1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Following a review of the structure of Vote Education appropriations in 2015, a number of changes have been made to the Vote. Two new multi-category appropriations have been established. Several minor technical changes have also been made that were identified in the appropriations review. These changes take effect from 2016/17 and are detailed in Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure.
Significant changes in departmental and non-departmental appropriations related to early childhood education and schooling between 2011/12 and 2019/20 are discussed briefly below.
Departmental Expenditure
The largest component of departmental output expenditure relates to provision of school land and buildings, including capital charge, depreciation and net losses. The major changes here result from movements in the value of the property portfolio after additional government investment in schools, the annual upward or downward revaluation of the portfolio (including impairment of assets) and disposals.
Other significant changes to departmental funding include:
- increased provision for services for students with special education needs, including provision for teachers' aides, and additional in-class support, provision for intensive wraparound services, adjustments to funding levels for the Ongoing Resourcing Scheme and School High Health Needs Fund (both for price and volume changes) and settlements of related collective agreements. This is partly offset by a transfer of some Ongoing Resourcing Scheme funding to non-departmental appropriation Special Needs Support where it is managed by other providers
- support for Youth Mental Health initiatives and other initiatives like assessments for vulnerable children and achievement and investment management
- development of new education payroll systems and related advisory services, as well as remediating Novopay mainly from 2012/13 to 2014/15, development of other systems, such as the Early Learning Information system and an education-wide funding system
- support for ultra-fast broadband in schools, including implementation of the School Network Upgrade Project and initiatives to support the implementation of a managed network for all schools
- supporting implementation of Youth Guarantee initiatives
- implementation of the Student Achievement Function and subsequent other activities to support the better public services targets, including reprioritisation of some funds, and
- efficiency savings through reducing the general cost of Ministry outputs from 2012/13, including absorbing the employer subsidy cost for superannuation.
Departmental output expense appropriations Interventions for Target Student Groups and Support and Resources for Teachers have been moved to multi-category appropriations from 2016/17.
Departmental Capital Expenditure
Most capital expenditure for the Ministry of Education is for the school property works programme. Movements between years mainly relate to factors such as site purchases and the timing of roll growth and redevelopment projects. There is also increased focus on expenditure in Christchurch to remediate damage from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. Also included is expenditure on the School Network Upgrade Project and broadband initiatives as well as development of information systems.
Capital Injections
Additional capital provided to the Ministry over the periods mainly relates to construction of new schools and additional classrooms required for roll growth, as well as repairing or replacing buildings damaged in Christchurch related to the earthquakes.
In addition, there has been investment in broadband for schools and school network upgrades, as well as new systems, including the Early Learning Information system and Education Resourcing System.
Non-Departmental Outputs
Changes in non-departmental output expenses are principally owing to a combination of:
- steady growth in the cost of school transport services, partly offset by cost savings in special education transport services from 2013 and other efficiency savings from 2015/16
- consolidating funding for secondary-tertiary programmes under a common cash-based resourcing model from 2013 and reallocations from Youth Guarantee funding (in Vote Tertiary Education) for additional Trades Academy places
- support for purchase of services from the provider of a managed network for schools since 2013/14
- increasing early childhood education participation through providing prioritised support, a retention programme for Maori-medium beginning teachers and improving school governance through increased support for boards of trustees from 2013/14
- reducing commitments to a variety of programmes from 2013/14 and improving the cost effectiveness of professional learning and development from 2016/17
- provision for Home Interaction Programme for Parents and Youngsters moved from Vote Social Development from 2016/17, and
- support for the Education Council of Aotearoa New Zealand from 2015/16 and provision for a teacher-led innovation fund from 2015/16 to 2019/20.
Non-departmental output expense appropriations Professional Development and Support, Curriculum Support and Service Academies have been moved to multi-category appropriations from 2016/17.
Benefits or Related Expenses
Changes in benefit expenses are largely related to:
- initiatives to attract students to careers in teaching, including introduction of a voluntary bonding scheme for teachers in hard-to-staff areas, or subjects, from 2012, although this was reduced from 2012/13 following an easing of the teacher supply position. There were also transfers of funding to Vote Social Development for teacher trainee scholarship payment and other reprioritisations, and
- increases in the number of National Study Awards available to existing teachers as a result of settlements of collective agreements and provision of awards for top-performing teachers; partly offset by reductions in the schooling and early childhood education sectors and partly from reprioritisation of the baseline and to better reflect actual demand.
