand alone from next year. 

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says these changes will hopefully help the regions boost employment in the sectors calling out for workers.
