Education in New Zealand is free for New Zealand citizens and residents at state schools for students between the ages of 5 and 19. This means there are no tuition fees to attend these schools. However, parents and students may need to pay for school uniforms, stationery supplies, and extra activities.
While primary and secondary education are free for domestic students, tertiary education, which includes universities and other post-secondary institutions, is not free. Students will need to pay tuition fees for these programs.
