Education New Zealand's confirmed new financial targets for our international student market.

Its strategy aims to build the sector's economic contribution by $4.4 billion over the next three years.

International students here are at 86% of pre-pandemic numbers.

Waikato University Deputy Vice Chancellor Alistair Jones told Mike Hosking there are some details to be worked out, but he's glad there's an ambitious target.

He says it's good to see sector engagement but acknowledges there's still a long-way to go in recovery, which will span years.
