<p>&#8220;New Zealand has a world-class education system and I have a lot to share with my international counterparts.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s also a lot we could learn from other countries so I will be focussing on what we can tailor to New Zealand to improve our education system and further lift student achievement.&#8221;</p>
