Performance linked funding discussion documents

In March 2010, the Government announced it would introduce an element of performance-linked funding to the tertiary education system. This will commence from 2011.

Performance-linked funding is intended to:

• provide incentives for performance improvements for Tertiary Education Organisations
• improve educational outcomes for students and employers
• improve value for taxpayers’ money
• while at the same time minimising any disruption to well performing TEOs.

Discussion documents

Please note: this consultation is now closed. Details on decisions are available on the performance-linked funding page.

The TEC is looking for feedback from tertiary providers and individuals in the tertiary education sector about two issues:

• options for making payments under the performance-linked funding framework
• options for measuring the qualification completion (programme completion) indicator.

Please email any feedback on the options outlined in the documents below to the TEC Service Centre by 5pm on Friday 10 December 2010. 

Emails should be sent to servicecentre@tec.govt.nz with ‘PLF Feedback’ in the subject line.
