  • Funding available to reimagine international education

    Registrations of interest are open now for ENZ’s International Education Product Innovation Fund (PIF), closing on Wednesday 4 May 2022. Funding is available to all New Zealand-based organisations and individuals with fresh ideas for international education. 

    The PIF will support providers of education – whether established, new or emerging – to explore, develop and test pilot projects of new products and services that reimagine international education. 

    “New” could mean the mode of delivery, the configuration, the learner experience and learner outcomes, or the type of collaboration. The pilot projects developed through the PIF will help explore what could set New Zealand apart from its competitors, how students want to engage with New Zealand education, and how to increase the sector’s resilience to future shocks. 

    “We are extremely excited to now be receiving registrations of interest for the Product Innovation Fund”, says Euan Howden, ENZ’s Director of Innovation. “By encouraging and enabling the development of new, innovative products and services, we are seeking to position the sector for a more sustainable and resilient future and take advantage of trends such as alternative credentials, life-long learning and flexible learning.” 

    Underlying the PIF is the principle of tukutuku, or partnership. Each pilot project supported through the PIF will be a partnership based on mutual benefit and reciprocity between ENZ and the provider. 

    ENZ will offer funding of up to $300,000 per pilot (but is open to considering proposals that seek greater funding), as well as connections, support and credibility. In turn, ENZ is looking for applicants who can show a commitment of resource, a willingness to share lessons, reporting and insights for broader benefit, an openness to new thinking, and willingness to give best effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. 

    The PIF is one of ENZ’s initiatives underway to build a sustainable and diverse international education sector for New Zealand which is more resilient to future shocks such as COVID-19. The programme is funded by the Covid Response and Recovery Fund and is linked to the Government’s Strategic Recovery Plan for International Education. 

    The results of the pilots supported through the PIF will eventually inform recommendations to the Government in September 2023 on future investment in the development and diversification of international education.

  • Report from GHEDEX 2022

    This year saw a welcome return to an in-person event, attracting good numbers of students and international education stakeholders. ENZ showcased New Zealand as an education partner for Oman during the “Quality in Higher Education” conference that took place alongside GHEDEX. While in Muscat, ENZ also hosted an event for Omani alumni of New Zealand universities. Twenty-eight attended, from seven universities, providing a useful networking opportunity.

    Officials at GHEDEX confirmed that as our border is reopening, New Zealand is included in the just-released Omani Ministry of Higher Education’s 2022/23 handbook for scholarships. Feedback from education agents suggests that fewer scholarship students overall are expected this year.

    Dr Nadia Kasto, New Zealand Academic Advisor for the Omani Consulate-General in Melbourne confirmed that from next year, all Omani scholarship students will be able to make their own decisions about the country and university that best suit their study needs.

    “All universities have to work very hard to promote themselves to Omani students in order to get as many students as they can.”

  • Kōrerorero on quality education

    Panellists included 

    • Dr Dawn Freshwater, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Auckland, who is also the first woman to hold this role 
    • Dr Sandra Regina Goulart Almeida, Vice-Chancellor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Brazil 
    • Dr Alejandro Ceballos, Vice-Chancellor at the Universidad de Caldas in Colombia. 

    With simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and Portuguese, the session attracted more than 100 attendees and 350 registrations from across Latin America and Aotearoa New Zealand. Panellists shared their thoughts on gender equality, integration, and inclusion, and how to achieve more equitable access to quality education. They also discussed the main priorities and focus of their institution in relation to SDG 4, and how they overcome challenges to achieve the SDG’s objectives.  

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao’s Kōrerorero webinar series is intended for academics, education agents and media in Latin America and New Zealand. It has been particularly effective in maintaining awareness of a New Zealand education while our borders are closed, while also contributing to discussions on important matters related to international education. Across the six episodes since its launch in 2020, more than 1,000 people have attended, with many subsequent views on YouTube.

  • Delegation promotes NZ in Japan

    Arrangement with Japan Women’s University 

    An Education Cooperation Arrangement with Japan Women’s University (JWU) was signed on 22 April by Dr Ryoko Imaichi, Chancellor, Japan Women’s University Educational Corporation, and Grant McPherson on behalf of Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.  The Prime Minister was also present and spoke at the event.

    The partnership with JWU will see more students from the university and its four affiliated schools come to study in New Zealand. Eleven university and school students from the JWU network attended the signing ceremony and spoke with the Prime Minister about their pre-COVID 19 experiences travelling to New Zealand.  

    This event came shortly after the Prime Minister met with her former homestay sister from over 30 years ago. The homestay sister also attended the signing ceremony, where the Prime Minister spoke about her personal experience of international education, including hosting homestay students in New Zealand and studying abroad at Arizona State University.  

