New Zealand School System: benefits for international students

International students are becoming commonplace in a global education market which must cater for the increased mobility of students and staff. The New Zealand school system, in an effort to capture its share of this global education market, has been steadily introducing attractive new initiatives to benefit international students who wish to study in New Zealand.

Students can enter the NZ education system at any level. They can choose from more than 100 private providers, 400 high schools, 35 state polytechnics and institutions of technology, 5 colleges of education, and 8 state universities.

International students benefit from a comprehensive range of new initiatives which have been steadily introduced to the NZ school system.  These initiatives are improving the quality of education for international students at every level, offering support in the classroom and improving the methods used by government agencies and groups who administer the NZ education system.

Every aspect of the education system has been intensively restructured to cater for international students.
.

• There is now a comprehensive system in place to support school Boards of Trustees, principals, teachers, international students and their families.
• The New Zealand education system is strengthening relationships with its schools, and with overseas education ministries, with a strong focus on building recognition of NZ qualifications amongst overseas education providers.

The NZ education system has never before been more focused on helping international students achieve their educational goals.
