Speech by Minister for Tertiary Education, Hon. Dr Michael Cullen

The Education Counsellors are funded by the New Zealand Government (note: they are not funded by the Education Export Levy) to work on advancing New Zealand’s education relationships in selected countries of strategic significance.  The Counsellors have a close working relationship with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and Education New Zealand.  This workshop is an ideal opportunity for institutions to hear first hand about the work of the Counsellors and how they are supporting the work of educational institutions and other agencies.
