Tertiary Education Strategy (TES) priority groups
Through the TES, Plan Guidance and our other sector guidance, we set expectations for the performance of tertiary education organisations (TEOs). We prioritise improved outcomes for all learner groups. Our information shows outcomes for Māori, Pacific, and non-Māori and non-Pacific learners.
How enrolments influence performance
The nature of enrolments at each organisation influences its performance. For example, part-time and extra-mural students often have work or family commitments, which may mean they devote less time and energy to their studies. They might also have different study goals.
Note that external factors such as extreme weather events or other natural disasters may have negative impacts on an organisation's ability to deliver courses and enrolment numbers, which may in turn affect educational performance.
The full impact on EPIs will not be evident for several years when cohort-based EPIs, particularly qualification completion, are confirmed.
