• Europe market update for secondary schools

  As the sector rebuilds capability and welcomes international students back to New Zealand, this session will provide valuable information to secondary school staff wanting to refresh their knowledge or learn more about working with education agents and recruiting school students in Europe.

  We are hosting one 1.5-hour Zoom session on Thursday 16 March from 3.30-5.00pm NZT.

  The session will introduce schools to ENZ’s Europe team, provide an update on the market, and have guest speakers on hand to share their experiences of working in Europe.

  In previous years, many students from Germany, France and Italy have travelled to New Zealand on student exchanges, seeking new experiences at New Zealand high schools. These countries are a priority focus for ENZ staff based in Europe.

  In 2019, 1855 German students, 406 Italian students, and 370 French students spent time studying in New Zealand high schools. At least 66% of German international students were enrolled in schools in 2020, making this the largest subsector for Germany students.

• Think New enters India

  India is currently the second largest and fastest growing source of international students to New Zealand. Education New Zealand (ENZ) is looking to build on this positive momentum with a new marketing campaign. 

  While New Zealand is well known in India for cricket, tourism and to some extent movies such as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, there is still work to do to improve awareness of New Zealand as a high quality education destination.

  Kathryn McCarrison, General Manager Marketing and Channel Development, says: “Those who know New Zealand like New Zealand but there is a lack of awareness about us as a high quality international study destination. This campaign aims to help fill this knowledge gap.”

  The campaign challenges prospective students who are already thinking about study abroad options to take the next step and convert their general interest in New Zealand into active consideration.

  Visitors who register their interest in studying in New Zealand on the Education New Zealand (ENZ) campaign website will be contacted by a pool of New Zealand specialist education agents who can provide more information about the courses, the criteria and support with the application process.

  Popular Indian Premier League (IPL) coach of the Chennai Super Kings and former New Zealand cricket captain Stephen Fleming is fronting the awareness raising campaign.  By expressing interest, prospective students will be automatically “in to win” an exclusive dinner date with Stephen Fleming. Fleming’s team is having a great IPL season and he is highly regarded in Indian as among the best captains the Black Caps ever had.

  “The New Zealand tertiary education sector has a huge range of programmes available. As well as being specialists in a number of areas we also offer niche and vocational courses which are less developed in other countries so New Zealand really stands out from the crowd.

  “We want to continue to grow the number of high quality Indian students studying in New Zealand and for them to secure meaningful jobs, particularly in industries experiencing skill shortages such as I.T, Engineering, Agriculture and Forestry and Construction. We hope that this campaign will help us to achieve this goal,” Kathryn says.

  ENZ is working with ten of the top Indian agencies on this campaign. These agencies will amplify the campaign messages through their own networks, reaching many thousands more students.

  The campaign will run from 12 May to the end of June, building on a strong public relations strategy that ENZ has been running in India since October 2013.

• Kiwi educational publishers promote NZ at Frankfurt fair

  Running over five days in early October, the Frankfurt Book Fair saw publishers, agents and authors from all over the world converge to deal in rights and talk books, with many opportunities to forge new publishing relationships. 

  This year, nine publishers from commercial and educational areas of New Zealand publishing shared the collective stand under the PANZ (Publishers Association of New Zealand) banner, with ENZ proudly sponsoring Dame Wendy Pye, Sunshine Publishing; Tracy Strudley, Global Education Systems Ltd; and Nicola Smith, Essential Resources. 

  New Zealand publishers have steadily cemented a firm and respected place at the fair, riding high on the back of being Guest of Honour in 2012. 

  PANZ President and Publisher at Oratia Media, Peter Dowling said the support from Creative New Zealand and Education New Zealand has helped them to promote New Zealand literature and educational publishing internationally.

  “With help from these two agencies, we’ve worked hard to expand New Zealand’s global presence over the last year, adding two new book fairs to our roster alongside Frankfurt — the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in March, and the Guadalajara International Book Fair in November.”

  For many educational publishers, these fairs are key platforms to launch globally. To help educational publishers prepare for these opportunities PANZ, supported by ENZ, will host a free networking lunch and workshop in Auckland focussing on export rights. This will be a valuable opportunity for educational publishers interested in extending their international reach, and is open to non-PANZ Members.

  Register here. 

  If you’re interested in the global opportunities for educational publishing, please connect with PANZ at admin@publishers.org.nz or with ENZ’s Business Development Manager Annabel Robertson at Annabel.Robertson@enz.govt.nz

   

• Boost to long-term education partnerships in China

  The arrangement will enable participating New Zealand universities and ITPs to form long-term partnerships with Chinese institutions in a key subject area to invest in, develop and deliver new joint programmes. 

  The arrangement was signed between the New Zealand Government-to-Government Partnerships Office (G2G), China’s Ministry of Education and the National Center for Schooling Development (CSDP), the only governance organisation that establishes standards and evaluates education systems in more than 1000 higher education institutions in China.

  Specifically, it will allow participating New Zealand tertiary institutions to formally register and participate in China’s International Higher Standard Application-Oriented Institutions Programme.

  ENZ’s Regional Director – China & North Asia, Adele Bryant, said the arrangement is a win-win for New Zealand and China. 

  “New Zealand institutions can participate in the development of China’s higher education system as well as benefit from a new future channel of good quality Chinese students.”

  To date, five New Zealand tertiary institutions including AUT, Otago Polytechnic, Weltec & Whitireia, Wintec and Ara Institute of Canterbury have participated in this arrangement.

  CSDP is also cooperating with education institutions in the USA, United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands and Australia.

