Call for speakers for NZIEC KI TUA 2023
NZIEC KI TUA 2023 will be held in Ōtautahi Christchurch from 16 to 18 August 2023 at Te Pae Convention Centre. A welcome function will occur on Wednesday evening followed by two days of conference sessions on Thursday and Friday.
2023 marks the 30th time our conference will be held, and this year’s theme is Te Ara Ki Tua – the pathway ahead. As we celebrate this milestone, our theme encourages us to consider how our sector can thrive in the future.
We’re calling for speakers to help us explore the following sub-themes:
- Excellent Experiences – How can we foster excellent experiences for international students studying with Aotearoa New Zealand?
- Marketing Smarts – What are the most effective ways to market to and recruit international students?
- Growing Global – How can we grow our relationships with international partners?
- Authentically Aotearoa – How can our international education offerings tap into what makes our country special?
- Fresh Offerings – How can we develop fresh programmes, products, services and partnerships and take them to the world?
Please refer to the NZIEC KI TUA website here for detailed information on the theme and sub-themes, session formats, tips for your abstract and biography, and speaker terms and conditions.
You can submit your speaking proposal through the NZIEC KI TUA Speaker Portal. Submissions close on 22 May 2023.
If you have any questions, please contact us at nziec@enz.govt.nz.
We hope you will consider joining us at NZIEC KI TUA to discuss the key opportunities and challenges facing our sector as we discuss Te Ara Ki Tua.
An in-person format and early bird registration
Subject to pandemic settings, this year’s conference will be an in-person format. Sector feedback revealed a strong desire to return in-person, in part to facilitate kanohi-ki-te-kanohi connections after so many years apart.
We are not intending to offer a hybrid option (in-person and virtual format) this year as this requires additional resources to deliver and a hybrid approach results in inferior experiences for both audiences. To support attendance, and in recognition of the impact of Covid-19, a discounted early bird registration rate will be available this year.

Thailand gearing up for popular education expo
TIECA is Thailand’s peak body of educational consultants, and aims to help raise standards of practice and services for both students and international institutions. They currently have some 70 members actively working in the education area.
Jaruwan Pongjaruwat, ENZ’s Programme Manager – Thailand, says the successful history of the expo, combined with the sheer number of attendees this year, makes it a key event that New Zealand institutions shouldn’t miss.
“Last year, we had about five New Zealand providers join the fair, and it would be great to have even more this time. It’s a fantastic opportunity for providers to interact with students and agents face-to-face and get their foot in the door.”
At the fair, institutions can network with TIECA agents and discuss possibilities for working together. There will also be seminars throughout the expo to raise awareness of institutions and increase student enrolment. For students interested in studying abroad, the expo will provide access to the TIECA member directory and other materials to support their decision making process.
The expo will focus on all areas of study including language schools, high schools and universities, with participants from educational institutions in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Malaysia, the United States and many other countries.
The TIECA expo has been promoted extensively online, and is inviting online celebrity students to join in and entice more students along.
To get involved, download and complete an application form from Booth Booking Form and submit to manager@tieca.com

International education adds value across New Zealand
The reports follow theEconomic Impact of International Education 2015/16 released in November 2016. While that research looked at the New Zealand-wide picture, the latest reports, commissioned by ENZ, detail mean living costs and tuition fees, the number of jobs supported and contribution to GDP in specific regions – covering Northland, Bay of Plenty (including Tauranga and Rotorua), Taranaki, Manawatu-Whanganui, Hawke’s Bay, Nelson Marlborough, Otago (including Dunedin and Queenstown) and Southland.
As well as economic gain, the social and cultural benefits of international education have also been felt across the country – among students, teachers, families, businesses and communities.
MetOcean Solutions, a Taranaki-based company specialising in oceanography and marine forecasting, has found enormous help in Mariana, an international student from Brazil. Dr Malene Felsing, MetOcean Solutions Science Communications, said Mariana’s cultural insights have been a big help for the company, which exports to South America.
“Having Mariana on hand to tell us about the culture there, what kind of marketing people respond to, and how to foster relationships has been very helpful – and the fact that she speaks Portuguese is an added bonus,” said Felsing.
In Whanganui, Rosie Austin, Director of International Students at Whanganui Collegiate School, said international students contribute to the wider community as well as within the school.
“As members of the school choir, youth orchestra and jazz band, our international students are out and about performing for the local community. Some play in the Whanganui Orchestra, one has been invited to play in the New Zealand Junior Symphony Orchestra, and another in the recent International Flute symposium in Christchurch.”
In Tauranga, Janelle and Brendan Mark are one of countless host families who welcome international students into their home each year. The Marks are currently hosting Aki, a 16-year-old from Japan, who Janelle and Brendan’s children, aged 8 and 12, particularly enjoy having in the home.
“Aki has already taught them some Japanese and how to make origami," said Janelle.
“She is a big part of our family and is going to be a hard one to let go of at the airport in December. Though I have no doubt we’ll do it again next year. It is a huge responsibility taking care of someone else’s child, but it’s a wonderful and rewarding experience.”

