Chris McKeen/Stuff Afiqah Ramizi, president of the New Zealand International Students Association and a medical student at Auckland University. She says universities need to recognise that international students are not immune to financial hardship caused by Covid-19. New Zealand’s international education sector used to be a major part of the economy. The $5 billion it pumped into the country annually supported around 45,000 jobs and made it New Zealand’s fifth-largest export earner.
