Educational talent cultivation, cross credits, student exchanges and academic visits are part of a new agreement between the country's biggest institution of higher learning and one of China's biggest education agencies.
The Institute of Skills and Technology, or Te Pūkenga, says its work in vocational education will benefit and expand, thanks to its new arrangement with China's Centre for International People-to-People Exchange, which works in the area of academic exchange and study abroad.
Te Pūkenga has since 2020 run the country's 16 Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics.
Like all institutions of higher learning in New Zealand, it is still dealing with the hangover effect on export education as a result of the Covid years.
Te Pūkenga deputy chief executive Andrew McSweeney spoke to Corin Dann.
