  • From the CE: Memorable trip highlights value of international education

    This was the first mission led by the Prime Minister since our borders closed in 2020, and it combined education, tourism, New Zealand businesses and government agencies. It sent a clear message that New Zealand is open for business and ready to reconnect with the world.

    A couple of excellent things happened in Singapore from an education perspective, the first at Gardens by the Bay, which is a nature park of more than 100 hectares, visited by around 14 million people every year.  

    At a ceremony to mark the unveiling of a bespoke Māori carving, the Chief Executive of Gardens by the Bay, Felix Loh, spoke about his education experience in New Zealand 30 years ago. He said that studying for a Bachelor of Horticulture at Massey University had a huge impact on his life and career, not only because of what he learnt from his studies, but also because of the care and support he received here. It was a great endorsement of the best that an education in New Zealand can offer and highlighted to everyone who heard him that international education brings long-term value.

    We had a similar experience the following day, at the signing of an MOU between the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and FoodBowl, a New Zealand food innovation network based in Auckland. The senior signing official for SIT was their President, Professor Chua Kee Chaing, who was a student in New Zealand 40 years ago. Again, we saw the warmth and long-term relationships that are generated by international education.  

    The Japan part of our trip featured several events with a specific focus on international education, including signing an agreement with Japan Women’s University, relaunching Game on English for female rugby players, and an event at the Cookie Time store in Tokyo with an opportunity to meet previous participants in the working holiday scheme, including former students. You can read more about these events in a separate article in this issue of E-News. 

    It was great to meet people who feel such a strong connection to New Zealand, even after many years have passed. We often refer to the social, cultural and economic benefits of international education – what we experienced on this trip brought those words to life and marked another significant step on our path to rebuild New Zealand’s international education sector.

  • Cohort 4 students arriving

    Andy Walker, Business Development Manager at Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao, says the nomination process for Cohort 4 has now closed. 

    “We recently made a final reallocation of unused places to providers from across the sector, who had demonstrated they have travel-ready students.  

    “Students whose nominations have been confirmed are encouraged to submit their Request for Travel application to Immigration New Zealand as soon as possible. Immigration New Zealand have advised that as at 21 June, 4,709 RFTs had been approved and 1,862 student visa applications granted. 

    “We’ve worked very closely with the Ministry of Education and collaborated with Immigration New Zealand throughout this process. We have particularly valued the partnership with education providers across the sector to successfully implement the cohort,” Andy says. 

    “I’m very pleased that we’ve been able to bring back these international students sooner than would otherwise have been possible. International students bring a wealth of social, cultural and economic benefits, and we’re all looking forward to welcoming them back to New Zealand.”

  • ENZ wins gold at India’s Kaleido Awards

    The annual Kaleido Awards showcase excellence in communciations and public relations, and attracted 500 entries this year.  

    ENZ’s win was for the campaign, “Unlock Potential for the New You”, developed as a way of responding to the travel restrictions caused by COVID-19, and the need to maintain a pipeline of students interested in higher study with New Zealand.  

    The campaign focused on bridging the learning gap for all our local stakeholders – students, partners, industry experts, teachers, and agents. A series of events was organised, including masterclasses for students, a media training session for education agents, and a Women of the Future summit to celebrate International Women’s Day. The idea was to showcase the varied ‘newer’ learning prospects available in New Zealand.  

    These learning opportunities were supported by content across a range of social media channels. We also engaged with prominent journalists and provided news stories. The  campaign saw a 50% increase in student applications for different courses at New Zealand universities, along with a 75% increase in inquiries about study with New Zealand.

  • From the CE: Putting NZ back on the map in 2022-23

    With relatively low numbers of international students currently in New Zealand, the primary focus for Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) over the 2022-23 year will be on rebuilding the sector. The rebuild will have an emphasis on quality and long-term sustainability. We will be working closely with our key sector partners here and around the world to put New Zealand back on the map.  

    This focus is reflected in the draft refresh of the New Zealand International Education Strategy 2022-30, in our recently published Statement of Intent 2022-26 and Statement of Performance Expectations 2022-23, and in our internal business planning for the year ahead.  

