• Profile & Trends 2016: Tertiary Education Sector and Student Support [Part 5 of 6]

  

  This is edition 19 in an annual series on the tertiary education sector. Tertiary Education Sector and Student Support is the fifth of six reports to be published in the Profile and Trends 2016 series.

  The key findings of Tertiary Education Sector and Student Support were:

  • The combined financial performance of tertiary education institutions was within the low-risk performance bands in 2016, based on the four key financial performance measures set by the Tertiary Education Commission.
  • The downward trend in the number of student allowances recipients and student loan borrowers continued from 2015 to 2016. Expenditure on student allowances, at $470 million, is now 26 percent below its peak in 2011. The amount borrowed from the Student Loan Scheme increased slightly from 2015 to 2016 to $1.5 billion.
  • Total government spending on tertiary education for the year ended June 2017 increased slightly on the previous year due mainly to higher funding rates for qualifications at level 3 and above and an increase in funding for research. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in expenditure on student allowances.

• The changing structure of the public tertiary education workforce

  

  This report provides an analysis that allows us to see how institutional strategies have evolved in the light of changing policy over the last ten years (2001 to 2011). Key findings include:

  • Polytechnics and universities now employ a higher proportion of professors due to the ‘drag effect’ of an ageing workforce, that is, people entering as lecturers and staying to become senior lecturers or professors.
  • Universities now employ a higher proportion of senior academic staff, in response to the greater focus on research performance.
  • Universities have moved to more part-time teaching staff to help manage the costs of the shift to senior academic staff.
  • Universities and polytechnics now employ a similar proportion of part-time teaching staff
