Education in New Zealand is based on a system that was primarily modeled after British practices and approaches. This was largely inevitable, as the island nation was under British sovereignty from 1840. Although many other Western countries would trade and interact with New Zealand, the nation was basically an extension of the British Empire during its most formative period, and this was clearly reflected in the school systems. New Zealand is second to none for climatic and scenic diversity, as well as rugged and mythical appeal.

New Zealanders are famous for their warm hospitality to overseas visitors. Perhaps this is because they come from many ethnic backgrounds themselves–New Zealand culture is a mix of European, Maori, and Pacific Island heritages. The dominant cultural groups are the Pakeha (European) and Maori, while smaller groups include Yugoslavian Dalmatians, Polynesians, Indians, and Chinese.