    The high impact global marketing campaign, I AM NEW, launched at NAFSA in late May, provides a strong starting point for the rebuild. As well as raising New Zealand’s profile by attracting significant international media coverage, the campaign has so far reached over 115 million users. This is a unified, overarching promotion on behalf of New Zealand’s international education providers – an essential approach for us to be heard in this extremely competitive sector. We have focussed the promotion on ten partner countries: Brazil, China, Colombia, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, United States, and Viet Nam. The current phase of the campaign includes highlighting individual student stories.  

    Travel to partner countries to support the work of locally based ENZ staff and our NZ Inc agency partners is also an important part of promoting New Zealand’s education. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s visit to Singapore and Japan in April, and Education Minister Chris Hipkins’ travel to the United States, Brazil and Chile in May-June have delivered the clear message that New Zealand is open for business, raised awareness of our quality education offering, and progressed our relationships in these countries. You can read more detailed reports about the trip to North and South America in this month’s E-News, and we’re currently planning our forward schedule of travel to other key partner countries.  

    After discussions with education providers, we have finalised the programme of in-market events where New Zealand will be represented through until the end of 2022, and this is now available on our website here.  

    The reopening of New Zealand’s borders has also enabled the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia and Latin America to restart this year, so New Zealanders have the opportunity to learn from international experiences and develop their global citizenship competencies and networks. Decisions were recently announced on the first round of group applications, while applications for individual scholarships are open until 31 August 2022.  

    This month we also formalised a new partnership between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and ENZ that will see ENZ take over operational management of the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme from November 2022. This is an excellent example of ‘NZ Inc.’ cooperation that plays to each agency’s strengths. You can read more about the partnership in this issue of E-News.

  • Australian fair offers global gateway for Kiwi Edtech

    Although Australia is not a traditional student attraction market for New Zealand, its proximity to us as well as its size, recent digital education reforms in the wake of COVID 19, and its links to the rest of the world, create opportunities for our education technology products and services community.

    This was the first time ENZ participated with edtech companies as a group in this two-day conference and expo. With more than 11,000 attendees, 250 speakers, 250 exhibitors and 10 sub conferences (including one on edtech innovation,) EduTECH 2022 is the most comprehensive cross-sector event for education in the southern hemisphere. It brings together ‘educators and solution providers to exchange and explore ideas, techniques, and technology, with the aim of improving teaching, training and learning and raising the education standards in Australia and the world.’

    ENZ worked closely with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) to maximise the overall impact for New Zealand Inc from the event, with both organisations supporting edtech companies to take part.

    Six of NZTE’s focussed edtech customers (Orah, iUgo, Hero, Banqer, StepWeb and EdPotential) were hosted in a NZTE Pavilion at EduTECH. ENZ also supported seven edtech companies keen to explore opportunities in Australia: Learn English Live, Chasing Time English, Language Fuel,  ByteEd, Kai's Education,  Pacific Kids' Learning  and TTRO. Two other New Zealand companies, Education Perfect and MyMahi, also participated independently.

    In the spirit of collaboration, ENZ hosted an event at the NZTE Pavilion that enabled all 15 companies to connect with a number of Australian education providers as well as with NZTE, to share ideas and insights about edtech opportunities for New Zealand in Australia.  

    ENZ’s delegation also took part in the local Australian Education Technology Association’s ‘Pasta with Peers’ informal dinner, an opportunity to connect with over 200 Australian edtech founders and CEOs.

    “I found the conference really valuable - we actually picked up a series of Indigenous schools to connect in with our Indigenous programme for next year so that was great,” says Will Clarke, Learn English Live co-founder and director.

    “EduTech Australia is where it’s happening this week! Lots of information to absorb and great insights on all things edtech! It’s been awesome meeting and spending time with like-minded people who are working hard to build their businesses and brand outside of NZ. With the support of ENZ and the introduction to the NZTE team here, the future looks bright for Pacific Kids Learning,” says Evo Leota-Tupau, founder of Pacific Kids Learning.

    Aotearoa’s edtech community is increasingly being recognized for the valuable contribution it makes to international education around the world, says Alana Pellow, Business Development Manager at ENZ.

    “For example, it was great to see two edtech companies being included in the Prime Minister’s recent trade mission to Australia, while several edtech exporters featured in Minister Hipkins’ recent international education engagements in the Americas.”

    Following ENZ’s successful participation in EduTECH2022, Ms Pellow is keen to explore further opportunities to bring the collective energy and momentum of the edtech sector together, to support its contribution to international education and the outcomes for learners.

