Tertiary Education Strategies - Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring of the Tertiary Education Strategy will provide ongoing, timely information to help make sense of the extent to which the intended changes are happening and to what degree. The framework document provides background on what will be monitored and how; and uses a similar approach to that used for the first strategy.

This report examines changes in the priorities of New Zealand universities over the period since the first Tertiary Education Strategy was introduced. It looks at the objectives set out in the universities’ annual reports from 2002 to 2006 and analyses the extent to which the characteristics of universities influences their declared strategic focus.

This report covers stage one of the evaluation of the Tertiary Education Strategy 2002/07. The evaluation focuses on how effective the Strategy has been in creating change in the tertiary education system.
This report provides a mid-term review of progress, covering the first three years of the Strategy. It draws together information from recently released reports on the use of the Strategy, profile objectives and monitoring of the Strategy, as well as other sources.

This report presents an analysis of the 2005/07 and 2006/08 profiles of tertiary education institutions and a sample of industry training organisations. This analysis looked at the organisational objectives in the profiles and mapped them to the Tertiary Education Strategy to establish a sense of where change is planned across the various areas of the strategy, and by which types of organisations. The analysis provides a view of governance and senior management perspectives of important changes in their organisations in relation to the Tertiary Education Strategy.

This report presented results of interviews with key people in tertiary education organisations and stakeholder groups on the use and usefulness of the Tertiary Education Strategy 2002/07. The information in this report contributes towards the evaluation of the Strategy.
The research was undertaken by Miles Shepheard, Synergia Ltd, under contract to the Ministry of Education.

This second annual monitoring report tracks further progress of the tertiary education system against the Tertiary Education Strategy 2002-07 in the period following implementation of the key aspects of the tertiary education reforms up to the end of 2005.

Tertiary Education Providers and their Stakeholders - Researchers looked at how much contact there is between New Zealand's tertiary education providers and their stakeholders and how good it is at producing results.

This first annual monitoring report tracks the progress of the tertiary education system against the Tertiary Education Strategy 2002-2007 during the initial period of the implementation of the tertiary education reforms from 2002 to 2004.

This is the first in an annual series of reports that monitors progress against the goals of the Tertiary Education Strategy 2002-2007 (TES).
It sets out the state of the tertiary education system before the implementation of the TES, and the associated reforms. It explains how progress against the TES will be monitored over the next few years and it provides us with a series of measures against which we record progress over the life of the TES.
