Reporting for Equity funding

TEOs should outline their support for the Equity funding learner groups as part of their normal Investment Plan documentation, this includes a Learner Success Plan where applicable.

Equity funding for students with disabilities

We collect information from tertiary education institutions (TEIs) on their use of Equity funding for students with disabilities.

Collecting this data is very important, as it supports work being undertaken by the TEC and the Ministry of Education to improve outcomes for disabled learners in the tertiary sector. The detailed information provided by TEIs on the challenges, highlights and successes of supporting disabled learners helps inform work on funding needs. It will also continue to be reviewed to gauge additional content needs for the Kia Ōrite Toolkit.

• The Kia Ōrite Toolkit – A New Zealand code of practice to achieve an inclusive and equitable tertiary education environment for disabled learners.

The data is collected through the ‘Equity funding: Tertiary students with disabilities’ reporting template, which captures various types of learners and resourcing information, such as costs, staff numbers, services provided, learners accessing the services, challenges faced by TEIs, etc.