    “Like Japan, New Zealand is a long island nation from north to south, and while being influenced by diverse cultures, I deeply sympathize with the historical background that has led to the present. Moreover, the current New Zealand society, which embodies world-leading sustainability, should be a great learning experience for our students,” Professor Satoko Shinohara, President of Japan Women’s University, said. 

    In Japan, there is a strong focus on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals at the national and institutional level. Gender equality has received more emphasis in recent years and the new arrangement is timely for many reasons, as New Zealand and Japan focus on reconnecting to look towards the future.

     

    Relaunch of Game On English

    The Prime Minister, alongside the President of Fonterra Japan, Yasuhiro Saito, and the Commissioner from Japan Sports Agency, Mr Koji Murofushi, relaunched the Game On English programme that had been paused due to COVID-19. The 2022 phase of Game On will see female rugby players travel to Hamilton to study English and receive high-performance rugby training, sponsored by Fonterra.  

    Originally launched in 2014, during former Japanese Prime Minister Abe’s visit to New Zealand, Game On English was an initiative that allowed New Zealand to support Japan’s efforts to lift international skills and English language capability while also supporting rugby skills development in the lead up to the Olympics and Rugby World Cup 2019. More than 195 female and male high school rugby players have visited New Zealand to participate in the three-to-four-week programme.

    Image above: Prime Minister Ardern speaks at Chichibuya Stadium in Tokyo on 22 April 2022 to support the relaunch of Game On English for female rugby players to study English and receive rugby training.

     

    Working Holiday Scheme students

    Former Working Holiday Scheme participants from Japan were invited to an event held at Cookie Time Harajuku (Tokyo) store. Several students spoke about their work or study experience, and a recurring theme was how New Zealand changed their life. Working Holiday visa holders from any country can study for up to six months while on a working holiday visa in New Zealand.

    Image above: Prime Minister Ardern speaks to former working holiday visa holders about their work and study in New Zealand.

    There has been extensive media coverage of all three events in Japan, including via national newspapers and TV stations. This coverage will support ENZ’s promotional activities before the New Zealand border reopens on 2 May 2022 to short-term students from Japan, as a visa-waiver country.

  • ENZ to launch major global brand campaign, I AM NEW

    As we re-enter a competitive global environment, the brand campaign will look to articulate the high quality of New Zealand’s education experience in a deliberately unique, ownable and attention-grabbing way.  

    This major campaign will initially run for 12 weeks, complemented by in-market activations, events, and local PR. It will feature eight students from all over the world, spanning across our education sector and regions.  

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao invited our eight students to work alongside world-famous Māori fashion designer Kiri Nathan to collaborate on designing a new type of education garment that embodies the cultural values that make a New Zealand education unique: manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, and the pōtiki spirit of youthful energy and finding a better way. Through the narratives we tell focussed on the students’ experiences and goals, we’ll explore themes such as work and career readiness, sustainability, and innovation through collaboration. 

    Campaign assets will be available on The Brand Lab, with reporting data to be shared regularly. We look forward to reopening New Zealand education to the world in an inspiring way that only New Zealand could deliver.

  • Sharing our stories about international education

    As we prepare for more international students to return to New Zealand, we want to ensure these important guests feel welcome and appreciated by Kiwis. Each time students arrive on our shores, we have a moment to spotlight why international education is great for our communities and the country.  

    We’ve recently added some new case studies to our Skills Lab website - read more about a successful storytelling example from Hawke’s Bay here.  

    Many great stories come from the compelling research projects being led by international students in New Zealand. These stories align with our story framework by highlighting how international education helps to shape global citizens and solve the world’s problems.  

    For example, Dr Htin Lin Aung, a researcher at the University of Otago, is conducting ground-breaking research on tuberculosis (TB), the world’s second-leading infectious killer after COVID-19. Read more about this case study of a newsworthy story about a scientific breakthrough here. 

    Stories of international education in your organisation, school or region do not have to be serious or complicated. Often, the most intriguing news stories are of everyday people doing good in their communities. 

    We refer to these as “soft-news” stories, as they are underpinned by a human-interest angle. You can successfully land these stories if you make sure to include the key elements that make up a news story. You can read about how Learning Hawke’s Bay landed a positive story about international education here.  

    Stories can often have a strong local flavour, which is appealing for local media channels.  

    This case study will explain how Tauranga’s economic development agency Priority One planned three news stories within the space of a month, a strong example of how a series of stories can quickly build momentum and newsworthiness at a local level. You can read more about this case study here.
