From Morning Report, 8:28 am on 15 May 2023

Foreign students are returning to New Zealand at a faster rate than before the pandemic.

In the past eight months, Immigration New Zealand has approved more than 32,000 study visas for first-time international students.

Universities appear to be doing well but there are indications schools and polytechnics are not.

RNZ education correspondent John Gerritsen has been looking at the numbers and spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.
