(1) The source for this data changed in 2010.  As 2010 data is not directly comparable with earlier years, a revised series has been created.  The target has also been revised.
Original target was "Increase the percentage of Māori new entrant school children who have participated in early childhood education from 90% in 2006 to 95% by 2012."

Young People Engaged in Learning (particularly in Years 9 and 10)

Target: Increase Māori school leavers qualified to attend university from 14.8% in 2006 to 30% by 2012.

  • * Due to methodological changes in the allocation of attainment levels for 2004 leavers achieving a qualification between little or no formal attainment and UE standard, the percentages of leavers with at least NCEA Level 2 in 2004 is not comparable with other years and has been replaced with an average of 2003 and 2005 results

Note:  The Correspondence School is included in all of the above figures
Note: there are only a relatively small number of school leavers from Māori immersion schools.  With such a small number of leavers, year-on-year actual percentages can vary substantially
 just by random fluctuation (margin of error ~ 4-5%).  Together with the uncertainty around forecasts, and the fact that the number of school leavers from these schools has almost doubled
since 2000, the forecast rates for school leavers with UE Standard from Māori immersion schools should be treated with caution.
