    New Zealand To Update Its List Of Overseas Qualifications Exempt From Assessment

    I think this update is a step in the right direction. Recognizing more qualifications from different countries shows that New Zealand values diverse educational backgrounds. However, they should be careful not to overlook other high-quality qualifications from countries not yet on the list.
