Tertiary Education Commission

Education Act 1989

Requirements and Exemptions for Interim Profiles for 2003 (for Tertiary Education Institutions, Certain Private Training Establishments and Industry Training Organisations and Exemption for Other Organisations)

Under sections 159X (1) and 159Y (3) (b) of the Education Act 1989, and section 7 of the Education (Tertiary Reform)
Amendment Act 2002, the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) gives the following notice.

Notice

1. Title and commencement—(1) This notice may be cited as the Education (Interim Profiles for Tertiary Education
   Organisations) Notice 2003.

(2) This notice applies from the date of its publication.

2. Introduction—As this is the first notice of the requirements for profiles as described in section 159W of the Education Act
   1989 (as inserted by section 9 of the Education (Tertiary Reform) Amendment Act 2002), TEC believes that it is important to
   advise stakeholders in the tertiary sector of the context within which profiles fit.\n
   The Government has set a new strategic direction for the tertiary education system to ensure that it is more strategically aligned
   to the needs of New Zealand and has a greater focus on excellence. This new direction is outlined in the Tertiary Education
   Strategy 2002-07 (TES).

Derived from this strategy is the Statement of Tertiary Education Priorities (STEP). The role of the STEP is to outline the
short-to-medium term priorities that the Government expects government agencies and publicly funded tertiary education
organisations (public and private tertiary education providers, industry training organisations, government training
organisations and other providers – TEOs) to focus on in order to achieve the goals articulated in the strategy.

Activities to be publicly funded have to be aligned with the TES and the STEP. Charters and profiles are the means by which
TEOs demonstrate their alignment and the assessment of strategic relevance criteria within charters and profiles are the means
by which alignment is assessed.

The charter is a governance document that provides a broad description of a TEO’s mission and distinctive role within the
tertiary system. The profile outlines how a TEO will give effect to its charter and what its contribution in terms of the TES and
STEP will be. Specifically, profiles serve the following purposes. They:

• demonstrate how an organisation will give effect to its charter;
• provide the basis for monitoring organisational performance, accountability for the use of public funds, and meeting other
  statutory requirements;
• contribute to a system-wide map of tertiary provision which can inform TEC in its role of giving effect to the TES;
• encourage relevance of educational provision to stakeholders’ needs;
• encourage greater co-operation and collaboration; and
• provide information on existing and planned programmes and activities as a basis for allocating public funding.