    • Aotearoa EdTech Excellence white paper 2021, developed by EdTechNZ in partnership with ENZ, says that more than 90% of New Zealand edtech businesses export or have ambition to export, with the main markets being the United States (26%) and Australia (24%).

    • Australia Perception Research 2022 | New Zealand Story Group (nzstory.govt.nz), a webinar by NZStory, suggests Australia is one of the most accessible international markets for New Zealand businesses to enter, and highlights Australia’s growing admiration for the values it perceives New Zealand represents – particularly our leadership and indigenous journey. Our te ao Māori values of manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga resonate deeply with both Australian consumers and businesses.

  • Whakatipu Scholarships for indigenous students in Malaysia

    The Whakatipu Scholarships, funded by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) and UM, aim to empower talented young indigenous students at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) and encourage knowledge sharing. As part of their scholarship, the three students will have free access to te reo Māori courses via one of our online learning platforms, FutureLearn.

    Two of the recipients, Diana Bah Said and Norazah Din, are of Semai ethnicity and are enrolled in East Asian Studies. The third student, Scholastica Philip, is of Kadazan descent and is  enrolled in Environmental Studies.

    Deputy High Commissioner of New Zealand to Malaysia Sharmila Bernau said the Whakatipu Scholarship was established to recognise the indigenous community, and support diversity and inclusion.

    “‘Whakatipu’ in the Māori language means to stimulate or nurture growth. It stems from the Māori word ‘tipu’ which means shoot or new growth, like that from a seed.

    “Thus, the scholarship symbolises nourishing its recipients, allowing them to become strong and confident through learning and exchange,” she said at the award ceremony.

    FASS dean Prof Datuk Dr Danny Wong Tze Ken said that the scholarship would support the students during their undergraduate degrees while preparing them for lifelong learning.

    “It is a thoughtfully structured scholarship, where all of these carefully considered components of the programme will provide structures and networks to nurture, encourage and assist them while they complete their undergraduate degrees, develop life skills, cultivate career ambitions and embark on a lifetime of learning,” he said.

    Ben Burrowes (ENZ) was invited to join in a traditional dance as part of the Whakatipu Scholarships award ceremony.

    ENZ Regional Director Ben Burrowes said he hoped the scholarships would ease the students’ journeys at university and strengthen indigenous links with New Zealand and te Ao Māori.

    The scholarships are part of the Education Cooperation Arrangement signed between Education New Zealand with Universiti Malaya in 2021.

     

     

     

  • Promoting a New Zealand education experience in Guangzhou

    General managers and directors from 25 education and tourism agencies attended a study tour development workshop on 15 August 2022, to identify and develop potential opportunities for New Zealand as a study tour destination for Chinese families.

    Workshop participants discussed opportunities to develop study tours to New Zealand for Chinese families.

    Several New Zealand education providers also participated, and the workshop reflected a strong collaborative effort by Tourism New Zealand and Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

    Education agents met with representatives of New Zealand institutions at the Guangzhou workshop.

    NZ Inc agencies again worked together to deliver a successful workshop for more than 50 education agents in Guangzhou later the same day. Representatives from 11 New Zealand education providers gave presentations and made the most of the opportunity to engage one-on-one with the education agents in a ‘speed dating’ format.

    “Guangzhou is an important education partner for New Zealand,” says Felix Ye, ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager who is based there. “It’s important for us to engage directly with key people in the sector, to raise the profile of New Zealand education given the full resumption of visa processing this month.

    “We took the opportunity to emphasise New Zealand’s commitment to providing quality education, supporting student wellbeing, and encouraging global citizenship, in line with the refreshed New Zealand International Education Strategy.”

    Christchurch 16 September 2022 

    Dunedin 22 September 2022 

    Auckland 29 September 2022 

    Wellington 6 October 2022 

    NZISA President Vikram Selvaraj

    NZISA President Vikram Selvaraj says this is a very special opportunity. 

    “Starting with Christchurch, where I’m based, was a great feeling for me personally. The idea for the Roadshow was so students could rebuild confidence, connect with other students and hear about the support that’s available. 

    The panel discussion in Christchurch included a range of speakers with an interest in international education.

    “Students who attended felt inspired by the panel discussion, and we are hoping that we will have this event again next year. 

    “We’re looking forward to the next three Roadshow locations and connecting with many more international students.” 

    Students can find more details and sign up to attend the events through the NZISA Facebook page.
