Description

The economic impact of international students is surging. 

New Stats NZ data shows education-related travel exports jumped to $4.52 billion in the year to September, up from $3.6 billion the previous year. 

Education New Zealand wants to increase that figure to $7.2 billion by 2034. 

Chief Executive Amanda Malu told Mike Hosking growth is across all sectors and there’s still room to expand. 

She says universities have higher enrolments than they've ever had, schools are growing, and private training has grown 33%.
