English language-only providers to submit enrolment data
In 2015, the Government introduced a new mandatory electronic data collection system for UIPs. Those providing only English language courses were temporarily exempt from this data collection requirement, as they often provide informal language courses, some of which are very short.
The temporary exemption gave government agencies and the English-language sector time to discuss an appropriate data set for these unfunded providers.
Last year, following independently facilitated workshops held between English New Zealand, English-language providers and government agencies, it was proposed that English-language providers would submit a shorter set of data that reflected the nature of most of their provision.

The scholarship is open to all qualifying international students, in celebration of ENZ reaching one million followers across all of its Study in New Zealand (SiNZ) social media platforms.
Students have until 5pm 20 July 2017 to enter. All they have to do is visit the SiNZ Facebook page and post a comment on the scholarship post saying what, where and why they want to study in New Zealand.
Entries in all languages are accepted, so if a student feels more confident submitting an entry in local language, please encourage them to do so.
Olivia Silverwood, ENZ’s International Social Communities Manager, is pleased that the majority of entries are of very high quality.
“The students tend to be most interested in postgraduate and Masters-level study, with good representation across all of our markets.
“It’s been great to see that students are focussing less on the touristy side of New Zealand and more on its education rankings – this shows our organisation’s collective marketing and PR efforts are working!”
Here are some of the entries so far:

US series studies Massey education
Four half-hour TV segments and YouTube clips profile Massey’s education and research expertise in food safety, New Zealand society, aviation and veterinary medicine.
Filming took place at the Manawatu campus in early July, and will be broadcast on America’s East Coast in August.
US host, educational consultant and author Steven Roy Goodman has visited countries all around the world, portraying different aspects of the university sector. However, this is his first time filming in the Southern Hemisphere. The series has screened 123 episodes to date.
“It’s an educational show where I aim to bring the ideas and news of universities around the world to the general public in the best way I can,” said Steven.

Steven singled out the veterinary medicine discussion as one that would be of particular interest to students from the United States because of the Massey Veterinary School’s American Veterinary and Medical Association (AVMA) accreditation.
Steven was also fascinated by the discussion on New Zealand society and Massey’s new BA degree with the head of the School of Māori Art, Knowledge and Education (Te Pūtahi-a-Toi) Professor Meihana Durie, and Pro Vice-Chancellor of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley.

“For me the discussion on New Zealand society was particularly eye-opening and not at all what I originally envisioned – I don’t think people in the US know a great deal about New Zealand society, but I think they will be introduced to it now,” said Steven.
Project leader and International Development Manager for Massey, Bruce Graham, says the project will help promote Massey’s research, Study Abroad opportunities and specialist degree programmes in the US.
“This will also add to the growing reputation of New Zealand’s wider university sector, and the capability and expertise of these institutions.”
The TV episodes can be found on YouTube, and will also be included in Massey’s webpages and social media sites. You can view them below:

New Zealand teaching showcased in Thailand
The teachers came from 60 provinces across Thailand to attend the four-day event, along with Chortip Pramoolpol, ENZ Marketing and Strategic Relations Manager – Thailand, and Karen Rutherford, Head of School of AUT International House.
The event provided teachers with new guidelines and teaching techniques to ensure their students get the most from their classes.
AUT conducted a training session showcasing the New Zealand teaching style, which Chortip said received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Karen Rutherford speaks with Thai teachers.

