Enrolments at New Zealand Universities, 31 July 1995

From Table 9.12 New Zealand Official Yearbook 1995, Statistics New Zealand, 1996

Course..................................................................Male................Female

• Postgraduate............................................................9007.....................8680

  • Bachelors degrees..................................38841....................45760

  • Institution-awarded certificates...................743......................1421

I note that there are 18 per cent more females than males enrolled in bachelor degrees, and 91 per cent more in institution awarded certificates. There are 36 per cent more males than females enrolled in undergraduate certificates, which possibly merits some policy attention.
