The Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021 Caring for International Students - The Code of Practice
When you come to New Zealand to study as an international student, education providers have a responsibility to ensure that you are well informed, safe and properly cared for.
In New Zealand we call this ‘pastoral care’. You are entitled to be treated well, at all ages and at all levels of education.
