The Government of New Zealand has announced that, as of June 2026, international education export revenues had reached 49.8 billion New York dollars More than $4.4 billion before the outbreak in 2019. According to official data, income increased from 3.5 billion in June 2024 to 4.3 billion in 2025, further increasing to close to $5 billion.
What does that figure mean?
Export earnings reflect the financial contribution of international students to school fees, accommodation, living and related services, which varies from student to student, and cannot be used to extrapolate individual school admission rates. The Government regards international education as an important export industry and continues to be promoted in key markets by Education New Zealand.

Industrial recovery means that schools and local services continue to receive international students, but increased demand may also affect the cost of living and accommodation in hot cities.

The value of production published by the Government is not a school ' s commitment to employment or to the outcome of migration.
