Impact measures
Our impact measures show the effect that our activities have in the medium-term. In 2013, Te Wānanga o
Aotearoa achieved three of the four targets for the period.
Notably, we continued to have a high number of tauira enrol with us who were experiencing barriers to
accessing education (measure 3.4). These barriers include no previous high school education, having a
disability, being over 35 years of age, being of Māori or Pasifika descent or a beneficiary. To reduce the impact
of these barriers, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa acknowledges the challenges that our tauira may face and ensures
that appropriate support is in place. Whilst the result is significantly over the expected proportion, it shows
that many of our tauira experience real constraints to accessing learning. The following table shows the
measures and targets for this outcome.
The Rautaki Taiao plan (measure 3.2) has been refreshed. Rautaki Taiao now includes three project work
streams focused on reduction in waste, energy and fuel. The refresh of the plan meant that the 25%
implementation target was not achieved.
Joint ventures (measure 3.3) ensure that we remain responsive to our stakeholders, examples of some
initiatives include:
• delivering qualifications that align with iwi education strategies
• co-constructing qualifications with industry that meet their needs
• delivering trade training qualifications with other tertiary education institutions
Outcome measures
The long-term measures for this outcome seek to ensure high levels of educational achievement for people of
Aotearoa New Zealand and protection of the physical environment. Both the Ministry of Environment and Te
Wānanga o Aotearoa share the measure related to greenhouse gas emissions. The result reported below has
been drawn from the Ministry for the Environment Annual Report 2012/13.
The indicators related to NCEA educational achievement form part of the Better Public Services targets and
the results are drawn from information published by the State Services Commission. The following table
shows the measures and targets for this outcome.
