"Latest research finds student success linked to tertiary support services and academic staff development

The Ministry of Education today released research showing tertiary institutions can do a lot to ensure their students achieve success within the tertiary education system.

The Ministry’s research report called Impact of Student Support Services and Academic Development Programmes on Student Outcomes in Undergraduate Tertiary Study: A Synthesis of the Research specifically looks at the impact of student support services and academic staff development on student outcomes in undergraduate tertiary education in New Zealand.

The research report notes that students
are more likely to succeed when they have access to pre-enrolment advice, academic counselling, opportunities to develop social networks, manageable workloads and good quality teaching." (Scoop)
