No. 24

● 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.

Guiding Principles for Profiles

To achieve all these purposes, the processes and requirements for Profile 2005-07 have been specifically designed to maximise
the presence of following principles:

Adding Value to the Tertiary System – the system of Profiles must minimise bureaucracy and unnecessary compliance
activities. It must provide the sector with useful information that assists TEOs in their own planning, monitoring, and
review activities.

Consistent but Responsive – the system of Profiles must take a consistent but responsive approach to Profile requirements
for different parts of the sector (i.e. the core requirements are common across the sector but the design also takes into
account the particular operational and legislative characteristics of different parts of the sector).

Reciprocity – the system of Profiles involves working with the sector to facilitate implementation of the TES and the STEP
and to achieve the results agreed with the sector. Profiles must ensure processes are of benefit to TEOs and to TEC.

Autonomy of Tertiary Education Institutions (TEIs) – the system of Profiles must recognise the legislative autonomy of
TEIs and the multiple and distinct accountabilities of TEIs.

Sector Involvement – encouraging the involvement of the sector in the specification of the information and other
requirements for Profiles.
