  • New Zealand education fair caps off busy season of engagement in Thailand

    The New Zealand Education Fair 2025 at Samyan Mitrtown Hall attracted over 2,500 registrations and welcomed 1,763 visitors –   a 20% increase from the previous year.

    The event gave Thai prospective students and their families a chance to meet with providers from across New Zealand’s secondary, tertiary, and English language sectors. Attendees also heard directly from New Zealand Ambassador to Thailand, Jonathan Kings, along with three accomplished Thai alumni of New Zealand institutions.

    A popular initiative at the fair was the “Apply Now, Fly Free” campaign, where 39 New Zealand institutions collectively offered an air fare scholarship to students applying at the fair. A wide range of scholarships and study opportunities were also showcased. 

    Further activity in Chonburi, Bangkok, Chachoengsao and Chiang Mai 

    To build on the momentum of the fair, ENZ organised a roadshow to more than 15 schools across Chonburi, Bangkok, Chachoengsao, and Chiang Mai, engaging directly with students, parents, and school counsellors. 

    The agent seminar, held alongside the fair, brought together more than 100 education agents who received a market update from ENZ and other New Zealand government agencies on New Zealand’s education policies and programmes and networked with participating New Zealand providers. 

    Beyond Bangkok, New Zealand institutions extended their reach through agent-led mini fairs in Chiang Mai and Chonburi on 31 August, hosted by education agencies A&T New Zealand Centre and Infogroup Education, respectively. These events helped connect Thai regional audiences with New Zealand education opportunities. 

    Strategic partnerships between New Zealand and Thailand were also strengthened during the fair week, with a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Assumption College and seven New Zealand secondary schools. 

    ENZ Programme Manager for Thailand, Jaruwan Pongjaruwat, said the energy and enthusiasm from prospective students and their parents across the events was heartening.  

    “This year’s fair and roadshow was a powerful demonstration of the growing interest in New Zealand education among Thai students and their families,” she said. 

    “We’re proud to work alongside our New Zealand provider partners and Thai agents to create meaningful pathways for students. These events are not just about recruitment — they’re about building long-term relationships and trust,” Jaruwan added. 

    Post-fair engagements continued in Chiang Mai, where ENZ held sessions with school counsellors and directors to explore collaboration opportunities. A dedicated agent function in early September further reinforced the important role that Thai education agents play in supporting student recruitment. 

    ENZ then joined a school roadshow in Udon Thani and Khon Kaen, promoting New Zealand education alongside a school cluster from Auckland and Nelson. The team visited three schools, engaging over 400 students with presentations on New Zealand’s secondary education system, and hosted a seminar in Khon Kaen for prospective students and their families.

    ENZ has partnered with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (Seoul MOE) to run digital classroom exchanges since 2021 with ENZ education technology partner Learn English Live (LEL) .
