1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Significant changes in departmental and non-departmental appropriations related to tertiary and international education between 2013/14 and 2021/22 are discussed briefly below.
Departmental Output Expenses
Movements in departmental output expenses largely relate to:
- transfer of underspends in 2012/13 to 2013/14 to fund the development of a creative industries vocational pathway and associated materials
- participation in the OECD Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies concluding in 2015/16
- progress on the Tertiary Information Future State work programme that commenced in 2013/14, and
- implementation of the Government's first-year fees-free policy from 1 January 2018.
The departmental output expenses were transferred to a multi-category appropriation from 2016/17.
Non-Departmental Output Expenses
Most tertiary education funding is through non-departmental output expenses. Three significant non-departmental output expenses were transferred to the Tertiary Tuition and Training multi-category appropriation from 2016/17.
The major changes to these appropriations over the trend period are principally owing to:
- expansion of the Youth Guarantee programme, including provision of fees-free places at tertiary institutions offset by transfers into the new Secondary-Tertiary Interface appropriation in Vote Education to fund Trades Academy places from 2013
- initiatives to revitalise the industry training system, introduce New Zealand Apprenticeships in 2014 and expand Maori and Pasifika Trades Training between 2013/14 and 2019/20
- ensuring the country's skills base supports the needs of industry and encourages innovation - strengthening provision in areas of specific priority, such as engineering, science, agriculture and health sciences, with targeted increases to relevant tuition subsidies, the establishment of Information and Communication Technology graduate schools from mid-2015, and closing the gap in funding between private training and public providers in 2013 and 2014
- funding for beneficiaries to be referred to specialist English for Speakers of Other Language providers, or to address intensive literacy and numeracy needs and for Student Achievement Component fees-free provision for 20 to 24-year-olds at New Zealand Qualifications Framework Level 1-2 (transferred from Vote Social Development from 2013/14)
- additional funding for research, including increasing the Performance-Based Research Fund to $315 million from 2018 and increasing the number of Centres of Research Excellence (CoRE) from 2016, including the establishment of one focused on Maori research
- increased funding for international education, including promotions from 2013
- funding for Centres of Asia-Pacific Excellence from 2017
- funding from 2017 to help New Zealand universities recruit world-leading entrepreneurial academics
- additional English language course provision following the response to the Syrian refugee crisis and an increased quota of refugees to 1,000 places from 2018/19
- integrating Careers New Zealand into the Tertiary Education Commission from 2017/18, and
- additional tuition subsidy funding for expected growth related to making the first year of tertiary education or training fees-free for new students from 1 January 2018.
Benefits or Related Expenses
Changes in benefits or related expenses are largely related to:
- an apprenticeships 're-boot' between 2013/14 and 2014/15 and support for other apprentices
- addressing pressures on Medical Trainee Intern Grants from 2015/16
- delivering support to graduate-entry students affected by seven EFTS limit in long undergraduate programmes in 2015, and
- recategorising the Prime Minister's Scholarships for Asia from non-departmental output expense International Education Programmes, expanding the fund and establishing the Prime Minister's Scholarships for other regions from 2016/17.
Non-Departmental Other Expenses
Significant changes in these appropriations mainly reflect:
- funding to support mergers of Tertiary Education Institutions that ceased in 2013/14
- University of Auckland Starpath Project funding that ceased in 2014/15, and
- making the first year of tertiary education or training fees-free for new students from 1 January 2018 (under the Tertiary Tuition and Training multi-category appropriation).
Non-Departmental Capital Expenditure
The major changes in non-departmental capital expenditure relate mainly to:
- assisting Christchurch tertiary education institutions to rebuild facilities after the impact of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, and
- support for Tai Poutini Polytechnic from 2016/17 to 2018/19.
Crown Revenue
Significant changes between years mainly reflect recoveries of surplus grants funding from the Tertiary Education Commission and the tertiary education sector, and a share of earthquake-related insurance settlements from the University of Canterbury as provided for in their capital funding agreement.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This is a new appropriation in 2018/19 of $64.014 million that has been created by combining the non-departmental output expense appropriations Administration of and Support for the Careers System and Administration of and Support for the Tertiary Sector. The reorganisation of appropriations for 2018/19 is also set out in Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure.
The $5.626 million decrease in this appropriation for 2018/19 compared to the equivalent appropriation in 2017/18 is mainly due to a combination of:
- one-off provision in 2017/18 for the integration of Careers New Zealand functions into the Tertiary Education Commission ($4 million decrease)
- provision for quality evaluation of the Performance-Based Research Fund in 2017/18 ($1 million decrease)
- funds transferred from Vote Education to support the changes to the careers system being higher in 2017/18 than in 2018/19 ($726,000 decrease)
- reduced funding for supporting Better Public Services and the Business Growth Agenda within Vote Tertiary Education ($411,000 decrease), and
- partly offset by several small increases including provision for first-year fees-free tertiary education and training ($385,000 increase) and managing International Connections for New Zealanders ($125,000 increase).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
Capital injection of $8.500 million over two years (2017/18 and 2018/19) to keep Tai Poutini Polytechnic operating while work continues on the sustainability of polytechnic and the Crown Manager continues to make operational and educational improvements. This funding is in addition to the $3.600 million capital injection provided in 2016/17 to maintain provision on the West Coast while future options for Tai Poutini Polytechnic are considered.
The $4.400 million decrease in this appropriation for 2018/19 is due to the different cash flow requirements between years that the additional funding was allocated for.

Note 6 - This uses a new cohort based methodology for qualification completions. Unlike the Equivalent Full Time Student-weighted qualification completion rate, the new methodologies provide a more meaningful reflection of a tertiary education organisation's performance. Cohort based measures track individual enrolments in qualifications and are not susceptible to rate changes due to external factors such as fluctuations in enrolment patterns throughout the year.
Note 7 - This uses a new cohort based methodology for industry training programme completion. The new methodology for the programme completion rate provides a more meaningful reflection of an industry training organisation's performance. Unlike the nominal credit-weighted programme completion rate, the cohort based measure tracks individual enrolments in programmes. It is not susceptible to external factors such as fluctuations in enrolment patterns throughout the year.
Note 8 - 2017 estimated percentage of combined non-Maori and non-Pasifika completing industry training programmes is 69%.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
The $93.499 million increase in this appropriation for 2018/19 is mainly due to a combination of:
- underspends and recoveries from provider-based programmes due to demand and/or delivery of programmes being lower than the level able to be funded in 2017/18 ($47.500 million increase)
- increased provision for the first-year fees-free policy ($44.800 million increase)
- a one percent increase in tuition subsidy rates at qualification Level 3 and above in Budget 2017 ($9.905 million increase)
- a transfer in 2017/18 to non-departmental output expense Tertiary Education Research and Research-Based Teaching to provide for the full cost of increasing the Performance-Based Research Fund to $15 million annually from 1 January 2018 in Budget 2017 ($7.500 million increase)
- a forecast decline in demand for provider-based programmes in 2018/19 ($12.350 million decrease), and
- transfer from 2016/17 to 2017/18 to manage the transition to meet increased demand for employer-led workplace literacy and numeracy delivery ($3.500 million decrease).
