Viet Nam – New Zealand Education Forum in Waikato
This was the first such high-level delegation to visit New Zealand since the pandemic and follows the successful visit to Viet Nam by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in November, where both governments reaffirmed their commitment to working together as strategic partners. The delegation was led by H.E. Vương Đình Huệ, President of Viet Nam’s National Assembly.
Universities New Zealand, University of Waikato, and Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) hosted the event, which was attended by representatives from all eight New Zealand universities. New Zealand’s former Governor-General and current Chancellor of the University of Waikato Sir Anand Satyanand addressed the forum, along with ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson and The University of Waikato's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Neil Quigley, who launched a New Zealand – Viet Nam Friendship Association at the forum.
ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson spoke about his recent visit to Viet Nam, and our long history of education collaboration together.
“It’s nothing short of outstanding to see New Zealand and Viet Nam’s strong education ties that span the last 60 years. Educational cooperation has always been at the heart of our partnership.”
The forum proved to be a valuable opportunity to strengthen institution-to-institution relationships and further develop the education relationship between New Zealand and Viet Nam. Ten MoUs were signed between New Zealand and Vietnamese tertiary institutions, paving the way for further collaboration.

Europe market update for secondary schools
As the sector rebuilds capability and welcomes international students back to New Zealand, this session will provide valuable information to secondary school staff wanting to refresh their knowledge or learn more about working with education agents and recruiting school students in Europe.
We are hosting one 1.5-hour Zoom session on Thursday 16 March from 3.30-5.00pm NZT.
The session will introduce schools to ENZ’s Europe team, provide an update on the market, and have guest speakers on hand to share their experiences of working in Europe.
In previous years, many students from Germany, France and Italy have travelled to New Zealand on student exchanges, seeking new experiences at New Zealand high schools. These countries are a priority focus for ENZ staff based in Europe.
In 2019, 1855 German students, 406 Italian students, and 370 French students spent time studying in New Zealand high schools. At least 66% of German international students were enrolled in schools in 2020, making this the largest subsector for Germany students.
Register for the session here.

Applications open for group Prime Minister’s Scholarships to study in Asia and Latin America
Applications from groups, institutions or organisation who can meet the objectives of the scholarship are welcome. Last year, successful group applicants included marae, whānau Māori trusts, tertiary providers, non-profit organisations and more. Applications close on 23 April 2023.
ENZ’s General Manager Sector Services, Sahinde Pala, says the scholarships are a wonderful opportunity for New Zealanders to gain transformational education experiences in Asia and Latin America.
“We love how the scholarships allow New Zealanders from a wide range of backgrounds to continue to add a global aspect to their learning, and make meaningful, often lifelong connections with people from other countries and cultures.
Applicants are invited to think differently about what overseas learning opportunities could enrich the lives of learners or members of their community, and how they contribute to New Zealand more broadly.”
The Prime Minister’s Scholarships are funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao to support New Zealanders on learning experiences in Asia and Latin America.
The Scholarships’ group programme offers a flexible way to organise learning experiences in Asia and Latin America. Groups apply for a certain number of people, minimum of three, and once a programme is awarded, the organiser will run their own process to select the members who make up the group based on guidelines provided by ENZ.
Scholarship awardees from the 2022 group round have engaged in a diverse range of programmes, including customised indigenous-to-indigenous cultural exchange, advancing their language skills, learning new fashion design skills, and more.
Participants in a group programme simply need to meet the same eligibility requirements as individuals, including being a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident at least 18 years old at the date of applying.
Since its launch in 2013, the Prime Minister’s Scholarship programme has seen nearly 3,000 recipients, which helps New Zealand continue to engage with key partners in Asia and Latin America.
Applications for student groups from wānanga, universities, Te Pūkenga, private training establishments, iwi and other organisations will be open from 8 March – 23 April 2022, with successful applicants advised in early June.
More information is available on ENZ's dedicated scholarship website here.

