The outcome of the injunction hearing in the Auckland High Court today saw two of the defendants undertake to not engage in conduct that contravenes the Education Act.

NZQA Chief Executive Dr Karen Poutasi said NZQA was pleased with the outcome of the injunction hearing.

“The next step in this ongoing investigation is for the large amount of evidence and information collected to be analysed.

“Today’s court proceedings are part of the strong NZQA action taken in response to allegations of cheating and assessment fraud. Where there is evidence of illegal activity under the Education Act, it is likely further legal action will be taken”.

Education New Zealand (ENZ) is pleased to see that action has been taken against Assignment 4U in regard to the alleged cheating services.

ENZ appreciates the efforts everyone in our industry makes to maintain New Zealand’s international reputation as provider of high quality education. The vast majority of education providers in New Zealand deliver great education outcomes for local and international students.

This action signals both here and abroad how seriously New Zealand takes the integrity and credibility of its tertiary education and qualifications.

ENZ will continue to work with its contacts in the Chinese education sector and Chinese education officials to manage New Zealand’s education reputation in relation to this issue. We will continue to keep them informed of the New Zealand Government’s response to this matter.
