Investment Plans

Each TEO must have an approved Investment Plan (Plan) that sets out how it will use Adult Literacy Educator funding to increase the number of graduates with a literacy and numeracy educator qualification at level 5 on the NZQF, and how this will:

  • build an effective literacy and numeracy teaching workforce regionally and in New Zealand
  • reduce the fees for qualifications for literacy and numeracy educators, and
  • contribute to the tertiary education system in line with the Tertiary Education Strategy.

The approved Plan must include a mix of provision (MoP) that we have approved.

The MoP must be submitted through Workspace 2 using the Adult Literacy Educators Mix of Provision template (PDF 95 KB) (PDF, 97 Kb).
