Education

Is it still free for children to attend a state school in New Zealand?

Education continues to be nominally free at all state schools in New Zealand.

While the Government meets almost all state schooling costs, parents are expected to pay some fees. These include the cost of schoolbooks, stationery, materials for art/trade classes, uniforms and school trips. Fees vary widely depending on individual school requirements but are usually in the order of several hundred dollars.
