Rebuilding foreign student numbers will take 10 years, MPs told Thursday, April 8, 2021 John Gerritsen for RNZ
Education New Zealand, the government body charged with attracting foreign students, has warned MPs it will take 10 years to rebuild the $5 billion-a-year international education industry.
Appearing before Parliament s Education and Workforce Select Committee today, Education New Zealand chair Steve Maharey said New Zealand enrolled about 120,000 foreign students a year before the pandemic, which was probably close to the maximum the country s education institutions could cope with. In Christchurch for example it took about 10 years to go back to the kind of situation they were in before, he said, referring to the slow recovery of foreign student enrolments in that city after the 2011 earthquake.
