There's an expectation it will take two years to get the number of international students in vocational education back to pre-Covid levels.
There were about 75-thousand international students in New Zealand last year - 40% less than a peak in 2016.
Vocational Minister Penny Simmonds says told Ryan Bridge centralising Polytech's into Te Pukenga is a big factor, as it caused a financial mess.
