School Education in New Zealand - Industry Market Research Report

School's in: Government support and rising student enrolment numbers have boosted revenue

Formal education in New Zealand is compulsory and free for most children aged 6 to 16. The education system comprises three main types of primary and secondary schools: state schools that are owned and funded by the government, state integrated schools (schools with a special character that have been integrated into the public school system), and private or independent schools. Approximately 85% of New Zealand children attend state schools and just over 11% attend state integrated schools. State integrated schools include Catholic, Steiner and Montessori schools. These schools are also funded by the government, but also charge compulsory attendance dues. The lion's share of funding for private schools comes from school fees. Even so, private schools do receive some government funding. About 4% of all enrolled children go to a private school in New Zealand, which is a slim minority.
