there was something in the news about a 'caregiver' who came with a child (not her own) and the child was enrolled in some school (as a fee paying student).
the auckland university of technology university (not to be confused with the auckland institute of technology polytec - as it was formerly known as) enrolled her when she was under the age of 16.
in a finance degree.
apparently the usa etc wouldn't enrol her because they said she was too young.
i do believe that our education act says that universities are to set a minimum age. or maybe, that they may. in which case, if they do they are required to follow that regulation.
a couple of the universities say specifically 16 is the minimum age (also the age of sexual consent -- which means nobody can be accused of pedophilia at universities if the university sets the minimum age of enrolment at 16 so that explains why it is thereby set).
but either aut doesn't have 16 as the minimum age of enrolment or else they don't think they should follow the statutory laws i mean nobody else does...
so the kid is enrolled and apparently they graduate her, even. but there is no job for her in new zealand. because she's too young. apparently. so she'd deported with her degree...
and so, who knows, what became of her and her 'guardian' now...
i mean... i don't know if she got her transcript from auckland university of technology university on paper or if she is relying on the university saying that they did in fact graduate her from a finance degree...
but i can't imagine that her qualification is worth anything or that it means anything overseas...
i mean.. they could ask to see her work, i suppose. if she was allowed to do indepenent research. likely she wasn't. she would have been failed if she showed merit in that way...
i don't know if her 'caregiver' was someone who chose to 'inveset' in talent-scouting smart kids or somethign. if the idea was that the kid would get a job in finance or start a business or something and get the money back to the investor. i don't know...
i do know that nz clearly acted in bad faith enrolling her in the finance degree. having her investor believe that that was a credible or good investment or whatever.
or, who knows, maybe the kid was just fun fun fun for the vice chancellor to have at his private parties. maybe she brought all her friends along,too.
this is how we do business with vietnam. apparently. the new zealand government. the public universities of new zealand.
