Cost of Service Statement

For the year ending 31 December 2022

For the 2022-2024 Investment Plan the Cost of Service for each outcome has been allocated in accordance with the following methodology:

› Protection covers all programmes and activity to protect and advance Wānanga and mātauranga Māori.

› Participation covers all programmes and activity that provide tauira with the opportunity to participate in tertiary education regardless of age, ethnicity or academic ability.

› Partnership covers all over programmes and activity where we partner with others to achieve specific educational outcomes.

The Cost of Service statements include budget figures from the 2022-2024 Investment Plan that was approved on 4 August 2021, and the annual budget that was approved on 3 November 2021. These budgets differ as actual Investment Plan funding is approved on an annual basis and is subject to change.

The 2022 Cost of Service results reflect the significant reduction in SAC revenue that was met by a significant reduction in expenditure.

Equal Opportunities

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is committed to providing open, accessible and inclusive study and employment opportunities for all. This commitment is embedded in Ngā Uara, our values that are considered as part of our policies and practices and everything we do as an organisation.

Equal Educational Opportunities

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has a diverse tauira population unlike any other New Zealand tertiary education organisation. Of 25,705 tauira:

› 56% are Māori, 47% European, 10% Pasifika, 10% Asian;

› 76% are female and 23% male;

› 48% are over 40 years of age;

› 13% had no secondary qualifications and 34% had no prior tertiary qualification; and

› 9% have a disability.

Despite the challenges posed by such a diverse student body, we are determined to eliminate barriers to tauira success and boost achievement for Māori and Pasifika tauira.

Our fees-free policy for the majority of sub-degree qualifications is the key component of maintaining accessibility for tauira who would not normally have the financial means to undertake tertiary studies.

Part time, home-based and online learning options provide tauira with the ability to upskill without interrupting employment or other responsibilities.

We also take pride in a values-based educational experience that connects all tauira with their identity so they can succeed in cultural, social and economic contexts.

Equal Employment Opportunities

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is also committed to equal opportunities for our kaimahi. In 2022 there were 1,138 full and part-time kaimahi, including a high proportion of female (71%) and Māori (64%) kaimahi.
