Japan to headline NZIEC as Country of Honour
The Country of Honour designation celebrates and showcases New Zealand’s international education connections with partner countries.
This year, ENZ has joined with the Japanese Embassy to celebrate the growing education connections between New Zealand and Japan.
Misa Kitaoka, ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager for Japan, said the timing couldn’t be better to showcase Japan.
“It is an exciting year for Japan and New Zealand relations, with Japan hosting the Rugby World Cup in September this year, and the Olympics and Paralympics in 2020.“NZIEC will leverage the attention this will bring to celebrate the strong education relationship between our two countries as well as to ignite a renewed, strategic partnership with Japan that presents new business opportunities for our industry partners.
“We look forward to celebrating this relationship with conference delegates in August, and already have lots of ideas of how to showcase Japanese culture at the event.”Japan is New Zealand’s third largest source of international students, with more than 10,000 Japanese students enrolled here annually. These numbers are on the rise, showing solid growth particularly in the school sector.
The Japanese government’s accelerated plans and policies for internationalisation, in conjunction with the two international sporting events, have prompted Japanese schools and universities to develop overseas study programmes.
For these reasons, ENZ signed a MOU with Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education in 2017 and Atsugi Board of Education in 2018.

Statement from Grant McPherson, ENZ Chief Executive
New Zealand authorities and emergency services are working together to respond to the terrorist incident in Christchurch yesterday.
Education New Zealand is working with providers and students to ensure they have the support and information they need.
ENZ endorses this statement from New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on the event:
Our thoughts and our prayers are with those who have been impacted today. Christchurch was their home. For many, this may not have been the place they were born, in fact for many, New Zealand was their choice.
The place they actively came to, and committed to. The place they were raising their families. Where they were parts of communities that they loved and who loved them in return. It was a place that many came to for its safety. A place where they were free to practice their culture and their religion.
For those of you who are watching at home tonight, and questioning how this could have happened here.
We, New Zealand, we were not a target because we are a safe harbour for those who hate.
We were not chosen for this act of violence because we condone racism, because we are an enclave for extremism.
We were chosen for the very fact that we are none of those things.
Because we represent diversity, kindness, compassion. A home for those who share our values. Refuge for those who needs it. And those values will not and cannot be shaken by this attack.
We are a proud nation of more than 200 ethnicities, 160 languages. And amongst that diversity we share common values. And the one that we place the currency on right now is our compassion and support for the community of those directly affected by this tragedy.

Letter from the Acting CE: After Christchurch
As Grant McPherson said last week, the tragedy in Christchurch was an assault on the values that New Zealanders hold dear – values of international friendship, tolerance, care and a global outlook. These values are at the core of international education and they are more important now than ever.
While our country grieves, we have been heartened by the compassion we’ve seen across New Zealand – Campus Watch initiatives, vigils, social media engagement and practical help with transport and food, much of it led by students.
We are heartened that the outpouring of support and concern from New Zealanders over the last 12 days has been so visible internationally.
At ENZ, we are continuing our close contact with education providers, international teams and government partners, as well as monitoring and evaluating the latest intelligence and media coverage. We will continue to respond to industry and market needs for information, reassurance and practical support including messages to current and prospective students and families.
Over the next few weeks, we will be incorporating messages of care and support into all our activities and approaches.
ENZ is committed to promoting New Zealand internationally as an inclusive and welcoming study destination, where manaakitanga is shown to all students who join us here.

New Zealand commended for inclusivity and humanity at APAIE
A New Zealand delegation featuring all eight universities attended APAIE 2019 as part of a planned strategy to build New Zealand’s presence ahead of the 2021 conference which will be hosted in Auckland.
The 2019 conference, themed “Diversity and inclusivity in higher education”, attracted more than 2,500 delegates between 25-29 March.
Discussions centred around the role that international education could play to enable disparate cultures and communities to embrace diversity and difference.
This theme had particular resonance in the wake of the Christchurch terrorist attack, and New Zealand’s response earned high praise from University of Oxford-educated Her Majesty The Permaisuri (Queen Consort) of Johor, Raja Zarith Sofiah Binti Almarhum Sultan Idris. (Johor is a state in the south of the Malay Peninsula and shares maritime borders with Singapore and Indonesia.)
In her opening address of the conference, Raja Zarith Sofiah said: “While we at this conference speak about diversity and inclusivity as part of academic discussions and presentations, the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, and all New Zealanders, from students to biker groups, have shown what inclusivity truly means when it is more than just words and promises, but are acts of great kindness, acceptance and humanity.
“Indeed, the way that the schools and universities there showed their respect and empathy prove – beyond mere words – that the breadth and depth of diversity and inclusivity transcends all levels, giving everyone equal opportunities at being heard and being understood,” said Her Majesty.New Zealand’s 2021 conference theme is “Innovation for sustainable futures” and will focus on building links between APAIE and universities in the South Pacific region.
With 2,500 – 3,000 delegates and at least 300 exhibition booths, it is expected to be the largest international education event to be held in New Zealand to date. It will be held in Auckland at the New Zealand International Conference Centre (NZICC), which is currently under construction.
“Over the next couple of years, ENZ will work with the New Zealand sector to build our presence at the APAIE conference British Columbia in 2020, so that the 2021 conference delivers for our education providers and showcases the best of our international education sector to the world” said Grant McPherson, ENZ Chief Executive.

