Subject: Official Information Act request - Student Allowance Postgraduate Grandfathered Statistics

Dear Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment,

1: Could you please provide anonymous raw data of students who at
the time of the law change to disallow postgraduate study to
receive the student allowance were currently enrolled in PhD
programmes and receiving the student allowance. Preferably, this
detail would include the information on how many years each student
had claimed the allowance and when they first enrolled in the PhD
program.

If anonymous raw data is not available, please provide on the
numbers of students studying PhDs who were utilizing the student
allowance scheme at the date when the law was changed.

2: Could you please also provide the research or report that
outlines the governments justification to remove student allowance
assistance from students in the middle of a degree program instead
of allowing them to finish the degree with assistance and only
denying this support to newly started degrees. If this research was
not done, please confirm that the government did not consider this
group of people separately.

3: Could you please also provide the details on the models used to
fund universities in New Zealand. What are the key performance
indicators (KPIs) used to determine university teaching quality and
funding. Specifically, I am interested in any KPIs related to
enrollments, paper pass rate and degree completion rates. PBRF and
Research KPIs are less important. Please also provide the numbers
for these KPIs for universities in New Zealand from 2000-2012.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to S12 of the OIA, I am a New Zealand citizen and
currently reside in New Zealand.

Thanks,

Robert Dunn
