As part of the government’s commitment to improving openness and transparency in decision making, the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) periodically publishes its advice to the Minister of Education.

The TEC endeavours to publish all titles and papers it provides to the Minister unless there is a good reason not to publish. Good reasons for not publishing papers and titles include, if the information in the papers is commercially sensitive, the release of the information could prejudice negotiations or to protect people's privacy. 

If there are good reasons for doing so, sections of some documents have been withheld. If this is the case, those sections have been clearly marked with references to the Official Information Act (OIA) provided to explain why the information has been withheld.

Documents are available in PDF format only. Accessible versions, where available, can be supplied on request.