University of Auckland tops Impact Rankings 2019
The University of Auckland (UoA) is ranked 1st overall based on its performance on four of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): partnership for the goals; good health and wellbeing; gender equality; and sustainable cities and communities.
Initiatives include a staff cycling scheme, changes in printing access to reduce paper waste, recycling workshops and clothing swaps.
Two other New Zealand universities also placed well: AUT at 16th and Massey at 38th. More than 500 universities around the world submitted data for the report.
This is the first time THE has published its Impact Rankings. While most university rankings use indicators of research and teaching excellence, the Impact Rankings aim to recognise universities for their social and economic impact.
UoA Vice-Chancellor Professor Stuart McCutcheon is delighted that UoA’s work has been acknowledged internationally and demonstrates how relevant universities are.
“Universities have an important role to play in generating the knowledge and capacity necessary to achieve the SDG objectives. Correspondingly, they are valuable to universities because they enable us to frame our research, teaching, operations, capacity building, networks and partnerships in a way that enables the contributions we make to be universally recognised and understood.”
Massey University Vice-Chancellor Professor Jan Thomas says, “The University of Auckland is to be congratulated for an outstanding performance as number one in the world. I believe that reflects well on the entire nation.
“This exercise is valuable to universities. It makes us pause and take stock of what we do, align with collaborative global goals and examine our contributions against these goals in a way that can be globally benchmarked.”
ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson said the results reflected well on New Zealand.
“Their contributions on these issues are a testament to their global outlook, and reinforce New Zealand’s reputation as an advanced, progressive and innovative society. It is also what makes New Zealand an attractive study destination to many students from around the world each year.”

Letter from the CE: Living the brand
I would like to offer a very big thank you to education providers up and down the country for the genuine support and compassion you gave to your students and families after the terrorist attacks in Christchurch. You embodied New Zealand’s brand values.
I would especially like to acknowledge the work that went into ensuring accurate, appropriate messages were given to students, parents and other key parties, and the ongoing efforts to visit, and speak and comfort, affected people personally.
Because of this amazing level of support, international students are continuing to have positive experiences in New Zealand. We have heard of very few cases of international students returning home, and in some cases, the warmth in our response has only reaffirmed their decision to study here.
Here at ENZ, we are continuing to respond in a market-specific way to ensure New Zealand remains a sought-after study destination.
These progressive and inclusive values Kiwis have demonstrated in recent weeks will be reflected in the ‘Think New’ brand refresh currently underway. It strengthens New Zealand’s identity as a welcoming study destination for all students, with strong cultural values and a future-focussed teaching style and learning environment where students can prepare for the future.
We look forward to sharing it with you later in the year.

New campaign focuses on new paths
The integrated global campaign aims to engage ENZ’s existing audiences across our database and social media channels, and to raise brand awareness with new audiences, particularly reaching those who are actively seeking out information about studying in New Zealand.
Kaylee Butters, ENZ’s Director, Brand & Design, says New Futures Need New Paths builds on the messaging introduced in the 2018 Future Proof campaigns, while aligning with ENZ’s refreshed Think New brand strategy, which will be launched later this year.
“Our overarching campaign message is that a New Zealand education provides students with the skills required to excel in their future careers and create a positive impact in their world,” said Kaylee.
The campaign draws on New Zealand’s strengths in educating students for the Future.
In both 2017 and 2018, New Zealand has been ranked among the top three countries in the world in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Educating for the Future Index.
“Our teaching style and learning environment, alongside our unique cultural values, make us the perfect destination for students who think differently and wish to forge their own paths,” said Kaylee.
The 2018 World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report highlights analytical thinking and innovation, active learning and learning strategies, creativity, originality and initiative as some of the top skills that will be in demand in the near future.
To support the campaign, ENZ is creating three compelling hero videos that speak to the campaign theme, featuring three international PhD students with visions of a more sustainable future. Conducting research in the fields of marine biology, conservation and renewable energy, their paths have all brought them to New Zealand because of the unique opportunities they have here that will help them pursue their goals.
“We encourage education providers to use the campaign assets and key campaign messages/themes in your marketing activity,” said Kaylee.
Videos, images and infographics as well as tips on how to leverage this campaign will feature on The Brand Lab for New Zealand education providers and ENZ Recognised Agencies to use in marketing activity, including on websites, social media and at events.

Vietnamese alumni promote New Zealand education
Van Banh, ENZ’s Market Manager for Viet Nam, said this was the first alumni event co-hosted by ENZ and the New Zealand Embassy, and was a great chance to recognise alumni and explore how ENZ can work with them to promote New Zealand education in Viet Nam.
“Many of them remain champions of New Zealand education offerings, and in Viet Nam, they are very high profile among prospective students. Vietnamese students here really look to speak to our alumni, so it is crucial that ENZ leverages the alumni network to profile New Zealand’s education.”
“For this reason, we always invite our alumni to attend education fairs to answer enquiries about life and study in New Zealand. Their anecdotes and experience really make an impact on the minds and dreams of prospective students.
“The alumni themselves see these kinds of events as an excellent opportunity to network and exchange ideas for building up a New Zealand-educated community in Viet Nam.”
At the event, Wendy Matthews, New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam, spoke about the important role of alumni and the value of cultivating long-term global connections.

Three alumni in attendance, Phong Ngo (Victoria University of Wellington), Van Nguyen (Otago University) and Thu Trang (Victoria University of Wellington) are giving back by setting up an association for New Zealand alumni in Viet Nam and helping prospective students keen on pursuing education in New Zealand.
ENZ’s Viet Nam team will be running an Alumni Advocacy Campaign in October/November this year. It will feature Vietnamese alumni’s success stories and will also include ENZ-facilitated workshops and one-on-one consultation sessions for prospective students to learn from alumni.
Approximately 2,500 Vietnamese students studied in New Zealand in 2017, the majority at university level.
