  • PTE English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) Provision Fund

    The $1.5 million fund is designed to help English language schools impacted by the border closure to international students.

    The PTE ESOL Fund is part of the first workstream, which seeks to stabilise the sector while borders remain closed. Read more about the Recovery Plan.

    The funding aims to help increase demand for English language training, to be met by English Language Schools. It will also help with upskilling and improving the employability of New Zealanders with English language needs, including migrant partners and dependents of New Zealanders.

    The fund is being implemented by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC).

  • An update from the ENZ Global Citizens team

    Introducing our Global Citizens Manager, Carla Rey Vasquez

    Carla joined ENZ in the new role of Global Citizens Manager, based in Wellington, in April. As part of her role with ENZ, she is leading the co-creation and implementation of the Global Citizenship strategy as a key enabler for international education.

    Prior to joining ENZ, Carla was actively engaged in cross-sector collaboration in her role at AFS, including educational institutions, experts, funders, peak bodies, and student groups – and had a focus on embedding and improving student experience and global citizenship outcomes across the AFS network for 12,000 students in over 60 organizations worldwide.

    ENZ's Global Citizenship team includes Senior Global Citizens Advisor Anna Dekker in a refocused role of Scholarships and Global Citizenship, and Global Citizens Advisor Tereska Thornton, who has a wide range experience across ENZ in various roles, including Acting International Market Manager for Korea and Japan.

    Over the past five months, the team have made some great strides in establishing the global citizens strategy for NZ, and some highlights from their work includes:

    Global Citizenship korero

    Two huis have already been held this year with educators, researchers, practitioners, change-makers and other supporters working on initiatives that promote global citizenship, and the related areas of global competence, intercultural learning, and intercultural competence. 

    The goals of the workshops were to: 

    • Map out the key players and activities within the Global Citizenship education field in Aotearoa New Zealand
    • Build a comprehensive understanding of the way in which organisations discuss and measure Global Citizenship, and values and frameworks unique to Aotearoa New Zealand.

    We are looking forward to our third session on 21 September. This session will be virtual due to current Alert Level restrictions but we hope to have another in-person hui before the end of the year.

    Please email Carla (carla.reyvasquez@enz.govt.nz) if you wish to be involved.

    Online connector event for Prime Minister’s Scholarship alumni

    We are planning our first ever online connector event for Prime Minister’s Scholarship alumni in November 2021.

    Building on the momentum of the recent Prime Minister’s Scholarship impact survey, the event will be run by alumni, for alumni and will focus on fostering connections within the alumni community as a basis for further activity. More details to be announced in the next E-News update so watch this space.

    Prime Minister’s Scholarship Programme

    The team has made the best use of the COVID-19 travel restrictions and lockdowns to undertake a Prime Minister’s scholarships improvement programme to increase access to the scholarship and streamline processes, ready for when travel is possible.

    Festival for the Future

    We attended the Festival for the Future from 31 July-2 August and were overwhelmed by the number of participants who were willing to take part in our survey on Global Citizenship.  The analysis of responses is going a long way to helping ENZ commence on developing a framework and set of definitions on global citizenship.

    We are currently working with Inspiring Stories to plan ENZ’s involvement in Festival for the Future 2022, so keep an eye out for further information.

    Global citizenship is a key focus for ENZ, as ‘Global Citizens’ is one of three goals in The New Zealand Government’s International Education Strategy 2018 – 2030 (NZIES). Ultimately, we are working towards a future where:

    • All students gain the knowledge, skills and capabilities they need to live, work and learn globally
    • International education provides stronger global connections, research links and partnerships for New Zealand
    • New Zealanders understand and embrace the benefits of international education

    We will make sure to keep you updated of the work in this space.

  • Apply on Behalf explained

    The service, which goes live early next week, will allow third parties to lodge visa applications on behalf of students.

    Different versions of the flyer have been produced for education agents applying offshore, and for education providers.

    Education agents are legally allowed to provide immigration advice to offshore student visa applicants only. Education providers can help students complete and upload the forms online, but they are not allowed to provide immigration advice.

    To use Apply on Behalf, education agents and providers need to create their own Immigration ONLINE account on the Immigration New Zealand website.

    The account shows a summary list of applications and PDF versions of application forms and supporting documents that third parties submit to Immigration ONLINE on behalf of students.

    A third version of the information flyer, for students, updates the one produced when online applications became available for students last August.

    Later this year, eVisas – passport-free and label-less visas – will be available to students from visa-waiver countries (these are countries whose citizens do not need a visa to travel to New Zealand).

    Also later in 2015, education providers will be able to view their students’ visa status through Immigration New Zealand’s VisaView service.

  • All Covid-19 requirements removed

    Changes that take effect from Tuesday 15 August 2023

    • Confirmed Covid-19 cases will no longer be legally required to self-isolate
    • Masks will no longer be mandatory in any locations

    This means that tertiary education providers can operate as normal, and set their own policies and procedures to ensure they meet their obligations to staff and learners, including under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021.

    Advice for tertiary providers and students

    The Ministry of Education recommends that tertiary education providers follow COVID-19 health advice, and support staff and learners to do so.

    Full COVID-19 health advice can be found at: Unite against COVID-19.

    The Ministry of Education will also be updating advice for tertiary providers and students on the Te Mahau COVID-19 website following this announcement.