Audience welcomed by kapa haka-NAFSA
This year the conference took place in Denver, Colorado and through Education New Zealand’s (ENZ) stepped-up investment in the conference, an increased profile of New Zealand education opportunities was evident throughout the week.
ENZ’s platinum sponsorship of this year’s conference provided New Zealand with a speaking slot for the New Zealand Ambassador to the US, Tim Groser, at the beginning of the opening plenary session, a 10-minute performance by Te Tini a Maui, a kapa haka group from Vancouver during the opening plenary, and the screening of a video about New Zealand education at all plenary sessions throughout the conference.
Other sponsorship benefits included the inclusion of flyers in the conference satchels and digital tote bags of the approximately 10,000 registrants, banner advertising in the online conference programme, and the opportunity to showcase New Zealand culture and education opportunities on the expo hall soundstage.
The ENZ-sponsored opening plenary was a very proud moment for all New Zealand representatives, and NAFSA organisers said it would be a hard opening act to follow. A great kapa haka display prefaced by a heart-felt speech by the group leader about the importance of education and people, welcomed over 6,500 delegates into the conference theatre. Ambassador Groser’s speech had the audience in turns cheering (a thinly-veiled reference to Trump) and gasping (domestic fees for international PhD students in New Zealand).
The increased New Zealand profile throughout the Expo was notable to New Zealand representatives and delegates alike. “NAFSA 2016 may well go down as the Kiwi NAFSA,” said Jason Cushen, Deputy Director International at the University of Otago. “Our booth was widely admired, the New Zealand function on the Tuesday evening was the talk of the conference, the kapa haka performances were show-stoppers and Ambassador Groser's address was well received. As an institution, the University of Otago, couldn't have been happier with how the week went.”
ENZ will be a platinum sponsor of NAFSA 2017. If you are interested in discussing opportunities to attend next year’s conference, which will take place in Los Angeles at the end of May next year, please contact Amy Rutherford, Director of Education, North America.

Minister congratulates education community on 2015 results
Mr Joyce made the comments in his media release issued this week about the 2015 International Education Snapshot Report. New Zealand’s international education industry grew to 125,011 international student enrolments in 2015.This is an overall increase of 14,748 enrolments and every region experienced growth.
“New Zealand is increasingly being recognised for the excellent education and study experiences it delivers to both local and international students,” Mr Joyce said.
“The benefits of international education extend well beyond the economic contribution to the economy. Young New Zealanders live and learn alongside people from other countries, increasing their understanding of other cultures and boosting our links with the world. These links are vital for us to prosper in an increasingly Asia-Pacific world,” says Mr Joyce.
Tuition fee income received from international education reached $1 billion for the first time in 2015. Fee income reached $1.029 billion, a 17 per cent increase ($146 million) on 2014. Statistics New Zealand recorded the value of education exports as $3.1 Billion for the year to March 2016.
The fastest growing markets for New Zealand education in 2015 were India with a 45 per cent increase in international student enrolments (9,013), China up 13 per cent (3,881), and the Philippines up 83 per cent (1,648).
“While most of this growth has been good for New Zealand, it is important to ensure that all student recruitment in fast-growing markets like India is done within the rules and regulations that New Zealand sets. The new Code of Practice for Pastoral Care of International Students that came into force last Friday makes it clear that all New Zealand tertiary providers are responsible for the activities of their agents,” says Mr Joyce
Auckland continues to be the largest region for international student enrolments with 63 per cent of enrolments, similar to 2014. Canterbury has 8.4 per cent of enrolments (an increase in enrolments of 13 per cent to 10,547), and Wellington has 5.9 per cent (an increase of 9 per cent to 7,456) of international student enrolments.
Education providers also welcomed more students in Nelson/Tasman (21 per cent growth), Bay of Plenty (22 per cent), Southland (18 per cent), Waikato (7 per cent), Northland (6 per cent) and Hawke’s Bay (4 per cent).
“It is important that regional New Zealand shares fully in the growth of our international education sector and it’s great to see strong growth in many regions. Education New Zealand will continue to develop their new Regional Partnership Programme to promote the benefits of studying in each regions,” says Mr Joyce.

Register now for ENZ’s East Asia/Japan/Korea market sentiment webinar series
For the past few months, Education New Zealand’s East Asia team has been conducting research to develop ‘Market Sentiment’ findings for each of the region’s seven focus markets.
The research has been developed through interviews and surveys with key in-market stakeholders such as agents, students/parents, local institutions and local government partners. We’ve also conducted desktop research and leveraged reports from external research agencies.
Based on the findings, ENZ has developed activities and identified opportunities in which we can now work collaboratively with industry and other government agencies to realise.
Some of the key insights have been distilled into individual one-page market updates which can be found on ENZ’s IntelliLab platform:
To deliver the full research insights, we will be hosting a series of webinars for our New Zealand industry colleagues (including Q&A sessions) on the following dates:
Tuesday, 28 July (3pm NZ time)
Vietnam/Philippines
Wednesday, 29 July (3pm NZ time)
Japan/Thailand/South Korea
Thursday, 30 July (3pm NZ time)
