A rise in the population of Filipino students who acquired education in New Zealand has been recorded from 2014 to 2015 and is expected to rise further this year.
This was revealed by the Education New Zealand, a crown entity, which cited that a total of 2,964 Filipino students studied in New Zealand in 2015, a 71% increase from the 1,734 recorded in 2014.
ENZ general manager Peter Bull said that because of the recorded increase, New Zealand considers the Philippines as an emerging key market, an article published by GMA News Online stated.
Bull stressed that New Zealand implemented a new Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students to sustain the growth further noting that this aims to provide better support and care to foreign students.
Bull likewise said the new code does not only set the standards of care that education providers need to cater but the new code also highlights the importance that New Zealand places on international students to acquire a positive study experience.
Furthermore, the code, which will take effect on July 1, seeks to provide students a new dispute resolution scheme for any contract and financial disagreements between students and study providers.
According to Bull, the new code, will enable the international students to include a number of incoming Filipino learners who choose New Zealand as an education destination to be confident that their well-being is of utmost priority.
In 2002, New Zealand was among the first countries in the world to adopt a Code of Practice.
