NZs Offshore Public Tertiary Education Programmes

The Government's Export Education Strategy foreshadowed further work by the Ministry of Education on policy issues surrounding the growth of offshore education programmes offered by New Zealand providers. An initial stocktake of offshore activity by New Zealand's public tertiary providers has been completed and an analysis of results is outlined in the report below.
Opportunities for further analysis
41. The information presented in this report provides an overview of the offshore education situation for New Zealand's public tertiary providers in 2001. There is scope for further analysis of the data collected and for a more detailed comparison between the situation in New Zealand and that in our export education competitor countries such as Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Both the information presented in this report and any further analysis undertaken will be utilised by the Ministry in future development of export education policy.
