Educational attainment in Taranaki - university graduates

Dr Robert Shaw made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education

The request was successful.

From: Dr Robert Shaw

Dear Ministry of Education,

I was interested to read these statistics in relation to Auckland suburbs;
"Over 40 per cent of residents in parts of Auckland (Waitemata, Orakei and Albert-Eden) and Wellington have a bachelor's degree or higher qualification.Next door, in Otahuhu, less than 10 per cent of the population have such qualifications."

Can you please indicte the comparative statistics as follows:
a) The startistics for each of New Zealand's provinces.
b) The statatistics for each of suburbs, towns and rural areas in Taranaki.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Robert Shaw
