NZs Offshore Public Tertiary Education Programmes
Over recent years there has been a significant increase in New Zealand's public tertiary providers' involvement in offshore activities. 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.
Purpose of the stocktake
5. The Ministry's International Policy & Development Unit conducted an initial stocktake of New Zealand's public tertiary education providers in the area of offshore education using 2001 data. The stocktake results are intended to provide a picture of activity currently being undertaken by New Zealand providers and to assist the Ministry to examine potential for the future and to underpin further policy analysis.
