Funding mechanism
The Minister responsible for tertiary education issues the Literacy and Numeracy funding mechanism. It sets out the purpose of the fund and gives authority to the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) to administer the funding.
Funding mechanisms and delegations
Funding is agreed through a tertiary education organisation’s (TEO’s) Investment Plan.
A TEO that receives TEO-led WLN funding is required to:
- comply with the requirements of the Education and Training Act 2020,
- comply with the funding conditions for the relevant year, and
- comply with any additional conditions specified in its funding approval documents.
Education and Training Act 2020
TEO-led WLN funding is set through the Government’s annual budget process. We determine the appropriate amount of TEO-led WLN funding for a TEO.
Through each TEO’s Plan, we agree the mix of provision (MoP). This includes the:
- programmes that the funding can be used for,
- allocation of funding towards each programme, and
- volume of delivery expected from each programme.
Funding allocation and payments
Funding allocation, including any amendments are available through the My Allocation and Payments app on Ngā Kete.
TEO-led WLN funding is paid in equal monthly instalments.
