1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends
Significant changes in departmental and non-departmental appropriations related to early childhood
education and schooling between 2016/17 and 2024/25 are discussed briefly below.
Departmental Expenditure
The largest component of departmental output expenditure relates to the provision of school land and
buildings, including capital charge, depreciation and Public Private Partnership contractual payments. The
major changes here relate to movements in the value of the property portfolio after additional government
investment in schools, the annual revaluation of the portfolio and property disposals. There are also
increased costs related to delivering a more extensive works programme and managing a growing
property portfolio. In 2020/21, the capital charge rate was reduced from 6% to 5% from 1 July 2020.
Other significant changes to departmental funding include:
• increased provision for services for students with learning support needs, including provision for teacher
aides, and additional in-class support, Intensive Wraparound Services, adjustments to funding levels for
the Ongoing Resourcing Scheme (ORS), School High Health Needs Fund, teacher aides and other
supports (both for price and volume changes) and settlements for related collective agreements
• the development of various systems, such as an education-wide funding system, and initiatives to
support the implementation of a managed network for all schools and support for the design and
delivery of curriculum resources for students and teachers in Māori language in education provision,
in particular Māori-medium education
• provision for improving and accelerating education outcomes for Pacific learners to ensure they and
their families have their identities, languages and cultures valued and respected and have the skills,
knowledge, and equitable opportunities to pursue any education pathway
• support for the implementation of Communities of Learning | Kāhui Ako that peaked in 2017/18
and 2018/19
• provision for improving data quality, availability and timeliness which will enable the education system
to know about the people in its care and how best to position services in a timely and efficient manner,
and that will address the needs of each learner and their community and whānau
• expanding and extending the Ka Ora, Ka Ako | Healthy School Lunches programme
• initiatives for raising the profile of and strengthening the pipeline into vocational education
• supporting the maintenance of services through capital operating swaps, procurement efficiency
savings and occasional transfers from non-departmental programmes
• delivery of the extensive education work programme
• provision for the cost of establishing, designing and implementing the required changes to ensure
that the schools payroll service is compliant with Holidays Act 2003 legislation (and assessing and

Departmental output expense appropriations Interventions for Target Student Groups and Support and
Resources for Teachers were moved to multi-category appropriations from 2016/17, and Stewardship
of the Education System and Policy Advice were moved to another multi-category appropriation from
2017/18. Support and Resources for Education Providers was moved to the Primary and Secondary
Education MCA from 2020/21.
Departmental Capital Expenditure
Most capital expenditure by the Ministry of Education relates to the State school property portfolio, either
through school projects or projects managed by the Ministry. Movements between years mainly relate to
factors such as site purchases and the timing of new schools' roll-growth classrooms and redevelopment
projects. There is also an ongoing focus on expenditure in Christchurch to remediate damage from the
2010 and 2011 earthquakes and reflect demographic change. Also included is expenditure on school
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) network upgrades (including broadband), as well as
the development of information systems.

Capital Injections
Additional capital provided to the Ministry over the period mainly relates to the expansion and upgrading
of the school property portfolio (including the School Investment Package and National Education
Growth Plan), the Christchurch Schools' Rebuild Programme, and repayment of service concession
liabilities to the private sector partners for schools built under Public Private Partnerships. Also reflected
is provision for energy efficiency initiatives in schools, the development and upgrade of information
systems such as the Education Resourcing System, and to address learners' needs by improving data
quality, availability, timeliness and capability, the establishment of the Learning Support Coordinator roles
in State and State-integrated schools, the introduction of the decarbonisation programme replacing coal
boilers in schools, growth in existing and new schools, delivery of Māori-medium education, and reform
of the Tomorrow's Schools system.
Non-Departmental Outputs
From 2018/19, most non-departmental other expense appropriations and categories under multi-category
appropriations were reclassified as non-departmental output expenses, including Early Childhood
Education, Primary Education, Secondary Education and Learning Support (under the Outcomes for
Target Student Groups MCA).
From 2020/21, the largest appropriations in the Vote (Primary Education and Secondary Education) have
been combined under Primary and Secondary Education MCA, together with secondary-tertiary interface
and school risk management scheme funding.
From 2021/22, Contribution to the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand, UNESCO and
Education Research Initiatives under Oversight of the Education System MCA are combined under a
new non-departmental output appropriation Contributions to Other Education-related Organisations.
Learning Support and Service Academies categories under Outcomes for Target Student Groups MCA
are merged into a new category Learning Support and Alternative Education.
Changes in non-departmental output expenses are principally owing to a combination of:
• roll-related increases in early childhood education sessional payments, as well as revised funding
rates and increased provision for equity funding
• roll-related increases in funding for schooling, including teacher salaries, as well as provision
for improved operations funding rates for schools
• the impact of wage settlements for teachers and principals (including the flow-on of these costs to the
early childhood education sector), as well as changes to Accident Compensation Commission (ACC)
rates and the take up of superannuation subsidies
• provision for current and former school staff who have not been paid in accordance with the
requirements of the Holidays Act 2003
• the impact of pay equity settlements for school staff such as teacher aides, as well as a contribution
toward the settlement of non-teaching staff collective agreements setting the current living wage as
a minimum rate
• funding for schools to replace parental donations to alleviate financial pressure on families who
struggle to pay school donations, as well as benefiting eligible schools by providing greater certainty
of revenue or increased revenue
• provision to increase funding to employ ORS teacher aides for more hours to help with the transition
back to school
