1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Significant changes in departmental and non-departmental appropriations related to tertiary and international education between 2014/15 and 2022/23 are discussed briefly below.
Departmental Output Expenses
Movements in departmental output expenses largely relate to:
- participation in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies from 2012/13 to 2015/16 and from 2019/20 to 2022/23, 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:
- 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, provision for about 5,500 more apprentices by 2020, and the establishment of Information and Communication Technology Graduate Schools
- additional funding for research, including increasing the Performance-Based Research Fund from 2018 and increasing the number of Centres of Research Excellence (CoRE) from 2015, including the establishment of one focused on Maori research in 2016
- additional funding for International Connections for New Zealanders, including Centres of Asia-Pacific Excellence from 2017
- funding from 2017 to help New Zealand universities recruit world-leading entrepreneurial academics
- integrating Careers New Zealand into the Tertiary Education Commission from 2017/18
- implementation of first-year fees-free policy from 1 January 2018, and
- 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 and to 1,500 per year from July 2020.
Benefits or Related Expenses
Changes in benefits or related expenses are largely related to:
- end of apprenticeships 're-boot' programme in 2014/15
- addressing pressures on Medical Trainee Intern Grants from 2015/16
- 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, and
- the transfer of the Maori and Pasfika Trades Training (MPTT) Tools Subsidy fund to the MPTT Consortium fund (in non-departmental output expense Tertiary Sector/Industry Collaboration Projects) from 2019.
Non-Departmental Other Expenses
Significant changes in these appropriations mainly reflect:
- 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), and
- provision for impairment of the concessionary loan by the Crown to Unitec Institute of Technology in 2018/19.
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
- financial support for Tai Poutini Polytechnic from 2016/17 to 2018/19, Whitireia New Zealand in 2018/19 and Unitec Institute of Technology in 2018/19 and 2019/20.
Crown Revenue
Significant changes between years mainly reflect recoveries of surplus grants funding from the Tertiary Education Commission and the tertiary education sector.
