New Zealand is setting ambitious goals to grow its international education sector, aiming to double the value of foreign student enrollments by 2034. The plan focuses on attracting more overseas students while ensuring quality education and economic benefits.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about filling classrooms—it’s a strategic move to boost New Zealand’s economy and global reputation. More international students mean more cultural exchange, higher revenue for universities, and stronger ties with other countries. But it also raises questions: Can the country scale up without compromising quality? Will housing and infrastructure keep pace? Either way, it’s a big bet on education as a key export.
