 WELLINGTON - Saudi Arabia will send about 350 students to study at New ZealandÂ’s eight universities this year, Tertiary Education Minister Michael Cullen said on Thursday. The undergraduate and postgraduate students would come under Saudi ArabiaÂ’s King Abdullah expanded scholarships programme for Asia and Oceania.
| To be followed by a dedicated mosque, Wahabbite literature and a spittle-spraying iman. |
They will join more than 500 students from Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and Oman, who are currently enrolled in other New Zealand educational institutions.
Cullen said the expansion of King AbdullahÂ’s scholarships programme would not only boost New Zealand earnings from export education, but also strengthen cooperation and understanding between New Zealand and the countries of the Gulf region.
| And it'll teach you how to be proper dhimmis. |