  In September, CSDP’s representatives will visit New Zealand to hold a workshop with the participating New Zealand institutions and undertake site visits of their campuses.

  Interested universities or ITPs can contact ENZ’s International Market Manager – China, Ross Fisher, at ross.fisher@enz.govt.nz.  

• Learn more about global edtech opportunities

  Are you interested in making connections or forming partnerships with education publishers, game developers, ICT companies and educationalists?

  Do you want to showcase your edtech tool and learn about how and why teachers and their students are using technology in the classroom?

  If the answer is yes, then register now for the Education Technology Summit on 5-6 July at Massey University’s innovation hub in Albany, Auckland. 

  For those of you from edtech companies outside of Auckland we have 20 heavily discounted tickets to give away. The money you save will get you to Auckland!

  Just tell us how much you think educational exports ($ million) contribute to GDP by 31 May.  The closest answers will get you a ticket to the two day summit for just $100 – a prize valued at $295. Send your answer to adele.bryant@enz.govt.nz.

  Following feedback from previous annual Edtech for Export (et4e) conferences, this year ENZ is supporting the New Zealand Technology Industry Association in bringing educators and edtech businesses together at the same event.

  This year’s more collaborative approach – bringing creators and users together – will provide a platform for the growth and development of sustainable and relevant edtech tools for the domestic and export markets.

  The Education Technology Summit programme offers separate Edtech for Export and Tech and Pedagogy streams, and plenty of opportunity for interaction between the two. 

  The programme includes export capability building sessions as well as the chance to hear from local and international speakers on global edtech trends and tips for exporting.

  Presenters include:

  • Betsy Corcoran, CEO of EdSurge, an award-winning US news and information source on edtech, will speak on “Mind sets and the future of educational technology”. 

  • Dan Milward of Gamefroot, a provider of online game creation software that teaches programming code in a fun and interactive way

  • Graeme Cosslett, CEO of the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER)    

  And, if you’re still wondering whether or not to make the Summit a ‘must attend’ event in your calendar, here’s a success story that had its beginnings in the et4e conference in 2013: 

  Gamefroot and NZCER are a great example of the power of deep collaboration between educational researchers and game makers.  Gamefroot’s Dan Milward and Rachel Bolstad of NZCER worked in the same Wellington building but did not realise they shared a common interest in educational games until they met at et4e 2013.  Since then, they have worked together to develop and launch a unique online game for teachers and policy makers called Curriculum for the Future: the Digital Game. 

  If you have any queries about the Education Technology Summit, contact Business Development Manager, Adele Bryant at adele.bryant@enz.govt.nz.

  Otherwise, see you in Auckland in July!   

• Second round of German academic exchange funding programme launching in April

  ENZ and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) will launch the second round of the German academic exchange funding programme on 5 April after the programme’s successful first round.

  Funding will be available to researchers at higher education institutions in Germany and New Zealand. ENZ will fund early-career academics from New Zealand universities and Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology to travel to Germany, specifically students who are close to completing their PhD and academics who completed their PhD in the last five years.

  With the objective of growing the number of applications in 2023, ENZ has decided to move to a model of providing funding up to NZ$12,500 per year for up to two years, without the need for applicants to show any other sources of funding.

  The German academic exchange programme is the result of the signing of a Programmes for Project-Related Personal Exchange (PPP) arrangement between ENZ and DAAD in November 2021 to strengthen academic relations between New Zealand and Germany and promote complementary research activities.

  ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye, said the programme had done much to grow academic collaboration between New Zealand and Germany through the partnership with DAAD, which is the world’s largest funding organisation for the international exchange of students and researchers.

  “We are pleased with the success of the first round of the programme and are looking forward to seeing more applications for the second round launching in April.

  “As an incentive to encourage more participation, applicants are no longer required to show any other sources of funding,” Stoye said.

  Ahead of the programme’s launch, ENZ has organised an online information session on Tuesday 4 April at 7pm NZT (9 am CEST).

  For more information on New Zealand German academic exchange programme and to apply, please visit this link.

  You can register to take part in the information session on 4 April here.

  If you have any questions, please contact ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye on adina.stoye@enz.govt.nz. 

• ENZ Viet Nam introduces agent-led fairs

  Tam Le, ENZ’s Marketing & Strategic Relations Manager for Viet Nam, said the decision is part of her team’s efforts to capitalise on the growing awareness of New Zealand’s education system in the market.

  “Viet Nam’s academic year starts in late August and ends in late May, creating two key recruitment windows for international education: one in March/ April and one in September/ October. 

  “It is important to promote New Zealand in these months, and while ENZ previously led the fairs in the March recruiting season, we would like to leverage the resources from one of our top local education agents for the September season.”

  Together with Immigration New Zealand, ENZ’s Viet Nam team identified a number of potential education agents and conducted a “pitching process” to select the most competitive proposal.

  The chosen education agent, L&V Education Consultancy, will work directly with the education providers for the events in September, in consultation with ENZ where required.

  To register for these events, please visit ENZ’s events page. 

  New Zealand’s education on Vietnamese national television

  

  A documentary called New Zealand: The road to knowledge, recently played on VTV4, one of Viet Nam’s national TV stations.

  Tam said it is great to see New Zealand’s education offering introduced to Vietnamese audiences – especially on a national channel.

  The documentary highlights the requirements needed to apply for New Zealand institutions and provides key information about life in New Zealand such as accommodation options, public transport and extra-curricular activities.

  It also includes interviews with the New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam, university representatives, alumni and current students.
