This page relates to EPI reports using our previous methodology. You can also view the EPI reports for individual TEOs using our current methodology.
The information in the EPI reports provides a snapshot of selected performance indicators and does not give a comprehensive picture of a TEO’s overall performance.
What funds are reported on
The information published here is based only on tertiary education funded by:
the Student Achievement Component funds – SAC Levels 3 and above, SAC Levels 1 and 2 (competitive) and SAC Levels 1 and 2 (non-competitive)
Youth Guarantee
the Industry Training Fund.
Note that the effects of the Canterbury earthquakes may have had an impact on student performance for Canterbury-based TEOs.
More detail about what each of the indicators show is also available.

Where to go for additional information
New Zealand Qualifications Authority and the Academic Quality Agency for New Zealand Universities (AQA) undertake external reviews of the quality of tertiary providers and publish review reports on their websites.
Note about EFTS
Where an organisation is funded for fewer than five Equivalent Full Time Students (EFTS), there is no individual data available for them. This is to ensure individual students cannot be identified.
Where an organisation has fewer than 30 EFTS at a level of study, no information will be available for that level of study. This is to ensure statistically robust sample sizes that allow for comparison.

The Government is backing innovation to grow New Zealand’s high-value aquaculture exports, with a $455,000 investment from the new Primary Sector Growth Fund to support the development of specialised feed for King salmon, Agriculture, Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay announced today.
The $1.2 million project—led by global aquafeed company Skretting—will design feed tailored specifically for New Zealand’s King salmon, supporting the growth of open ocean farming and helping reduce costs for local producers.
“This funding comes from the Primary Sector Growth Fund, announced in Budget 2025 to support forward-leaning, high-impact projects that will drive productivity, innovation and export growth across the sector,” Mr McClay says.
“Feed is the biggest cost for salmon farmers. Getting it right is essential if we want to scale production and lift farmgate returns.”
“This is part of our plan to grow aquaculture into a $3 billion industry. With the launch of Invest New Zealand this month, we’re also making it easier for world-leading innovators like Skretting to invest and grow here.”
The initiative comes as New Zealand’s first open ocean salmon farm—Blue Endeavour—receives final resource consent. Once operational, it is expected to produce 10,000 tonnes of salmon annually and generate up to $300 million in export revenue each year.
“This is about backing technology and expertise to lift productivity and strengthen the global competitiveness of our salmon industry,” Mr McClay says.
Research will focus on optimising feed for King salmon in New Zealand’s unique conditions—supporting sustainable, low-impact farming while boosting returns at the farm gate.
“This is another practical step in our wider plan to double the value of New Zealand’s exports over the next decade. We’re backing sectors with high growth potential and supporting the science that will help get them there,” Mr McClay says.

A teenager who allegedly attempted to steal a car from the Sunnyvale park-n-ride had the brakes put on his plans after Police showed up.
Waitematā West Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Kelly Farrant, says officers were out patrolling yesterday morning at local park-n-rides due to recent reports of vehicle and number plate thefts.
While in the area, a report of a person breaking into a vehicle came through.
“Officers responded immediately, blocking in the vehicle in question and taking the young person into custody.”
Inspector Farrant says a 13-year-old male was arrested and has been referred to Youth Aid Services.
“It was fantastic work by our local staff, patrolling recent hot spots and acting quickly to hold those responsible to account.
“Thanks also to the public and our partners for calling 111 when they saw suspicious activity.
“Police take all crime seriously and work hard to be in the right place at the right time to prevent crime and harm.”

Threatened-Nationally Vulnerable shortjaw kōkopu are found only in Aotearoa. As juveniles, they are one of six species known as whitebait.
Over the past year, DOC Ranger Suze Harris has inserted 12.5 mm-long PIT (passive integrated transponder) tags under the skin of 41 shortjaws living in a tributary of Kaniere River, Hokitika.
The inserted PIT tags allow her to track individual fish via a detector blue-toothed to her phone.
“We need to know the females’ spawning time so we can track down nesting sites. This helps us target conservation efforts such as trapping – since rats eat shortjaw kōkopu eggs. We can also make recommendations under the Resource Management Act on the timing of activities, like earthworks, that sometimes occur along stream margins.”
Suze also says although the West Coast remains a shortjaw stronghold, with enviable populations compared to the rest of the country, some streams with previously strong populations are being claimed by other whitebait species – and the shortjaws have either significantly decreased or gone altogether.
“The usual freshwater monitoring methods, like electric fishing, don’t work well on shortjaws. Their preference for deep rocky pools and their flitty behaviour makes them hard to survey.
“PIT tagging the fish means I don’t have to keep recapturing them. Instead, when I’m monitoring in the field, my phone might ping, I’ll look at a summary of the fish on my phone and think, ‘oh, that’s Charlie Brown, who is male – I’ll leave him alone because I’m looking for females at the moment’.”
Shortjaw reproduction occurs in late autumn, with males producing milt (sperm) and raring to go earlier than females.
“Males dominate the Hokitika site. We still haven’t managed to tag a female – they’re so elusive. But tagging males helps because their presence indicates the right conditions for spawning, meaning females are likely to show up soon.
Suze was granted animal ethics approval to tag up to 50 shortjaws. She tagged a total of 41 in February 2024 and 2025. Of those, 39 are giving signals from live fish.
New Zealand’s native species, like shortjaw kōkopu, are unique and special, with 88 per cent of our fishes found nowhere else in the world. DOC freshwater rangers throughout the country are identifying populations of shortjaw kōkopu so DOC can work with iwi, hāpu, councils, landowners and community groups to protect them.
Shortjaw kōkopu are a migratory galaxiid species (named for their skin which looks like a galaxy of stars). Their largest populations are in Northland, Taranaki, Wairarapa, Tasman, Marlborough and the West Coast.
PIT tags are the same technology used to microchip dogs and cats, with a variety of sizes as appropriate for the animal.
As the fish being tagged are adults, and it is the juvenile fish which are eaten as part of the whitebait catch, there is no chance of a PIT tag being eaten by a human.

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising drivers that critical safety barrier repairs and other maintenance work on State Highway 2 in Upper Hutt will begin on Sunday 13 July, weather permitting.
Three sections of wire rope barrier and one section of roadside barrier require repairs. Because the barriers are next to live traffic lanes, road closures are required to keep road crews safe.
Resurfacing patches and line marking will also take place to make the most of the road closure. These works will make the state highway safer and more resilient.
Roxanne Hilliard, Wellington Alliance Manager, says the work is essential because safety barriers can literally be the difference between life and death.
“Median barriers virtually eliminate head-on crashes and reduce deaths and serious injuries from run-off-road crashes by around 40 to 50 percent.
“For the safety of all road users it’s vital that we repair barriers after they are struck and damaged. Investing in repairs helps reduce crash risk and the chance of people being hurt or killed. The sooner we do it, the safer road users will be.” Ms Hilliard says.
“NZTA understands that the delays for road users while repairs are carried out are inconvenient, but serious crashes cause even greater delays and can see roads closed for hours,” Ms Hilliard says.
