New Zealand's new policy of studying abroad is "loose outside and tight inside"

Liuxue86.com provides overseas current affairs news for China students: Nanfang Daily reported "New Deal for Studying in New Zealand" on June 8th. Recently, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau announced a series of important changes in the policies of international students' visas, work visas and skilled immigrants, including: the requirements for the learning quality of international students already in New Zealand have improved; Gradually relax the requirements for students who have the intention to study in New Zealand or want to apply for immigration after studying in New Zealand; Willing to accept more highly educated technical talents. These policy changes will be formally implemented on July 25th, 20 1 1. Experts in the industry believe that this change is to continue to strengthen the policy of "relaxing outside and tightening inside" for international students, which is very beneficial to most prospective international students and prospective immigrant families who want to go to New Zealand.

Extend the class hours and relax the work permit.

According to the New Deal, except for graduate diplomas or undergraduate courses with transfer credits, students can get a STUDYTO W ORK visa one year later, and other students must hold diplomas obtained after two years of study.

Wang Lan, deputy director of ANZ Education Center of Kai Tak Education Group, told reporters that one year is not enough for ordinary students to master certain professional knowledge. The New Deal reform allows students to have enough time to study relevant professional courses in depth, or let students really learn something. In addition, there is plenty of time for students to choose a part-time job to earn living expenses after completing the course, so as to combine work and rest. At the same time, it is also beneficial for students to have a deeper understanding of local culture and life.

Wang Lan said that New Zealand's visa requirements for highly educated and skilled talents and the gradual relaxation of the requirements for some students who stay in the local area for further study and work are enough to show that New Zealand still has a relatively large demand for talents, not only to attract more people with high academic qualifications to study in New Zealand, but also to retain some real people of insight, not just in quantity.

The demand for talents in education and medical care has increased.

Wang Lan said that the new policy announced this time will not have much impact on the current study abroad market except for some amendments. New Zealand's immigration policy for studying abroad in the past year has a very obvious trend of introducing talents, and the policy of "relaxing outside and tightening inside" is constantly strengthening. Not only has the regulations been relaxed to attract talents, but also the requirements for students studying abroad have been improved. At the same time, various preferential policies are put forward to retain some real talents.

Chen Yingdan, a consultant for studying in Britain and China in New Oriental, said that there are still a few students applying to study in New Zealand. However, due to the stable exchange rate and relatively low cost, the cost of studying abroad has not increased greatly in the past two years, and the number of students studying in New Zealand has gradually increased in the past two years. It is reported that the students studying in New Zealand are concentrated in middle-class families and highly educated talents with a certain economic foundation. On the other hand, majors are mainly concentrated in popular majors such as business.

Chen Yingdan said that many parents tend to choose traditional majors such as business. In fact, in New Zealand, professional courses such as agricultural technology and animation are second to none in the world. At the same time, New Zealand has a great demand for talents in education and medical care. Students who intend to seek immigration after graduation can enroll in this kind of major.
