The Ministry of Education, in partnership with the Department of Labour, is releasing its report on the results of the second national survey of international students. The survey is designed to act as a barometer on New Zealand’s international student market providing valuable feedback on students’ satisfaction, experiences, thoughts, and perspectives.
The information gathered will:
- assist education providers to review their services and make provision to better support international students in the future
- support policy development to guide government’s direction, priorities, and funding for international education
- identify areas of further research.
In April 2002, the Department of Labour (DoL) introduced three new temporary work permit policies; designed to provide a direct pathway from skilled temporary worker to permanent resident. The purpose of this research was to describe the trends in the applications since the policies came into effect, the characteristics of accredited employers and the migrants they employ, and the strengths and limitations as experienced by key stakeholders.
This research is an exploratory study to examine the pathways international students take through the New Zealand education system and their subsequent transition to work or permanent residence in New Zealand.
