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.

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