Gazette Notice

Section 195A of the Education Act 1989 (“the Act”) requires the Secretary for Education to determine and publish in the New Zealand Gazette criteria for assessing the level of risk to the operation and long-term viability of tertiary education institutions, and the level of risk to the education performance of students enrolled at polytechnics. This notice sets out these criteria.

These risk assessment criteria will be considered by the Chief Executive of the Tertiary Education Commission and the Minister for Tertiary Education when they consider whether an institution is at risk in a way that might warrant intervention in accordance with Parts 15 and 15A of the Act.