    The latest health advice on COVID-19 includes:

    • Stay at home if you are feeling unwell - if you, or someone in your household develops one or more of the following symptoms, you should take a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) for COVID-19: a runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, loss of smell or taste, shortness of breath.
    • If you have tested positive for COVID-19, it is recommended you isolate for 5 days, even if you only have mild symptoms, starting at Day 0, which is the day your symptoms started or when you tested positive, whichever came first.
    • If you do need to leave your home during your 5-day isolation period, it is very important you take precautions to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others. You should wear a mask whenever you leave the house. You should not visit a healthcare facility (except to access medical care), an aged residential care facility, or have contact with anyone at risk of getting seriously unwell with COVID-19.
    • If you are in isolation at the time of the setting change announcement, we recommend you continue isolating until you have completed 5 days. If you have already been isolating for 6 or 7 days, and are well, you can return to your normal activities.
    • After completing 5 days isolation –
      • If your symptoms have resolved and you feel well, you can return to your normal activities.
      • If you still feel unwell, we recommend you stay home until you have recovered.
      • We recommend you wear a mask if you need to visit a healthcare facility or an aged residential care facility, or you have contact with anyone at risk of getting seriously unwell with COVID-19 up until 10 days after your symptoms started or you tested positive. This is because some people are infectious for up to 10 days.

    Mask wearing remains an important way we can prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses

    Free masks are available for pick up with free rapid antigen tests (RATs) from participating collection sites. 

    RATs will remain free for everyone throughout 2023

    You can find out participating pick-up points for RATs and masks at COVID-19 Testing • Healthpoint or by calling 0800 222 478 and choosing option 1.

  • Are you making the most of IntelliLab?

    ENZ’s Intelligence Manager Andrew McPhee encourages all New Zealand education providers working in international education to make the most of this resource.

    “International education professionals want to be as informed as possible before making important decisions – IntelliLab should be your go-to source,” he says.

    IntelliLab is free, easy to access and provides the latest information on student numbers and trends, market information, industry valuations, research, and insights on developments such as the recent downturn in new Chinese students, to help industry make informed decisions.

    “It also includes exclusive content – while the summary dashboards and most infographics are available for anyone to download, the reports and insights are only available to registered New Zealand government officials and international education providers.

    “The interactive numbers tools in particular are popular with users, such as TED (The Enrolments Data), as it enables providers to analyse student numbers over the past five years by their key markets, sectors, and region,” Andrew says.

    Christchurch NZ Programme Manager Bree Loverich says the data from IntelliLab is a key source of support for the work she does at a regional level.

    “We are increasingly asked to provide data insights at a moments’ notice for various stakeholders and to support business cases for our student visitor activities, major events, talent attraction and retention.

    “The support and quality of data provided by ENZ’s intelligence team is outstanding. They have always provided quality insights and analysis to support our efforts to make informed decisions and projects that benefit industry and the student body.

    “They have also made it possible for me to articulate the value of the industry to key influencers in the region. It’s a service that the region has come to trust and we could not be successful without it.”

    Recently added publications include:

    • Monthly visa summaries and the interactive visa tool updates
    • New Zealand Education system at a glance (OECD and MOE updates)
    • Regional student number data cubes
    • Economist Intelligence Unit country, region, and city reports
    • 2018 Student numbers interactive tool

    • Regional infographics
    • Sector factsheets
    • Market factsheets

  • Consultation on ENZRA and ENZ’s agent work

    Clive Jones, General Manager Business Development, ENZ says the 2015 review of ENZRA undertaken by external consultants found significant shortcomings in the ENZRA programme. 

    “Education agents continue to make a significant contribution to the success of international education in New Zealand, and the ENZRA review also recommended ways for ENZ to better support education providers and education agents to be successful.  We have been exploring all recommendations throughout our consultations.”

    As part of our consultation, ENZ now invites organisations active in New Zealand’s education industry to complete a 10-15 minute survey by Thursday 30 June 2016.

    “The survey results will help us identify the products and services we should be offering education agents and education providers to best support the recruitment of quality international students for New Zealand,” says Clive.

    Depending on what ENZ hears through consultations, and the amount of analysis and development needed, it’s likely ENZ will announce the next steps in its work regarding agents later this this year.  

    Please complete this survey by Thursday 5pm New Zealand time 30 June 2016.

  • 10,000 milestone marks new heights

    “Our story has more impact when we tell it together,” says Kathryn McCarrison, Education New Zealand’s General Manager of Marketing and Channel Development. “That there are now more than 10,000 pieces of our material in circulation internationally is a great sign for the developing strength of New Zealand’s education brand.”
     
    An online toolkit of marketing materials, known as The Brand Lab, was launched in November 2013 to make tools to promote New Zealand education more readily available. “I’d like to thank the New Zealand education providers, agents and New Zealand officials offshore who’ve so quickly used these resources to complement their marketing efforts,” says Kathryn.
     
    “While our brand awareness is increasing, especially in China and India, we still have a long way to go in comparison to our better known competitors, so please keep telling your friends and contacts about what’s available to help their recruitment and sales efforts.”
     
    “The sharper we look together, the greater the impact we’ll all have when introducing New Zealand to prospective students and their parents.
     
    “We’re also fortunate to have a large pool of resources to draw on,” says Kathryn. “As well as The Brand Lab, the New Zealand Story and Tourism New Zealand’s media resources can all be used to promote New Zealand abroad, paving the way for people to introduce their product, service or school in more detail.”
     
    The Brand Lab is home to over 1,000 education-related assets ranging from royalty-free photos to a brochure series about New Zealand education available in nine different languages. More than 1,500 people from 60 nations around the world have downloaded digital assets so far, with the most frequent users being New Zealand institutions, international agents and Education New Zealand offshore staff.
     
    It’s free to use and download materials, following a simple request process to ensure brand guidelines are understood.
     
    The most popular downloads so far include the New Zealand Education Story video, the Think New education brochures, a directory of Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority’s multilingual student guides.
     
    Kathryn says The Brand Lab will continue to expand and grow. “We recently asked our industry what they needed next so coming up soon are new photos, videos and a digital toolkit to promote studying in New Zealand online.”
