Access for foreign students eased
PA Wellington
the Government has decided to ease access for foreign students to New Zealand educational. institutions.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Cooper, said yesterday that South Pacific and A.S.E.A.N. students enrolling for sixth form and seventh form study in State schools would continue to be admitted free within an over-all quota of 375 a year. Free entry would also be allowed, on a quota, for secondary school pupils from Fiji, Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Western Samoa from Forms 3 to 5.
The new policy approved by the Cabinet would give additional opportunities for all countries on a “cost recovery basis,” Mr Cooper said.
That would include entry to primary and secondary schools, teachers’ colleges, technical institutes, and universities.'
“The fees charged will recover operating costs so that these students will not be a charge on the taxpayer,” he said. “Fees will be reviewed annually ”
