ENGAGEMENT
Tauira engagement is measured by the number of tauira enrolling
at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and the number of EFTS consumed each
year. During 2013, we recorded a decrease in the number of tauira
enrolling with us. The following chart shows the five year trend for
tauira numbers.
Consumed EFTS
We also recorded an increase (186) in the number of EFTS consumed.
Our EFTS target for 2013 was 20,402 against which we achieved
20,680 EFTS.
The following chart shows the five year trend for consumed EFTS.
Age
In 2013, the proportion of tauira aged under
25 years increased by 2 percentage points
compared with 2012. This increase reflects
one of our objectives to engage more youth
in education. This increase is balanced by
a decrease in the proportion of tauira aged
between 25 to 39 years and those aged 40
years plus. The following chart shows five year
trends for tauira age demographics.

Scholarships
Although there are a range of scholarships
available from independent parties that our
tauira can apply for, we provide additional
financial assistance to our tauira through
Aotearoa Scholarship Trust (AST)
– a charitable trust we established to
administer tauira scholarships. In 2013, AST
awarded 20 scholarships to tauira totalling
$100,000. Scholarships were awarded to
those studying at diploma level and above.
All recipients were studying towards a
qualification that will help them in their work
and the initiatives in which they
are engaged.
