• Register for the China Mayoral Forum education session

  The forum theme is sustainable economies, and is an opportunity to strengthen relationships with regions of both countries. Fifteen mayors and vice-mayors from across China will attend alongside 33 mayors from across New Zealand, including smaller regional centres.

  Following introductory presentations by Sir Richard Taylor (WETA Group) and Maggie Zhou (Alibaba), the forum will discuss opportunities for trade, investment, education and developing mutually beneficial partnerships.

  The forum is being organised by Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) and Wellington City Council, with support from ENZ.

  LGNZ President Dave Cull says the forum is an excellent opportunity to grow relationships with New Zealand’s largest trading partner.

  “There is much to be gained for our communities in developing a greater understanding and appreciation of how China operates,” said Mr Cull.

  “Face-to-face meetings provide the opportunity for the representatives of our cities, districts and regions to engage directly and look for mutually-beneficial economic development opportunities.”

  Sarah Gauthier, ENZ Regional Project Manager, said the education break-out session would be particularly relevant.

  “This will be an engaging panel discussion touching on key ideas and interactions with China on education, followed by a chance to engage with some of the Chinese representatives,” said Sarah.

  “We encourage education institutions, regional education organisations and other service providers to attend.”

• Market reports moving to IntelliLab

  ENZ has previously published information about its priority markets on enz.govt.nz.

  However, ENZ has since removed these and replaced them with the in-depth Economist Intelligence Unit country forecasting reports, available on IntelliLab.

  Andrew McPhee, ENZ’s Intelligence Manager, said the market reports provide useful insights for industry players.

  “The forecasting reports are an independent, specialist and unbiased perspective on our key markets, and cover everything from a country’s demography, business environment, political outlook, economic outlook and market opportunities,” said Andrew.

  “The main reports are updated annually, with six monthly updates also provided – making them a current and reliable source of market information.”

  Reports are available for Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Europe, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Vietnam and the US.

  ENZ market factsheets are also being completed, with India and China already uploaded, and more to come in the near future.

  The reports on IntelliLab are only available to registered users, who must be New Zealand education providers or officials.

  “Registration also provides access to other great reports too, with new research continually uploaded,” said Andrew.

• Register for China vocational education forum

  The forum brings together government agencies, and industry and education leaders in technical and vocational education from New Zealand and China.

  The aim is for all those involved to share their experiences in developing training institutions, strengthen collaboration between the two countries, and plan the development of model programmes in the sector.  

  This is the 6^th forum which has been held annually in either China or New Zealand under the auspices of the China-New Zealand Vocational Education and Training Model Programme.      

  With at least 52 senior leaders from higher vocational education institutions in China set to attend, ENZ Regional Director China & North Asia, Adele Bryant, says the event is a unique opportunity for New Zealand vocational and technical education leaders to demonstrate how their institutions are fostering critical and creative thinking in students.

  “With ‘The Entrepreneurial Institution’ theme, this year’s forum is a great platform to showcase New Zealand’s strengths in encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship,” Adele said.

  “It’s a fantastic opportunity to share ideas, network and form relationships with leaders from China at a time when they are increasingly looking to New Zealand for solutions.”

  A range of leaders in vocational education in New Zealand – from CEOs and International Directors to anyone involved in developing innovation and entrepreneurship strategies at vocational training institutions – are invited to present at the forum.

  Registration is limited to 50 delegates from New Zealand, with early bird registrations closing 31 August.

• STEM and higher education in Thailand

  More than 600 visitors, along with our eight universities, Te Pūkenga and English New Zealand, attended ENZ’s online New Zealand Higher Education Showcase in early November. Instead of only showcasing institutions, we decided this year to have a Gradvocate live session as the main feature of the event.   

  Graduate students discussed their experience of higher education in New Zealand, and enabled Thai students and parents to see how successful our alumni are.  Asia’s 2019 Breakout Musician and NZ alumni Phum Viphurit performed a mini-concert, and ENZ’s Lisa Futschek granted the 2021 Alumni Hall of Fame Award to three outstanding alumni: Dr. Chakrit Tiebtienrat, Mr. Narun Wiwattanakrai, and Ms. Wipapat Somumchan.  

  The increase in registrations and visitors for this year’s event demonstrates growing interest in New Zealand’s higher education.  There were 620 unique visitors from 1,260 registrations, an increase of 59% in visitors and 3.6% in registration numbers since last year.   

  Later in November, the Thailand team successfully launched a NZ STEM Webinar series for teachers and students from Princess Chulabhorn Science High School (PCSHS) network, which comprises 12 schools for gifted students in four regions of Thailand.  

  The five webinars were offered in partnership with the University of Otago.  Presentations on topics such as augmented reality gave gifted young students the opportunity to see some of the pathways into STEM tertiary education in New Zealand.  Dr. Khunying Kalaya Sophonpanich, Deputy Minister of Education Thailand, also spoke at one of the webinars.

• Planning for success in Taranaki

  The Taranaki International Education Strategy was launched by Minister Joyce in New Plymouth on Tuesday 23 February, when he announced that the government is investing $162,000 in the initiative over two years, through the RPP.

  And, the news of the launch reached China!

  A partnership between Venture Taranaki and local education providers will allow the group to share resources and make strategic and targeted investments. It will also enable collateral and pathway products to be developed, agent familiarisation visits to take place, and make it possible for the region to be represented at the Australia New Zealand Agent (ANZA) Workshop on 13 – 15 April 2016.  

  Minister Joyce’s visit to Taranaki sends out a strong message that international education in New Zealand’s non-metro regions is high on the agenda.

  The government has committed an additional $2 million in 2016/17 to ENZ’s RPP for supporting growth initiatives in the regions. The additional funding is to build on the successes in 2015, with 11 out of 14 regions experiencing an increase in international student numbers.

  The RPP will support the implementation of growth projects involving our regions outside of the metro centres. As announced previously in E-News, three new Regional Project Managers join our Business Development Managers in supporting regional growth initiatives: Sahinde Pala, based in Auckland with a focus on the regions north of Taupo; Jo Keane, based in Wellington and supporting our central regions from Taranaki to Nelson Marlborough; and Sarah Gauthier who will manage a range of pan-regional projects including New Zealand’s regional presence at ANZA, the development of an online regional resource and an agent familariisation programme.

• Around the world in five: News round-up
  1. Global: If 2015 was the year of pathways and industry consolidation, The Pie News predicts that 2016 will see our industry dominated by the price of oil, an overhaul of English language products, instant message marketing, the refugee crisis, government changes in both source and destination countries, and innovation in student services.  
  2. Saudi Arabia: Newly appointed Education Minister Ahmed Al-Issa spoke to Arab News about his priorities for the education system and changes to the outbound scholarship scheme. An announcement on scholarship allocations is expected soon.

Meanwhile, approvals for pathway programmes to Western universities are being curtailed according to Times Higher Education.  
  4. United States: ICEF Monitor reports on recent surveys which compared the perceptions between U.S. students and admission officers as to which communications channels are the most effective for reaching and engaging prospective students. The results may surprise.
