The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), supported by Education New Zealand, has signed Education Cooperation Arrangements with two Korean education agencies as part of the Government's efforts to progress the recognition of New Zealand senior secondary qualifications in Korea.

This is an important step in the Government’s on-going engagement with Korean education authorities to increase the acceptance of New Zealand senior secondary qualifications, and as a result, raise the awareness and desirability of New Zealand education for Korean international students.

The two Korean agencies, the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation and the National Institute for Lifelong Education , are key organisations responsible for developing Korea’s national secondary curriculum and assessment  and promotion of lifelong education. 

What's in it for me?