Join ENZ’s virtual Latin America regional update
The session – set to take place on Wednesday 5 April at 9 am NZT – is an opportunity for those who are both new to the sector, or wanting to re-establish links in the region, to hear updates from our LatAm team.
As the New Zealand international education sector rebuilds, Latin America provides New Zealand institutions with an opportunity for diversification. New Zealand has well-established links in the region, with many strong connections in the fields of education, academic research, government, business, and agriculture.
Following the re-opening of borders in 2022, New Zealand has recently welcomed high school student groups on exchange from Brazil and Colombia. In turn, New Zealand students have travelled to Latin America as part of the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Latin America, participating in study tours and exchanges in Chile, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.
To learn more about the Latin America region, be sure to register for the session on this link

From the CE: India-New Zealand Education Week and release of the Broader Impact Valuation report
As you read this I will be about to get on to a plane to India. I’m leading a high-level University delegation to participate in the India-New Zealand Education Week from 16 - 22 April 2023. This is an important initiative which will further support the sector’s re-engagement with India, a market which remains critical to the recovery of international education.
The week features engagements with institution and Government partners, education agents, media and others involved in both student recruitment and internationalisation. We will also be re-launching the New Zealand Excellence Awards (NZEA), our flagship scholarships programme for India co-funded by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) and all eight universities. The week will be bookended by two ENZ Recognised Agent Fairs in Delhi and Mumbai respectively. I expect it to be successful and enormously valuable.
This is a nice segue to the release of the Broader Impact Valuation report made public for the first time in this edition of E-News. Commissioned by ENZ from EY the valuation found that international education is a significant contributor to the New Zealand economy.
In 2019, international education’s direct financial contribution to New Zealand’s GDP was $3.7 billion using the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) methodology. The CGE methodology applied by EY to determine the contribution was supported by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and Ministry of Education and is more rigorous than previous analyses.
Having established the direct financial contribution, EY explored the extent of the indirect longer-term contribution to New Zealand’s GDP from the small proportion of international students that remain in New Zealand after completion of their studies.
EY found that international students living and working in New Zealand in 2019 and 2022 contributed economic, social, cultural, and international benefits. Using Stats NZ Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) and CGE modelling, EY found that these students contributed in the order of $6 billion in the form of labour supply and productivity to New Zealand’s GDP in both 2019 and 2022.
Determining this contribution involved estimating the GDP output and wage impacts associated with New Zealand educated international students who remained in New Zealand and transitioned into the domestic workforce in the 10 years leading up to each year.
They also found that the pandemic significantly, and unsurprisingly, reduced the direct financial contribution to an estimated $0.8 billion in 2020. Truly tough times.
From my perspective the report is an important and long-awaited development. Using the most up to date valuation methodology it confirms the contribution the sector has made in the past, the contribution it makes beyond economic value, and tells us that it is possible to become a vibrant, sustainable and resilient sector in the future.
I urge you to download the full report, read it thoroughly and make use of its conclusions within your community.

Advertising opportunity for NZ education providers and regional groups in Japan
The publication is the only one of its kind supported by the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo and Education New Zealand. KBUNSHA distributes 20,000 copies to Japanese schools, universities and education organisations as well as education fairs and seminars.
ENZ’s Business Development Manager – Japan, Tomomi Kontani says “New Zealand’s border is now fully open to students from Japan, and interests from students and their parents, schools, and education agents are shifting back from other options.
“This is a great opportunity for New Zealand education providers and regional groups to join forces with us to promote New Zealand education to the Japanese public. ENZ Japan is planning to host and participate in various students/business-to-business stakeholder focus events in 2023, and this guidebook will be the main information source we refer to and distribute at these events. Destination marketing plays a key role in student attraction for a market like Japan with a tourism focus and we hope regions can also participate in this special opportunity to introduce their regions and activities.”
Advertisement rates for individual providers range from $NZ2,400 to $NZ6,600 for guidebook and/or website listing. Individual providers can download the proposal here. Advertising copy can be provided in English.
For regional groups, download the proposal here for further details on the guidebook and pricing (approx. $NZ2,400 for a 2-page colour advertisement and $NZD3,600 for a 4-page colour advertisement).

ITENZ International Education Forum 18 May
As part of Education New Zealand’s Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) objective to give attendees a better understanding of ENZ’s direction of travel for the coming year, Geoff Bilbrough, General Manager Marketing and Communications presented at the forum. He gave a high-level view of ENZ’s marketing plans for the coming year including marketing and branding insights from recent research. ENZ’s Global Citizens Manager, Tyler Te Kiri, delivered a presentation on the Prime Minister’s Scholarship to Asia and Latin America scheme, what opportunities are available to the PTE sector and how PTE students can take part. The forum also included a speed meeting session with Auckland based ENZRA agents.
ENZ’s General Manager of Sector Engagement, Wendy Kerr said that it was important that we support the sector in a way that grows inbound students’ mobility for Aotearoa New Zealand in the next 12 months.
“Initiatives like the ITENZ International Forum encourage a collective approach to promote New Zealand education internationally. Since borders reopened in August 2022, all sub sectors have experienced a return of student visa holders. We look forward to working closely with the sub sectors to continue this upward trajectory,” added Wendy.
