Students allowed in

Wellington: New Zealand’s door has been opened to overseas students again — but only for 250 postgraduate students who will have to pay for their own quarantine.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins says the students must have had a visa to study in New Zealand at master’s or doctoral level but were unable to get into the country when the border closed in March. — RNZ

The first students are likely to arrive November 2020, the majority arriving in the new year.

They will be subject to the same twoweek quarantine requirements as returning New Zealanders and ‘‘critical workers’’. — RNZ
