The TES sets out the government’s medium- to long-term strategy for tertiary education. It:

  • articulates the broad goals for the tertiary education system
  • provides vision and direction on how the tertiary education system can meet the needs of students, research users and wider stakeholders
  • sets a framework to guide planning and funding.

The TES covers all aspects of post-school education including:

  • courses provided by universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, wānanga, private training establishments (PTEs) and other tertiary education providers
  • foundation education through to doctorates
  • industry and workplace training
  • employment training and second chance education
  • adult and community education (ACE).

The TES is made up of six interrelated strategies:

Across these strategies there are 35 objectives. While the objectives are presented as relating to one of the six strategies, many of them are interconnected and overlap with key concepts in other strategies.

In addition, there are nine change messages threaded through the objectives that relate to increasing the relevance, connectedness and quality of the tertiary education system, and provide a focus on the overall changes sought throughout the system. The change messages are:

In general, the TES focuses on improving the ability of TEOs to manage for improved outcomes, rather than setting specific outcome targets. This is to be achieved through a mix of shifting attitudes and culture and the implementation of new funding and accountability policies.

There is an expectation that the progress of the tertiary education system towards the goals of the TES will be monitored and evaluated.

The purpose of these pages is to provide updated and expanded data on the monitoring indicators. Please note that the data has not necessarily been subject to a full quality assurance process and may be revised from time to time.
