The University Advisory Group (UAG) has been established to provide the government with advice on New Zealand’s university system. UAG members will consider challenges and opportunities for improvement in the university sector, including the role of the Performance Based Research Fund; ways to best achieve equity for all learners; and the role of international education. The Group will provide an initial report to the government in August 2024 and a final report in February 2025. Advice from the Group will inform policy changes, ensuring a robust and forward-thinking university system for New Zealand.
