Educational performance by type of tertiary provider

The following pages contain information about each part of the tertiary education sector. These sub-sectors are:

• Universities
• Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics
• Private Training Establishments
• Wānanga
• Industry Training OrganisationsOther Tertiary Education Providers.

It is difficult to compare performance information across the different sub-sectors as they often focus on different types of education and training.

• Universities for example have nearly all their students at degree or post-graduate study.
• In the wānanga and private training establishment sub-sectors, different providers focus on different levels of study, as well as different types of students.
