Investment Plan monitoring

The purpose of our monitoring is:

• to provide confidence to the public in the tertiary education system
• to foster and encourage the continuous improvement (educational, financial and organisational) of performance by tertiary education providers
• to ensure that progress is being made on delivery and performance commitments, including the priority outcomes outlined in the TES
• to provide added value by supplementing information provided by TEOs with information held by us, for example learner progression from one TEO to another.

Together with each TEO, we monitor the delivery and performance commitments set out in a TEO's Investment Plan. Monitoring includes:

• delivery against funding overall volumes
• delivery against agreed mix of provision
• specific delivery commitments including those measured by the educational performance indicators
• performance commitments for all TEC-funded programmes and activities
• conditions placed on funding approved within the Investment Plan.
