Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: There are 5,000 places for students to come to New Zealand right now, and from 31 July, all international students who meet the entry criteria can enrol to study here. It's time to show the world that New Zealand is open for education and we welcome students back. The criteria for international student visas has been adjusted to help to ensure that these students are getting value for their money and that those who are staying on in New Zealand are helping us to fill skill gaps and are contributing to the New Zealand economy. The Government's also confirmed that international fee-paying students under year 9 will be able to continue to enrol at New Zealand schools.
