The value of New Zealand’s international education industry has hit another record high as economic distribution rebalances across regions and sectors.

A new report contextualising international education research to New Zealand has highlighted the broader benefits of the industry.

A new report commissioned by Universities New Zealand has revealed most internationalisation activities have a positive economic impact to the country's economy.

Almost two-fifths of New Zealand's international university students were recruited through an agent, but there is still room for growth, according to Studymove's latest report.

Declining visa applications from India have led to a 20% drop in the total number of students applying for a visa to study in New Zealand from offshore in 2016. The first drop in three years.

The latest New Zealand Economic Impact report has seen the value of the country's industry near its NZ$5bn target as PTEs and schools increase market share.

The development of New Zealand’s new international education strategy is underway after Education New Zealand announced the initial consultation period would commence this month.
