Key indicatorsThe majority of Māori students continue to be enrolled at in certificate level qualifications. However, the numbers enrolled at that level are decreasing. The number of Māori in bachelors degrees decreased from 2004 to 2005, while the number in diplomas has been fairly steady since 2002. There has been a small but steady increase in the numbers in postgraduate qualifications.  Māori formal students at diploma level and above by qualification level 1997–2005 In terms of participation rates, Māori participation rates in diplomas continues to exceed that of non-Māori, while participation rates in bachelors and masters degrees continue to be below that of non-Māori. In particular, at bachelors level, Māori participation rates started to decline sooner than those of non-Māori.  Participation rates for Māori and all students at diploma level and above by qualification level 1997–2005 Māori students, at diploma level and above, remain overrepresented in education, society and culture and creative arts and underrepresented in engineering, sciences, architecture, information technology and management and commerce. Over the period 2002–2004, the areas of high relative growth were agriculture, information technology and architecture. The areas with high relative decline were engineering, society and culture and education.  Relative growth and relative share indictors for Maori formal students by field of study at diploma level and above 2002–2005 Relative growth is the percentage point difference between the growth rate in Māori student EFTS and the growth rate of total EFTS in each subject area 1. It provides an indicator of subject area growth where Māori student growth rates exceed total growth rates (positive number) or lag behind total growth rates (negative number). Relative share is the percentage point difference between the proportion of Māori student EFTS in the subject area and the proportion of Māori EFTS across all subjects2. It provides an indicator of relative over-representation (positive number) or under-representation (negative number). The number of Māori students completing diplomas has been more or less steady since 2002. The number completing bachelors degrees has been steady since 1999. There has been a small, but steady growth in postgraduate qualification completions.  Māori formal students completing qualifications at diploma level and above 1997–2005 At diploma level, Māori are more likely than non-Māori to complete a qualification within five years. However, completion rates at diploma level are lower than completion rates at higher levels. At bachelors and masters levels, Māori completion rates are lower than those of non-Maori.
