Pasifika tertiary education students by ethnicity: 2008 - Data Tables

Publication Details

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

This factsheet includes gender 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.

1 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of greater than 0.03 EFTS (more than one week's duration).
2 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of less than 0.03 EFTS (less than one week's duration).
3 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in informal programmes, i.e. programmes not registered on the New Zealand Register of Quality Assured Qualifications.
Notes: (1) The equivalent full-time student count used in this report does not equate to the funded equivalent full-time student count. The data is also not adjusted to allow for students who do not complete their study programme. (2) The colleges of education have merged with nearby universities over the last decade. (3) From 2003, the field of study data is based on courses studied. The 1998 data is based on qualifications and is therefore not directly comparable.

1 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of greater than 0.03 EFTS (more than one week's duration).
2 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of less than 0.03 EFTS (less than one week's duration).
3 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in informal programmes, i.e. programmes not registered on the New Zealand Register of Quality Assured Qualifications.
Notes: (1) The equivalent full-time student count used in this report does not equate to the funded equivalent full-time student count. The data is also not adjusted to allow for students who do not complete their study programme. (2) The colleges of education have merged with nearby universities over the last decade. (3) From 2003, the field of study data is based on courses studied. The 1998 data is based on qualifications and is therefore not directly comparable.

1 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of greater than 0.03 EFTS (more than one week's duration).
2 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of less than 0.03 EFTS (less than one week's duration).
3 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in informal programmes, i.e. programmes not registered on the New Zealand Register of Quality Assured Qualifications.
Notes: (1) The equivalent full-time student count used in this report does not equate to the funded equivalent full-time student count. The data is also not adjusted to allow for students who do not complete their study programme. (2) The colleges of education have merged with nearby universities over the last decade. (3) From 2003, the field of study data is based on courses studied. The 1998 data is based on qualifications and is therefore not directly comparable.

1 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of greater than 0.03 EFTS (more than one week's duration).
2 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of less than 0.03 EFTS (less than one week's duration).
3 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in informal programmes, i.e. programmes not registered on the New Zealand Register of Quality Assured Qualifications.
Notes: (1) The equivalent full-time student count used in this report does not equate to the funded equivalent full-time student count. The data is also not adjusted to allow for students who do not complete their study programme. (2) The colleges of education have merged with nearby universities over the last decade. (3) From 2003, the field of study data is based on courses studied. The 1998 data is based on qualifications and is therefore not directly comparable.

1 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of greater than 0.03 EFTS (more than one week's duration).
2 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in formal qualifications of less than 0.03 EFTS (less than one week's duration).
3 Students enrolled at any time during the year with a tertiary education provider in informal programmes, i.e. programmes not registered on the New Zealand Register of Quality Assured Qualifications.
Notes: (1) The equivalent full-time student count used in this report does not equate to the funded equivalent full-time student count. The data is also not adjusted to allow for students who do not complete their study programme. (2) The colleges of education have merged with nearby universities over the last decade. (3) From 2003, the field of study data is based on courses studied. The 1998 data is based on qualifications and is therefore not directly comparable.
