German Agents Visit New Zealand
Seven education agents from Germany are visiting New Zealand for ten days in March/April as guests of Education New
Zealand. During their time here they will be visiting educational institutions in both the North and South Islands.
This visit will allow the participating institutions to form a close working relationship with the agents, and allow the
agents to see first hand the quality of education and pastoral care that their clients can expect if they choose to come
to New Zealand for their education.
Germany is a significant market for New Zealand educators. Interest in the visit by German agents has been so high that
seven agents have been invited, and they will travel in two independent groups to maximise coverage. During 2002, 1491
German students came to New Zealand, and the industry has put considerable effort into developing the German market as
part of a broader diversification strategy.
This visit is part of a comprehensive series by agents from many of New Zealand’s key education markets during 2003.
These visits are all part of the joint Education New Zealand/Trade New Zealand ‘Five Steps Forward’ strategy that
promotes New Zealand globally as an education destination.
