The Benefits of Private Tertiary Education
PTEs are often reported to be “private for-profit companies”, “private companies who make a profit off students” or even “private companies that want to make a profit from selling education.”

The Role of Private Tertiary Education
Private tertiary education makes a contribution in almost every sector of New Zealand's economy and community and has done so for over 150 years. Their role is simply to serve the needs of students, employers, community groups and the wider public.
