Register now for the Climate Action Network for International Educators (CANIE) Summit 2020
It will take place entirely online on 21 May, with two separate sessions to suit attendees in different time zones. There will also be a discussion forum open for people to share their ideas.
The programme’s sessions will feature presentations by international education practitioners from across the globe on topics like digital recruitment, flight guilt, and building sustainability into your institution’s business strategy.
Co-founders of CANIE and summit organisers, Pii-Tuulia Nikula and Ailsa Lamont, say they were pleased to receive many high-quality presentation proposals on many of the sector’s hot sustainability issues.
“A topic like digital recruitment is really big,” Nikula says. “It’s something a lot of people have been exploring, but now with all the restrictions due to COVID-19, it’s become a lot more important.”
Read the full list of speakers.
Nikula and Lamont say the CANIE organisation came together organically. Their membership is made up of practitioners who work in different areas of international education, but who all see the need for the sector to reduce its impact on the planet.
“We hope this event sparks a larger conversation around sustainability,” Lamont says.
CANIE was first launched at the 2019 New Zealand International Education Conference. Membership of CANIE is free of charge, as is registration for this year’s summit.

Around the world in five
CANADA
Canadian language programmes register modest growth in 2016
The number of students enrolled in Canadian language programmes increased by 1 percent in 2016 even as student weeks fell by 5 percent, according to a Languages Canada survey. The survey report noted that language students looking to work during study were more likely to choose Australia or New Zealand, where work and study is facilitated, as compared to Canada, where off-campus work during language study is prohibited.
UK
UK’s net migration position under pressure
Calls for a rethink on net migration targets and the inclusion of international students within that target were mounting on all sides of the UK political spectrum on August 24. As the latest news that 97 percent of international students leave after their studies filtered through, MPs and business leaders stepped up calls for Theresa May to protect the UK’s international education industry and rethink the inclusion of international students in net migration figures.

Hotcourses embeds TNE into course searches
Study search platform Hotcourses has expanded its offering to include a transnational education course search. Over 3,000 programmes from 432 education providers are offered in the new expansion, allowing students to search for courses in their own country, or overseas, with a degree awarded from a foreign university.
US
US reduces visa operations in Russia
The United States has suspended all visa operations in Russia for one week and from September will only provide visa services from the US Embassy in Moscow and not at other consulates, a move likely to cause disruption for Russian agents and students. The move follows the Russian government's recent order to cut the American diplomatic mission staff by 755 people.

Hong Kong’s ESF raises fees as government funding phased out
Year 2 pupils are the latest year group to face an additional fee payment of US$2,200 this year at English Schools Foundation (ESF), one of Hong Kong’s largest providers of English-medium education, as a result of the removal of a large government grant. ESF, which operates 22 schools across Hong Kong, teaching 17,600 students, is in its second consecutive year of phasing out the grant money it received from the government, which totalled US$36.5 million annually.

The programme, which starts on Tuesday 15 October, is a new initiative jointly organised by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) and Schools International Education Business Association (SIEBA). Hosted by ENZ’s Mary Camp and SIEBA’s Melissa Heyrick, the series of webinars is open to all New Zealand primary schools, from those seeking Code Signatory status, to those starting out, and those looking for support to grow.

Participants will meet experts, be guided through services and resources, get connected to others, and get advice to support success.
The webinars will be interactive and engaging, and content will be shaped as the series progresses depending on the needs and requests shared during the sessions. Mary and Melissa are both former teachers and will provide open, jargon-free sessions that build the confidence of the primary school sector to grow international business that benefits both schools and their communities. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
Following the first session on Tuesday October 15 at 3.30pm there will be two further sessions in 2024 to help schools prepare for Term One 2025. There will be further webinars held throughout 2025.

Greg says Connect is a great opportunity for providers to hear about current developments in international education and to learn about ENZ’s strategic direction, developments and how to utilise these in their own organisations.
“Most importantly, it’s a chance for providers to tell us what’s important to them and how we can better support their future growth.
“We’re aiming to have the seminars be as interactive as possible, using the collective insights and experience of everyone in the room to address challenges and consider how best to make the most of developments and opportunities.”
