• Code Camp gives Japanese students a taste of a NZ education

  ENZ delivered a one-day Code Camp on 11 July to 14 high school students at Waseda Jitsugyo School, using the Code Avengers platform to deliver coding lessons in English to the students and help them build a New Zealand-themed website.

  Code Avengers is a global EdTech company based in NZ that provides interactive, gamified online courses that teach a broad range of digital skills including computer coding, digital literacy, and design.

  The Code Camp was delivered in a hybrid format with two instructors onsite at the school and one instructor joining online. The day received positive feedback from students who not only enjoyed learning how to code using English, but also experienced New Zealand’s inquiry-based style of learning in a fun, collaborative environment.

  ENZ’s Director of Education – Japan, Misa Kitaoka, says there is plenty of potential for EdTech services in Japan.

  “While there is a general perception of Japan being technologically advanced, there is a lot of catching up to do when it comes to technology . As the Japanese government accelerates the promotion of digital education during the pandemic, Code Avengers meets the immediate demands of Japanese educators to teach Digital Technology and English language.

  “What makes Code Avengers unique is its user-friendliness, accessibility and affordability.”

  Coming up in September, ENZ is teaming up with Young Enterprise (YES), the North Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence (North Asia CAPE) and MEXT Tobitate (Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) to deliver a 3-day Biz Venture Programme.

  Twenty high school students from Japan and New Zealand will meet online for three days to develop business solutions to address social issues in Japan, including child poverty, gender equality and well-being, and exploring the themes of UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

  Like Code Avengers, YES has been supporting secondary schools across NZ to promote youth entrepreneurship registering more than 1,000 enterprises, some of which have a strong SDGs focus on their business solutions.

  Head of YES, Elizabeth Pittman says, “We are thrilled to offer our first ever entrepreneurship programme for New Zealand and Japanese students.

  “With New Zealand’s geographic isolation and relatively small population, many Kiwi businesses need to think globally from the start. The BizVenture programme will allow our students to understand the Japanese business context and increase their global competency.  New Zealand youth have such a strong interest in sustainability and improving social outcomes within their communities and abroad, and this challenge allows them to explore that interest in a business context.” 

  ENZ looks forward to continuing to exploring new modes of delivery and showcasing NZ education to key partners in Japan.

• From the Chief Executive: Take a new look at a New Zealand education

  Kia ora koutou,

  I’m excited to share Education New Zealand’s new global brand campaign – “Take a new look at a New Zealand education.”

  The brand campaign is designed to ensure that a New Zealand education remains a highly desirable one.

  The campaign promotes our international education sector and the audience includes students around the world who want to explore new, flexible study options.

  In other words, it’s a move from Study in New Zealand to Study with New Zealand – a broader idea that draws together all our onshore options with online, offshore, pathway and blended learning.

  The campaign is crucial to the evolution of our New Zealand education brand, as we move towards reconnecting with the world.

  It’s one of the keys to the Strategic Recovery Plan for International Education, which aims to diversify New Zealand’s education offerings and create a resilient international education sector.

  Over November and December 2021, the first phase of the campaign will position New Zealand as a global education provider – one that students can choose to study with from anywhere in the world.

  The video-led campaign targets all our markets using a robust email strategy. It is underway in most markets now and will be rolled out in China over the next few weeks. Watch the campaign video here.

  ENZ has also produced new creative materials for education providers to use in their own promotions and marketing activity. I am really pleased to see how these materials – brand messages, photographs and video – reflect the shift to the Study with New Zealand message.

  All brand and campaign materials are available to you on this ENZ Brand Lab link. Please use them in your work and encourage our education agent partners to do the same.

  Our digital platforms will also be evolving to reflect the shift to the Study with New Zealand message.

  I’m grateful to our education providers, who worked with us on this project. It was great to develop this campaign in consultation with people from the sector and to meet their request for unified marketing and messaging for New Zealand education.

• ENZ moves to Study with New Zealand website

  The official government site for advice on how to study with New Zealand has been completely rebuilt and rebranded, in line with ENZ’s new global brand campaign to attract more international students to a New Zealand education.

  The Study with New Zealand website showcases the full range of choices available to international students, from studying in New Zealand to new, flexible options for online and offshore courses, and pathways from these courses to further onshore study or blended learning programmes. It replaces the Study in New Zealand site.

  Students can search for a course, a school, an education agent or a scholarship in a more intuitive and comprehensive way. ENZ will add new functions to the site in early 2022, including more enhancements to the Finder tool.

  The new website is a key part of ENZ’s strategy for the evolution of the New Zealand education brand, in line with the Strategic Recovery Plan for International Education, which aims to diversify our education offerings and rebuild a more resilient sector.

  Inviting students to study with New Zealand is more than just a subtle shift in language. 

