In 2014, we will continue to build on previous successes with targets across all indictors increasing between
1 and 3% except for the indicator for Pasifika tauira studying at level 4 and above which will remain at
83%. By 2016, we aim to ensure that the priority group learners (Māori, Pasifika and under 25 years old) are
achieving educational success at the same rate as all learners.
Successful qualification completion
Qualification completion indicators provide a longer term view of tauira achievement. A qualification is made
up of a number of courses. Qualification completion is important as tauira who complete a qualification earn
higher incomes and are less likely to be unemployed than a person who does not have a qualification.
We were especially encouraged by the qualification completion rates of our tauira which exceeded the
targets across all indicators by between 1 and 10%. These significant achievement levels were forecast
in our 2012 Annual Report as we expected to see tauira success increase as a result of the initiatives we
implemented.
Priority learners performed exceptionally well by exceeding targets across all levels. Tauira Māori exceeded
the level 1 to 3 target by 5% and the level 4 and above target by 7%. Pasifika tauira continued the upward
trend of previous years by exceeding the target by 4% at level 1 to 3 and 1% at level 4 and above. Tauira
aged under 25 also performed well by achieving a qualification completion rates in excess of the targets at
both NQF levels.
The following table shows the qualification completion indicators, results and targets:
Course completion rates for tauira at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa are as follows:
Our projections indicate that qualification completion rates will begin to level off as priority learners begin to
achieve on par with all learners. As with course completion rates, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa aims to ensure that
priority group learners achieve at the same level as all learners by 2016.
