Waikato Uni Shuts Door…to any more students in 2010, with 470 turned away for the second semester. 500, here, 1,000 there and pretty soon you have some big numbers that add up much like a hip replacement waiting list for a government. Maybe the government should have a strategy beyond shrugs.
Wintec Opens Door …to India, [...]

Innovative Approach to Capping

In: Funding

28 Jun 2010

I recently saw an innovative approach to a tight funding cap. I won’t name the TEO in case they get investigated for some obscure procedural breach, but it seemed reasonable to me.
Since they’ve reached their funding cap, they are now going to enrol people in a similar, non-TEC-approved programme, with no access to funding, loans [...]

PEDA Affair Hits Tertiary You may have heard of the Pacific Economic Development Agency allocation in the Budget – $4.8m for a new body in a non-contestable allocation.

This post follows up from posts on ITP, wananga, university and OTEP over-delivery in 2009 over the last four days – the university post explains the context. The short version is that providers are supposed to be in the 97-103% range, if 100% is their funding allocation. I’m thinking of doing some more analysis on these [...]

This post follows up from a post on university over-delivery in 2009 yesterday – that post explains the context. The short version is that providers are supposed to be in the 97-103% range, if 100% is their funding allocation.
The wananga sector performed pretty much spot-on, with their enrolments being worth 100.3% of their funding allocation. With [...]

University Over-Delivery in 2009

In: Funding| Universities

19 Apr 2010

NZ tertiary education providers face limits on their delivery under the Student Achievement Component – what we used to call EFTS funding. They are expected to enrol students within a 97-103% range of their expected funding (ie 100%). That is calculated by adding up the notional value of all of the enrolments (a medicine enrolment is [...]

University of Waikato Exceeds Funding Cap

In: Funding

13 Mar 2010

One of the big issues in tertiary education last year was whether providers could enrol above their funding cap. Enrolment demand was high due to the recession, while there was slower growth in places than in previous years, so providers were open to getting more funded places (obviously) as well as enrolling unfunded students (mainly [...]