Non-Departmental Other Expenses
Other expense appropriations account for most funding under Vote Education. Changes in these appropriations mainly reflect a combination of:
- roll-related increases in early childhood education sessional payments, as well as revised funding rates. Policy changes from Budget 2010 slowed the rate of increase in early childhood education funding and improved targeting of resources to increase participation among Maori and Pasifika children and those in low socio-economic areas. From 2013 there is increased funding to achieve the 98% participation target under Better Public Services
- extending equity funding to all early childhood education services in 2011 and increased funding from 2012/13
- provision for implementing the Youth Package from 2012/13 and for establishing partnership schools from 2013/14
- roll-related increases in funding for schooling, including for teacher salaries, as well as provision for improved schools' operations funding rates
- the impact of wage settlements for teachers and principals (including the flow-on of these costs to the early childhood education sector) as well as changes to ACC rates and superannuation subsidies
- implementation of Investing in Educational Success from 2015
- other initiatives in the schooling sector, including support for students to meet literacy and numeracy standards, and provision for Youth Guarantee services, although partly offset by transfers to output expenses by consolidating funding for secondary-tertiary programmes
- support for the special education sector, including a transfer of some Ongoing Resourcing Scheme funding from departmental output expense Interventions for Target Student Groups where it is managed by providers other than the Ministry of Education, continuing implementation of the Positive Behaviour for Learning initiative and amalgamation of the Resource Teachers Learning and Behaviour and Supplementary Learning Support services, as well as sustaining momentum on New Zealand sign language education
- flow-on effect to integrated schools of some initiatives, including the School Network Upgrade Project
- provision for occasional impairment and balance sheet adjustments, and
- impact of reprioritisation decisions and other efficiencies.
Non-departmental other expense appropriation Special Needs Support has been moved to a multi-category appropriation from 2016/17.
Non-Departmental Capital Expenditure
The major changes in non-departmental capital expenditure over the period relate to incentives for the disposal of surplus properties until 2014/15, funding for furniture and equipment for new school buildings, the School Network Upgrade Project and broadband initiatives. There was also working capital for two new agencies - The Network for Learning Ltd and Education Payroll Ltd along with a transfer of assets for the latter.
Revenue
Non-tax revenue at the beginning of the period mainly relates to recoveries of the State Services Retirement Savings Scheme and KiwiSaver contributions from Vote State Services. Revenue has reduced from 2012/13 after central funding of retirement contributions through Vote State Services ceased.

Total Changes in Appropriation | 5,997,722 | - | 5,997,722 | 6,038,860 |
After a review of Vote Education a range of changes to appropriations have been implemented from 2016/17 as follows:
- Departmental output expense Interventions for Target Student Groups, non-departmental output expenses Service Academies and Curriculum Support (Component: Students Attendance and Engagement) and non-departmental other expense Special Needs Support have been combined into a Multi-Category Appropriation called Outcomes for Target Student Groups MCA, with an overarching purpose to improve outcomes for targeted student groups.
- Departmental output expense Support and Resources for Teachers and non-departmental output expenses Professional Development and Support and the balance of Curriculum Support have been combined into a Multi-Category Appropriation called Improved Quality Teaching and Learning MCA, with an overarching purpose to improve the quality of teaching and learning for children and young people aged up to18 years.
- It has been determined that payments to teachers who assist in the provision of school transport fall within the scope of non-departmental other expenses appropriations Primary Education and Secondary Education and that a separate appropriation for School Transport Bus Controllers is no longer required.
Explanations of the reasons for changing the appropriation structure are noted in the details of each appropriation in Parts 2-4.

- changes in rolls ($1.829 million increase)
- changes in global rating adjustments - anticipated price adjustments allowed for in transport contracts for fuel, wages, road user charges and other operating costs based on movements in several price indices such as the producer price index ($1.489 million decrease), and
- savings from operational efficiencies ($2.121 million decrease).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This is a new multi-category appropriation in 2016/17 created by combining three former appropriations and an element of a fourth as shown in the Comparators for Restructured Appropriation table above. The reorganisation of appropriations for 2016/17 is also set out in Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure.
The $20.416 million increase in this appropriation for 2016/17 compared to equivalent appropriations in 2015/16 is mainly due to a combination of:
- increase in demand for the Ongoing Resourcing Scheme ($5.090 million increase)
- replacement of the legacy Education Sector Logon service with an all-of-government identity and access management system that would enable interaction with other agencies related to but outside the education system ($4.950 million increase)
- additional salary costs mainly from increased rolls, changes in the level of effective average rates, and settlement of collective employment agreements ($3.950 million increase)
- increased access to the Intensive Wraparound Service ($2.620 million increase), and
- increased availability of in-class support for students with special education needs ($2.155 million increase).
