In late February 2024, the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) will release guidance to tertiary providers on what to include in their Investment Plan for 2025.
Plan Guidance, the Strategic Intent and Learner Success Plan template and the Gazette notice for Investment Plans will all be available in late February 2024. These documents contain information about our priorities and expectations for provision in 2025 and how your Plans will reflect this.
For this funding round the information released in February 2024 will contain our overarching priorities for investment as well as some specific target areas in provision for foundation, vocational and higher education. We are also incorporating into Plan Guidance the improvements in performance outcomes we are looking for from TEOs to achieve our investment priorities. Previously, we released this information as Investment Briefs.
