NZIEC in review
“Attendees welcomed the inclusion of market specific presentations from our offshore staff,” says Clive Jones, General Manager Business Development.
“Think New in Action is all about matching the strengths of our education system with the needs of students looking for an international study destination. To do this effectively we have to understand our key markets and how students make their education choices.”
Conference feedback shows that people highly valued the presentations by the two keynote speakers, Frances Valintine from the Mind Lab and Jeff Lehman from NYU Shanghai.
Frances challenged the audience with her look into the future of education from the perspective of the upcoming generation of global digital citizens – generating a buzz of discussion over lunch and many references back to her presentation in the afternoon sessions.
Jeff shared his first-hand knowledge of establishing international partnerships in China which seemed to resonate with the audience.
“A particular pleasure was NYU Shanghai Vice Chancellor Jeff Lehman’s presentation. The China team had identified Jeff as a speaker, and it was rewarding to see industry colleagues respond so positively to his insightful presentation on the “four waves” involved in China relationships – and to hear the chuckles as people recognised their own experiences of working in China,” says Alex Grace, Regional Director Greater China.
All of our international staff presenting at the conference agree that the opportunity to talk to so many people from across the industry was one of the major benefits of the conference.
Fiona Haiko from our Japan office says: “It was a great chance to hear from different institutions about their aspirations for Japan and to get a feel for how the New Zealand industry perceives the Japanese market.”
The benefits of getting more than four hundred industry participants together in one place also has a positive effect on our own people.
“Coming back to New Zealand is always great – even in winter. It is sort of a reality check for the job you keep doing over the year from far away,” says Ute Haug, our Senior Market Development Manager in Berlin.
“It is most important for me to come to New Zealand, to get a direct feel of the country, link back to headquarters and take new impressions back to Berlin.”
Back in Riyadh, John Laxon describes the conference as “a great platform for getting organisations interested in the Middle East region and considering new ideas and initiatives” and adds that the industry seems to be on a roll after some hard work over the last couple of years.
Thanks must go out to all the industry presenters who generously shared their professional knowledge and experience in workshops and sessions.
“The strategic roadmaps development process has showed us that increased collaboration and cooperation is key to growth across all sectors and around the country.”
“I am looking forward to the next year as the industry steps into the driver’s seat and begins to put some of the strategic choices and actions into operation,” says Clive.

The New Zealand International Education Conference is scheduled to be held again in August 2015.

New Zealand headlines Saudi Arabian vocational conference
The Saudi Technical Conference and Exhibition on 14-15 December in Riyadh was organised by the government’s Technical and Vocational Training Corporation and focused on the skills and training solutions required to support the country’s 2030 Vision.
Saudi Arabia’s 2030 Vision aims to raise the percentage of vocationally qualified Saudis, and to increase the connections and alignment between their school and vocational education systems.
Dr Ede opened the final day of the conference with a presentation on Jobs of the Future: Increasing Job Opportunities & Productivity. The presentation explored how technology is disrupting employment and skills ecosystems, and showcased where New Zealand is meeting these challenges through world-leading education solutions such as The Mind Lab and Tech Futures Lab.
John Laxon, ENZ’s Regional Director for South/South East Asia & the Middle East, said New Zealand is now well placed to stand out in the market for this education industry.
“The conference provided an invaluable opportunity to showcase New Zealand’s expertise, at a time when Saudi Arabia is reforming its education system and looking for international partners” said John.
Dr. Rick Ede presenting to the Conference on 'Jobs of the Future'“We’re grateful to Rick and the Corporation for making the most of this opportunity. New Zealand’s successful integration of TVET and higher education means that we’re uniquely placed to support the Saudi Government in their vocational reform initiatives.”
The conference was the first to be held under the sponsorship of the Minister of Education, signalling a shift in oversight for Saudi’s vocational education system from the Ministry of Labour.
Further partnership opportunities between Saudi and international operators were also signaled during the conference.

