High marks for New Zealand from international students. 

Education NZ's latest Experience Survey finds 90% rate their overall experience positively, up from 87% last year, and the highest since the survey began in 2019. 

At least 93% rate their teachers and tutors as supportive and respectful. 

Chief Executive David Downs told Mike Hosking our international education is probably the best of any country in the world in terms of what we can offer students. 

He says they like the education definitely but they also like living in New Zealand, and really importantly, they feel a sense of safety and welcome here.
