How the TEC works

They interact with a broad range of TEO[1]s on a number of topics including funding, performance and policy.

Theirwebsite is our main channel for communicating with those TEOs (as well as learners, education agencies, other government departments and the public), providing a broad range of information, online tools and other useful resources.

All the information you need to work with them or to learn about the tertiary education sector is included on their site. You can also ask them questions online which go directly to their Service Centre to answer. The Service Centre is also the main channel for telephone and email contact with them.

Tertiary education institutions and industry training organisations are also assigned investment managers to provide them with advice and support for understanding our policies, procedures and process requirements.

Through the M?ori Strategy Directorate, they provide leadership to the sector on tertiary education strategy and provision for M?ori and Pacific peoples. The directorate supports them in building capacity and capability to address the development aspirations of these people.