English New Zealand 2017 Conference success
Held in Auckland, “The Future Face of ELT in New Zealand” featured presentations on all aspects of best practice in the ELT environment: the academic and teaching context, assessment, marketing, management and pastoral care.
Sahinde Pala, ENZ’s Business Development Manager, said the event had something insightful for everyone across the sector.
“The programme was well designed to cater to the various English language professionals who attended, and the line-up of presenters was impressive,” said Sahinde.
“It was particularly motivational to hear ACG’s Marnie Watson endorse collaborative marketing to ensure the profile of New Zealand’s quality reputation is raised even further.”
Also joining the conference was an English New Zealand famil group of study abroad agency representatives from Spain, Italy and France.
Kim Renner, English New Zealand’s Executive Director said as well as visiting member schools around New Zealand, the representatives appreciated the chance to network and give a market presentation to conference delegates.
“Visiting New Zealand in person to see what we offer is invaluable to them,” said Kim.
“They provided insights around the use of social media and not underestimating the important role study abroad agencies play in assisting students with their study abroad choices and planning.”
The conference was organised by English New Zealand, with the support of ENZ, Cambridge Assessment English and the Auckland Institute of Studies.
Before the conference, English New Zealand hosted the QALEN Symposium, a forum for representatives of ELT global quality assurance bodies, some of whom stayed on to participate in the conference.

Massey launches pre-degree pathway in Viet Nam
This is Massey University’s first pre-degree collaboration with a high school in Viet Nam. It will provide students at Nguyen Sieu School, as well as other schools in Hanoi, with the opportunity to begin a foundation pathway in Viet Nam that they can complete in New Zealand, before transitioning directly into degree study at Massey.
Andrea Flavel, Director of PaCE, said the programme equips students with critical skills needed for their futures and exposes them to the different learning style and culture of New Zealand.
“This programme is an example of the way PaCE works collaboratively with institutions around the world to create customised learning experiences that set students up for future academic success, and give them the opportunity to experience the best Massey has to offer.”
PaCE also presented Nguyen Sieu School with a special scholarship worth NZ$20,000 to support students to participate in the pathway programme.
The new Vietnamese Ambassador to New Zealand, His Excellency Ta Van Thong, and New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam, Wendy Matthews, attended the launch, which received nationwide news coverage in Viet Nam.
The first cohort of students will begin study in Viet Nam in July 2018, transitioning to study in New Zealand in February 2019.

New ECA signed with US institution
Increased opportunities for students and researchers from diverse backgrounds to study and carry out research in New Zealand, and more international opportunities for Māori will result from the new agreement between the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation-National Science Foundation International Center of Excellence (LSAMP-NICE) and Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ).
Attendees outside the Embassy of New Zealand in Washington DC, where the meeting was held
The Embassy of New Zealand in Washington DC was the venue for the annual general meeting and conference of LSAMP-NICE on 29-30 September 2022. Representatives of 60 LSAMP institutions across the US attended, as well as international partners including the University of Toulouse, the French Embassy, a Te Kāhui Amokura delegation, and ENZ. The role of Te Kāhui Amokura is to advance and promote the collective interests of New Zealand’s universities to improve outcomes for Māori, and the delegation comprised:
- Rawinia Higgins, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Māori, at Victoria University of Wellington (VUW)
- Meegan Hall, Assistant Vice-Chancellor Mātauranga Māori, VUW
- Fiona Johnson-Bell, Senior Manager, Education and Māori, Universities New Zealand
- Tim Manukau, Mātauranga Co-Director, University of Waikato Environmental Research Institute
- Megan Ranapia, PhD student, University of Waikato
- Kirita-Rose Escott, PhD student, VUW.
ENZ Manukura Chief Advisor Māori, Ed Tuari, welcomed attendees with a mihi whakatau, and Lance Fisher (Northern Cheyenne) responded with a traditional Northern Cheyenne song. The meeting ended with the signing of the new agreement by Steve Dupuis, LSAMP-NICE Project Principal Investigator, Salish Kootenai College, and Ed Tuari on behalf of ENZ.
Ed Tuari and Steve Dupuis signed the education cooperation arrangement
“We are working to build people’s understanding of New Zealand as a country with a unique bicultural heritage and strong social justice values,” DuBois Jennings, ENZ’s Director of Engagement, North America said.
“The new agreement reflects that New Zealand is an ideal education destination for students from historically marginalised backgrounds, and it opens up exchange possibilities for Māori and Pasifika students from New Zealand to experience education on US campuses.
“We have been developing these relationships over several years, including at NAFSA earlier this year. Future possibilities include agreements between LSAMP-NICE and individual New Zealand providers.”
In late 2021 the National Science Foundation, Te Kāhui Amokura and ENZ worked together on a series of virtual information exchange sessions, which covered indigenous language research, indigenous data sovereignty, and the impacts of climate change on indigenous communities. More than 150 experts took part, including Native American, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, and Māori scholars.
LSAMP-NICE is funded by the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) programme, an alliance-based programme which aims to diversify the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) workforce in the US by increasing the number of STEM degrees awarded to historically underrepresented populations, specifically African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. Salish Kootenai College, a Tribal College based in Montana serving the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, is LSAMP’s lead institution.
