Chris Whelan: Universities NZ executive director on Chris Hipkins trip to Asia to promote overseas study in NZ

The Education Minister has a message for international students: we're open for business. Chris Hipkins will travel to Asia to encourage people from overseas to study in New Zealand. He'll speak at the largest student expo in Korea to promote New Zealand's tertiary institutions, before making similar calls in Singapore and Indonesia. Preliminary data already shows uptake in enrolments, but Hipkins says New Zealand can do more to help promote the country as a top tertiary destination. Universities NZ executive director Chris Whelan joined Mike Hosking. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
