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.

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 figures next week….

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 only 3… Read Full Story.

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 worth more than… Read Full Story.

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 because they had… Read Full Story.
