These indicators will look at sustainability of export tertiary education and development of NZ’s reputation in this area.

1.  Key indicators

The total number of international students in formal tertiary education peaked in 2004 and declined in 2005. The decrease has been in students from Asia, offset by a small growth in students from Europe and North America.

The Statistics New Zealand Survey of English Language Providers provides a lead indicator for international student supply. Changes in demand are often seen first in this sector. English-language student numbers peaked in 2003 and have declined substantially since then. 2005 saw a small increase in students from Europe, which was not sustained in 2006. There has been a small continuing increase in students from the rest of the world.
