We invest over $3 billion into tertiary education and supporting the tertiary and careers system. We ensure New Zealanders are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need for lifelong success. We fund over 700 tertiary education organisations (TEOs) to provide thousands of courses to hundreds of thousands of learners. We also monitor the performance of TEOs and provide information and advice to the Government about tertiary education.
An important part of our role is monitoring the performance of the tertiary education organisations we fund. We monitor everything from course and qualification completion rates to individual organisation’s financial performance. This section shows you how we measure this performance – and includes the latest results.
