New Funding Boosts NZ Schools to Grow International Student Enrolments
The Government is funding a dedicated support function to help schools attract and manage international students, aiming to double the international education sector's value to $7.2 billion by 2034. This support, provided by a specialist organization, will assist schools with marketing, resourcing, homestays, and understanding student wellbeing obligations, benefiting all schools including those not yet enrolling international students. The initiative builds on recent enrolment growth and aims to sustain high-quality economic growth in New Zealand’s international education sector, with the tender opening on the Government Electronic Tender Service by June 2026.
