International Education Agenda

The government has launched its strategy for international education for the next five years. This is an important document that sets the direction for government's engagement in international education, and identifies priority areas for government action. It describes how New Zealand can achieve the internationalised education system we need to be fully integrated with the global economy. The strategy goes beyond the traditional focus on hosting international students. It provides a framework for the wide variety of international education providers, including primary, intermediate and secondary schools, universities, polytechnics, Private Training Establishments, English language schools, and other organisations involved in intercultural learning and exchange.
