The Tai Tokerau Northland International Education Strategy
Developed by Northland Inc in conjunction with Education New Zealand.
Sector Overview
Students from around the globe come to study here in Taitokerau Northland.
Our climate is enviable with warm, lingering summers and milder winters, meaning students can enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle year-round. With schools located in the main city of Whangārei, near the coast, in the picturesque town of Kerikeri or in rural heartland, those who come to Northland to study have a range of stunning locations to settle in.
While Taitokerau Northland is well positioned to achieve strong growth in this sector, there are also significant challenges. As a whole, Aotearoa New Zealand’s international education sector is exposed to a wide range of external influences, including global issues such as politics, war and currency fluctuations, and government level issues such as changes in legislation.
The global Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the number of international students studying in Taitokerau Northland. However, international students are now returning to study in schools throughout the region.
