My son will be 16 ( haven't finished his GCSE's here). As we have PR he can go to school to complete years 12 &13 and so gaining the NCEA levels 2&3 free or he could go to Uni but would have to complete a 6 month foundation course first. Obviously Uni would work like it does here with fees to be paid. My understanding is that with PR he would be able to get student loans to cover fees, I think. As for your daughter she would have the option of going to Uni and completing a foundation course or completing year 13.
