Reprieve may be in sight for Indian students desperate to receive New Zealand qualifications

The collapse of two academic institutions has seen a group of students possibly having to leave New Zealand without the diplomas they’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on.

A reprieve may be in sight for a group of Indian students desperate to receive their qualifications.

Twenty to 30 students are set to protest this afternoon outside Immigration NZ’s Auckland headquarters after they were caught up in the closure of one institution and the clamping down of another.

Most of them had nearly completed their level six diploma in business at Tasman Academies when they were told the academy had been issued a compliance notice and their qualifications would be held back.

The NZ Qualifications Authority told 1 NEWS the students will have one-on-one meetings with the academy tomorrow morning to discuss what they need to do to complete their studies and receive their diplomas.

The Immigration Minister says there are temporary work visas the students can apply for while they work through the issues.