  The website asks students to take a new look at a New Zealand education. It features ENZ’s new brand messages, photographs and videos showing students learning online. All brand and campaign materials are available for use by international education providers and agents on the ENZ Brand Lab.

  We welcome your comments and suggestions on the new site. Get in touch with Study with New Zealand digital project manager Brooke Dyer at feedback@studywithnewzealand.govt.nz

• Brazilian students ready to travel to New Zealand

  Academic performance and class attendance were a key focus of the selection process for the students, who are between 14 and 16 years old. They were chosen to represent all regions of the state, which has a population of around 11 million people and an economy with a strong emphasis on agribusiness. 

  Their trip is scheduled for late July. Students will fly into Auckland, and most will travel on from there to other parts of New Zealand: Rotorua, Napier, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Invercargill. They will study in regular classes at New Zealand schools and stay with local families. The goal of the immersion is not only for them to get to experience the New Zealand education system, but also the way of life of New Zealanders, leisure options and New Zealand scenery. 

  

  Brazilian students at the presentation of the study abroad programme to New Zealand.

  To mark the beginning of the study abroad process, the teenagers participated in a two-day orientation session in Curitiba, the capital city of Paraná state. At the event, they received information for their trip: how to prepare their luggage, necessary documents, items that can be taken, what to do when arriving in New Zealand, among other tips. 

  

  (l to r) Ana Laura, Isabela Camargo, Gabriela Martins and Maria Eduarda are ready to study in New Zealand.

  Friends Maria Eduarda (14), Isabela Camargo (15), Gabriela Martins (15) and Ana Laura (14) paid close attention. They have never travelled abroad and are very excited about the chance to study in New Zealand. Maria Eduarda commented that she wants to “make many friends and keep in touch with them even after returning to Brazil”. Isabela hopes to “find a totally different culture, even school I think will be different”. 

  For Gabriela, the goal is “to learn a lot about New Zealand culture, especially about the Māori. I want to learn skills that will really prepare me for the future, as well as improve my English language.” Ana summarises her expectations for the trip: “I think I will return to Brazil with a new perspective on life.” 

  

  ENZ’s Market Development Manager in Brazil, Bruna de Natale, presents information on New Zealand education to students.

  Bruna de Natale, Education New Zealand's market development manager in Brazil, joined the event to present information on New Zealand education for the Brazilian students. She highlighted the quality of New Zealand’s educational institutions, their focus on useful skills for the future and explained how they work to prepare global citizens able to tackle issues such as sustainability, human rights and development. 

  The New Zealand schools that will be hosting the Brazilian students are: Central Southland College, Freyberg High School, Havelock North High School, Howick College, Hutt Valley High School, Kapiti College, Oxford Area School, Paraparaumu College, Rangiora High School, Selwyn College, and Western Heights High School. 

  This programme is fully funded by the Paraná Government, through Paraná’s Secretary of Education. 

   

• NZ Centre agreement with Peking University renewed

  Established in 2007, the New Zealand Centre promotes strong academic engagement between New Zealand and China across diverse fields and builds mutual understanding between both countries. It is supported by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ). 

  A special event to mark the signing was jointly held at Peking University and at New Zealand's Parliament on 27 July 2022, hosted by Education Minister Chris Hipkins. Chinese Vice Minister of Education Tian Xuejun provided a speech, while New Zealand’s Ambassador to China, Clare Fearnley, took the opportunity to thank ENZ for funding migratory birds research, announcing this initiative during the ceremony.  Around 50 guests, including former New Zealand ambassadors to China and China experts from New Zealand’s universities, attended the Wellington event.

• High level of interest in PM's Scholarships

  “We’re particularly pleased in the level of interest, given outbound mobility has been paused since March 2020,” says ENZ’s Global Citizenship Manager Carla Rey Vasquez.  

  “Since the Prime Minister’s Scholarships reopened earlier this year, we’ve also tried hard to reach a wider range of people than previously. 

  “In this latest round, 17 percent of applicants are Māori while the age range is from 18 to 66 years old. We want to continue achieving greater diversity and inclusion, so that a wider range of people can have an international education experience, and the opportunity to develop their global citizenship skills and learn more about the language and culture of partner countries.”  

  The majority of applications (110) were for Prime Minister’s Scholarships to Asia, with South Korea the most popular destination country. Prime Minister’s Scholarships to Latin America received 55 applications, and the top destination country is Colombia.  

  An extra step in selecting the final recipients has been introduced this year. If they are shortlisted, applicants will be given 10 days to respond to four additional questions seeking more detailed information about their proposed programme.  

  Completed applications will then be considered by the selection panel, which is due to meet in late October.   

  The current Prime Minister’s Scholarships round is for individual applicants, following the first round that awarded scholarships to 30 groups in July.
