Last chance to register for NZIEC 2016
It's your last chance to register for the New Zealand International Education Conference (NZIEC) and we've made some changes to conference arrangements. Find out more here.
This year's conference celebrates 25 years of the NZIEC being held and we're planning a special event for over 500 delegates at the ANZ Viaduct Events Centre, Auckland.
Payment deadlines
The final date to register and pay by invoice is Monday 25 July 2016. After that, payment can only be made by credit card. Please note that payment must be received prior to attending NZIEC 2016, so please ensure your organisation has paid your invoice.
Breakout sessions
With places for the conference selling like hotcakes, a number of breakout sessions are already at capacity.

These sessions will now feature a slightly longer presentation on the specific market (no more than 20 minutes) before opening the floor to questions from the audience.

Stay tuned for the launch of our conference app in August. The app will enable you to follow your schedule, connect with other delegates, and follow our social media conversation.

Applications open for group Prime Minister’s Scholarships to study in Asia and Latin America
Applications from groups, institutions or organisation who can meet the objectives of the scholarship are welcome. Last year, successful group applicants included marae, whānau Māori trusts, tertiary providers, non-profit organisations and more. Applications close on 23 April 2023.
ENZ’s General Manager Sector Services, Sahinde Pala, says the scholarships are a wonderful opportunity for New Zealanders to gain transformational education experiences in Asia and Latin America.
“We love how the scholarships allow New Zealanders from a wide range of backgrounds to continue to add a global aspect to their learning, and make meaningful, often lifelong connections with people from other countries and cultures.
Applicants are invited to think differently about what overseas learning opportunities could enrich the lives of learners or members of their community, and how they contribute to New Zealand more broadly.”
The Prime Minister’s Scholarships are funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao to support New Zealanders on learning experiences in Asia and Latin America.
The Scholarships’ group programme offers a flexible way to organise learning experiences in Asia and Latin America. Groups apply for a certain number of people, minimum of three, and once a programme is awarded, the organiser will run their own process to select the members who make up the group based on guidelines provided by ENZ.
Scholarship awardees from the 2022 group round have engaged in a diverse range of programmes, including customised indigenous-to-indigenous cultural exchange, advancing their language skills, learning new fashion design skills, and more.
Participants in a group programme simply need to meet the same eligibility requirements as individuals, including being a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident at least 18 years old at the date of applying.
Since its launch in 2013, the Prime Minister’s Scholarship programme has seen nearly 3,000 recipients, which helps New Zealand continue to engage with key partners in Asia and Latin America.
Applications for student groups from wānanga, universities, Te Pūkenga, private training establishments, iwi and other organisations will be open from 8 March – 23 April 2022, with successful applicants advised in early June.
More information is available on ENZ's dedicated scholarship website here.
A list of successful applicants from the 2022 group scholarship round is available here.

Advertising opportunity in Japan
The publication is the only of its kind supported by the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo and Education New Zealand. It distributes 20,000 copies to Japanese schools, universities and education organisations as well as education fairs and seminars.
“After the Rugby World Cup in 2019, New Zealand has had an increased presence and visibility in Japan. This is a great opportunity to leverage off the New Zealand country profile to promote your institution and region,” says ENZ Senior Market Development Manager – Japan, Misa Kitaoka.
“This guidebook is a great opportunity for regional bodies and individual providers to promote their offering. Furthermore, because destination marketing is a key part of education promotion in Japan, Kbunsha is offering a separate advertising rate for regional groups.”
To advertise, bookings must be made by 13 March 2020.
For further details on the guidebook and pricing for regional groups, download the proposal here.

Indonesian students meet the KIWI Challenge
Now in its third year, this annual student entrepreneurship competition asks students from schools across Java and Kalimantan to provide innovative ideas or solutions, based on a given theme. Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) organises the competition in collaboration with Kopi Tuli (Deaf Cafe), a deaf community in Jakarta.
This year, ENZ has partnered with Massey University, which chose the theme of sustainable tourism.
The school groups will submit videos to a judging panel made up of Massey University academics and ENZ representatives. Submissions will be reviewed by the panel and finalists selected. The students will then be supported through a number of workshops and mentoring by the Massey University academics.
This mentoring will prepare finalists for their final pitch in the following weeks. After the final pitches are reviewed, the top three groups will be awarded vouchers worth IDR 2,000,000 – 10,000,000 and offered the opportunity to take part in virtual internships provided by Massey University.
Registrations and initial video submissions for KIWI Challenge 2022 have now closed and are currently being assessed by the panel. We received 36 videos from 18 schools across Indonesia – and they are competing to secure a place in the Top 5 finalists.
To date, ENZ has engaged more than 1,200 Indonesian students through the programme and each year has showcased a New Zealand university and a particular theme. Previous university partners were Lincoln University (Agribusiness) and the University of Canterbury (Education Technology).
“Now entering its third year, KIWI Challenge has grown into a unique platform for New Zealand and our universities to remain connected to Indonesian students in a meaningful way. Most importantly, we have worked together to identify themes that resonate with young Indonesians and then matched these with the expertise our New Zealand universities have to offer,” Chris Hipkins said.
“This year has seen another shift in topic, with student groups focusing on Sustainable Business and Entrepreneurship under the expert guidance of academics from Massey University. With the current challenges facing societies across the globe as a result of climate change, I’m looking forward to the ideas Indonesian students will develop this year in such a meaningful area.”
Professor Jan Thomas, Vice-Chancellor of Massey University, was also present at the launch event in Jakarta.
“We are honoured to be part of the 2022 KIWI Challenge, and to have the opportunity to inspire Indonesian students to tackle an issue of utmost importance to their homeland - tourism. Massey has many links to Indonesia, particularly through our research partnerships with the University of Mataram. It’s exciting to again be able to showcase our world-class teaching and research on foreign shores. Best of luck to all of the teams taking part in the KIWI Challenge this year.”
This year’s KIWI Challenge looks to build on the success of previous years and inspire youth to be engaged in entrepreneurial activities around important social issues, connect students from Indonesia with New Zealand academics and strengthen ties between Indonesia and New Zealand.
