In: Funding| ITPs| Policy| Tertiary Education
3 Sep 2010Last week, I mentioned in this post a story about investment plan discussions at WITT.

News 3/9 – First Marketing on Completion Rates. New TEU Prez.
In: Funding| ICT| ITPs| PTEs| Policy| Staff| Students| TEO Sector Groups| Tertiary Education| Universities
3 Sep 2010First Marketing on Completion Rates Lifeway College is the first provider to use its students’ completions as a marketing tool. They’re promoting a 93% qualification achievement rate according to “the official statistics submitted to the Tertiary Education Commission”, so I assume they’re talking about the soon to be published stats. I’d expect a lot more [...]

In: Export Education| Funding| Government on Industry| ITPs| Industry| Policy| Tertiary Education| Universities

He noted that the ”Chief Executive of SIT has said the latest cut was ‘something of a surprise’”. Ha ha, if Penny Simmonds was ever surprised at TEC wanting to cut SIT’s funding, it would amaze me!!
