Statistics New Zealand is updating information about reenrolment of students after the February 22 Christchurch earthquake on a weekly basis.

As many as 9534 students who were enrolled in the Christchurch city, Selwyn district and Waimakariri district before the earthquake have re-enrolled in other schools around the country. This is 12.5 per cent of total student enrolments for those areas.

The good news is that 2721 students have since returned to their original school, which leaves 6,813 students away from their original education institution.
