Our projections for 2013 indicate increases in course completion rates of between 1% and 4% across all
indicators. Once again, these improvements are projected based on a range of initiatives currently being
implemented at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Key amongst these are the implementation of Ako Wānanga and a
range of new enrolment processes designed to ensure tauira are enrolled appropriately and provided with all
necessary support.
Successful qualification completion
Qualification completion indicators provide a longer term view of tauira achievement. A qualification is made
up of a number of courses delivered over a period of time that can range from 18 weeks to a number of years.
Tauira who complete qualifications are more likely to gain employment, earn higher incomes and achieve their
career goals.
Overall, our tauira exceeded organisational qualification completion targets by 5% (72% against a target of
67%). Priority learners studying at level 1 to 3 substantially exceeded their qualification completion targets:
tauira Māori exceeded their target by 14%, Pasifika tauira by 8% and under-25 year olds by 13%. Indicators for
tauira studying at level 4 and above were impacted heavily by the introduction of new three-year qualifications.
Tauira on these programmes will not record a qualification completion until completing their final year, starting at
the end of 2014. This affected the overall qualification completion rate for tauira studying at level 4 and above as
well as rates for all priority learners.
Successful qualification completion rates for tauira studying at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in 2012 were as follows:
Our projections for 2013 indicate increases in qualification completion rates of between 1% and 10% across
all indicators. Once again, these improvements are projected based on a range of initiatives currently being
implemented at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Key amongst these are the implementation of Ako Wānanga and a
range of new enrolment processes designed to ensure tauira are enrolled appropriately and provided with all
necessary support.
