The New Zealand tertiary education demand forecast factsheet presents the methodology used by the Ministry of Education in forecasting the demand for provider-based tertiary education at Levels 3 and above on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. It also includes tables summarising the most recent (2020) and past (2016-2019) forecasts.
