The Ministry of Education has released three fact sheets: one on formal and non-formal learning and two on Pasifika in tertiary education.

Non-formal and formal learning – Adults in education

This fact sheet looks at adults aged 25 to 64 engaged in some form of study in 2006. In particular, it includes new information on the total rate at which adults participated in non-formal learning. The fact sheet also looks at hours spent in non-formal learning, and whether adults were doing this for work-related or personal reasons, and explores how these differ by gender, age, education level, and labour force status.

It can be found on the Education Counts website.

Pasifika peoples in tertiary education in New Zealand: 2008

This is edition three in an annual series on Pasifika tertiary education students. There is an associated set of tables available on the Pasifika education statistics page on Education Counts.

This factsheet includes information on Pasifika tertiary education students, the qualifications students are taking, where they are studying, field of study, student allowances and loans and other important characteristics of Pasifika students. Also included is information on Pasifika employees in industry training and some comparisons with international students from the Pacific.

It can be found on the Education Counts website.

Pasifika tertiary education students by ethnicity: 2008

This factsheet includes information on the ethnicities of New Zealand’s Pasifika tertiary education students. It shows the trends in participation in tertiary study for the various Pasifika ethnicities: what qualifications Pasifika students are taking, where they are studying, their field of study, their ages, and other important characteristics of Pasifika students.