“Teachers commented on how practical and hands-on it was."
"It helped tighten the education collaboration between New Zealand and Thailand and provided a great platform to raise awareness of us to the teachers and participating government agencies.”
AUT will also select and sponsor one teacher to receive one month of complimentary English language training.
The event was organised by Brand Suntory (Thailand) Co., Ltd in partnership with the Office of Basic Education Commission, Ministry of Education and Kasetsart University.
The Brand’s Tutor Summer Camp ran from 29 June to 1 August 2017.
Chinese students gather for Youth summit
The summit was arranged by Global Engagement Institute and hosted at the University of Auckland Business School. The three-day summit was followed by a week of special topic days on leadership.
Fifteen New Zealand students from Auckland, Tauranga and Christchurch joined the 34 Chinese students to learn about leadership opportunities in a global context, based on cultural understanding, respect, trust and diplomacy.
Representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Asia New Zealand Foundation, the University of Auckland and Fonterra, amongst others, gave presentations providing insights and advice to guide the students in the future. Students also participated in a speech competition, with the top three Chinese students winning scholarships to study English at Languages International in Auckland.
Greg Scott, ENZ General Manager, Industry Development said the summit was a great initiative to support future leaders from both New Zealand and China.
“It provided a valuable platform for students from China and New Zealand to share their perspectives and culture.
“From day one, these young people demonstrated what is required to be future global citizens.”
The students were joined by Lin Lin Zhai, a representative from the Qingdao Education Bureau, who announced that the 2018 summit would be held in Qingdao, providing Kiwi students the opportunity to travel to China.
The summit is then expected to return to New Zealand in 2019.
ENZ was the premier sponsor of the event, alongside additional sponsors including the Asia New Zealand Foundation and New Zealand China Council.
Meet Up at NZIEC
Meet Up sessions are informal opportunities to connect with delegates during the networking breaks on particular issues or topics.
How do they work? Simply suggest a topic or topics you’d like to discuss. We’ll collate the responses and coordinate the Meet Up topics and times. It will be over to you to strike up the connections and the conversations.
If you have a burning topic you’d like to talk to others about, let us know. Perhaps it’s homestay management, using technology in back of house operations or you’re in a sole charge position and want to connect with colleagues in a similar situation.

Whatever the topic, just let us know and we’ll do our best to include it.
We’ll publish a list of Meet Up sessions through the Conference App when it is launched next week.
Email your Meet Up topic suggestions to nziec@verve.co.nz
Please note: Registration closes on Friday 11 August. If you have not yet registered for NZIEC, please secure your place as soon as possible by visiting the NZIEC website.
Five steps to studying in New Zealand
Lucia Alarcon, ENZ International Digital Project Manager, says the tool was developed to better support prospective international students, who often find it hard to know where to begin.
“Choosing to study abroad is a big decision, so we want to make it easier for students to start the process by breaking the study abroad journey into five easy steps.
“Research tells us that breaking down a decision into steps makes people more likely to start the process. User testing has shown our 5 Steps guide is a compelling way to encourage students to get started on their New Zealand study adventure.”
Using appealing graphics and simple language, the five steps cover study options, budgeting, applying for a course, applying for a visa and departure.
Each step guides students to relevant content on the SiNZ website, leading them to a wider range of pages. It also directs students to content added to SiNZ in recent months, such as the Cost of Living and Explore NZ pages.
ENZ event activities for 2018
There are two key student recruitment seasons. Depending on the market, these are March/April and September/October.
Confirmed events and dates will be published on the ENZ event calendar on 31 October. Event registration will open shortly after for events taking place during the first six months of 2018.
Please note: This is an overview and is subject to change. As such, it should only be used to help with high-level planning.

Tai Tokerau Northland welcomes new strategy
Tertiary Education Minister Paul Goldsmith launched the strategy alongside some 90 Northland representatives as well as students from Whangarei’s Chinese sister city of Haikou.
The 10-year strategy aim is to create a sense of belonging and wellbeing for Northland’s international students, while outlining specific and sustainable growth targets. This includes boosting international secondary student numbers to 400, primary and intermediate school enrolments to 200 and tripling the economic value of international education to the region to $30 million.
Greg Scott, ENZ General Manager, Industry Development, said the strategy emphasises the region’s unique value proposition for students.
“As the Minister said, many international students value the opportunity to experience tikanga Māori and te reo in an authentic setting. Northland delivers a uniquely New Zealand experience.”
Northland has now joined ENZ’s Regional Partnership Programme, which will help to further the potential of the strategy via partnerships with Northland Inc., Northland communities and education providers.
Northland Inc Chief Executive Officer David Wilson said international education offers many cultural, social and economic opportunities for the region.
“International education is not only an export earner for Northland – it is also a way for our youth to gain exposure to different cultures, connections and opportunities,” said David.
The Tai Tokerau Northland International Education Strategy is available here.
