Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Books
New Zealand’s Guest of Honour presence at the Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) had a strong education flavour as Education New Zealand staff and six education publishers participated alongside a cast of leading New Zealand authors and other New Zealand publishers.
Education New Zealand contributed $100,000 to New Zealand organiser Publishers Association of New Zealand (PANZ) to support the participation of the Wendy Pye Group, ESA Publications; MJA Publishing; Lanky Hippo Publishing; the New Zealand Council for Educational Research; and Clean Slate Press at TIBE held over 11 – 16 February 2015.
TIBE is the largest book fair in Asia and acts as a gateway to the region. In 2014, TIBE had more than 500,000 visitors, over 1,000 events for visitors or publishers, more than 700 domestic and international reporters and 423 international publishing houses in attendance.
This year TIBE brought in free entry for school-aged children, which was expected to boost visitor numbers as well as providing an expanded audience for Education New Zealand’s “Study in New Zealand” messaging.
New Zealand’s Guest of Honour status ensured that we received prime positioning within the fair venue as well as enhanced interest and attention from media; Taiwan authorities; and industry representatives seeking to buy rights.
A wide-ranging programme included strong publisher presence, public presentations, kapa haka performances, carving by the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Council/Ngā Kete Tuku Iho, a visiting author programme, and offsite events including an art exhibition. The eye-catching New Zealand Pavilion – in a design of three Māori tokotoko (orator’s sticks) – exemplified New Zealand’s “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Books” theme.
“Education New Zealand has previously supported our education publishers’ attendance at such key international trade events, as it gives them the opportunity to explore new markets and opportunities in a dedicated business setting”, said ENZ’s Business Development Manager, Adele Bryant.
“Dame Wendy Pye was busy at her stand following up leads she attributed to attendance at Frankfurt 2012 where New Zealand was also Guest of Honour and ENZ supported education publishers.”
Above: Dame Wendy Pye and a young Taiwanese student demonstrating one of Wendy’s education tools.
While the delegation of education publishers represented a mix of experienced and new exporters, all were united in having high-quality products that represented New Zealand's reputation for innovation and quality education.
“ENZ support for TIBE and earlier scoping visits to Hong Kong and Seoul has helped profile our strengths in education publishing to Asian publishers. The New Zealand delegation has been able to understand how their product can better fit the market as well as meet new business leads”, said Adele.
ENZ’s Regional Director – Greater China, Alexandra Grace, also delivered presentations profiling New Zealand as a high-quality education destination that fosters innovation and creativity in its students.
“It was inspiring to deliver these presentations as part of New Zealand’s Guest of Honour programme”, said Alex.
“Being part of a programme that included such creative and talented New Zealanders as Eleanor Catton, Witi Ihimaera, and Joy Cowley – not to mention our education publishers, who are seeking to inspire, delight, and educate children around the world with their innovative learning tools – was a real buzz. Their presence complemented perfectly the message I was seeking to make about New Zealand as a place where ideas and talent are nurtured and developed.”
“I was also able to point to Eleanor Catton and Witi Ihimaera – both of whom teach at Manukau Institute of Technology – as being event-appropriate examples of how New Zealand delivers applied education in a way that is closely linked to industry.”
Education New Zealand will continue to work with TIBE participants and other education publishers to assist them in finding opportunities to promote their products, skills and expertise offshore; as well as working to promote New Zealand as an education destination of choice to students from Taiwan.

From the Acting Chief Executive: Building global connections
Tēnā koutou katoa
Earlier this week the Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, His Excellency Phạm Minh Chính, made an official visit to New Zealand accompanied by a large delegation. Joining him was their Minister of Education and Training, Nguyen Kim Son. The visit was a timely opportunity to highlight our education cooperation with Viet Nam and to identify areas in which we can grow.
Viet Nam is a multi-sectored market for New Zealand’s international education sector and the fifth largest source country for international students.
I was delighted to witness first-hand the signing of an Education Engagement Arrangement (EEA) between New Zealand and Viet Nam, signed by our Minister for Tertiary Education and Skills, Hon Penny Simmonds, and Viet Nam’s Minister of Education and Training. This arrangement demonstrates to prospective students and their families that New Zealand is a partner of choice for the Vietnamese Government in the field of education, which aligns with the New Zealand Government’s priority to build a more resilient and sustainable sector. You can read more about the EEA and the signing event in this issue of E-News here.
Keeping with the theme of building global connections, last week I was pleased to meet with Ambassador Eduardo Saboia, the Secretary for Asia and Pacific at Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Itamaraty). Brazil is our largest partner in Latin America and prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, New Zealand welcomed over 3,000 Brazilian students. We know that Brazilian students are valued additions to New Zealand classrooms, and that Brazil has been a popular destination for the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Latin America.
Last week we also received formal confirmation that Hon Penny Simmonds, Minister for Tertiary Education and Skills, will be the Minister responsible for international education and Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.
Minister Simmonds is the Member of Parliament for Invercargill, elected in 2020. Prior to her election, Penny was Chief Executive of the Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) from 1997 to 2020.
The coalition Government has made clear its objective to double the value of exports in 10 years and we now await the Minister’s Letter of Expectations which will set out her detailed expectations for our work.
In closing, positive news to share is that international students are returning to New Zealand. The total number of international student visa holders, in and outside New Zealand is now 45,753 – that is a 171 percent increase since our borders reopened in August 2022 (16,853). The total number of visa holders in March 2024 is 68 percent of those in March 2020 (67,331), when the borders closed. It is heartwarming to see the beaming and excited faces of the new intake of international students joining their schools, universities, Polytech's, English language institutes, and other private training establishments in the gallery of student welcomes that has been compiled here.
After the challenges of recent years, it is a reason to celebrate.
Ngā mihi,
Linda Sissons
Acting Chief Executive

International education drives NZ$4.5 billion economic boost as sector grows with strong public support
New Zealand’s international education sector continues its steady and balanced growth, contributing more than NZ$4.52 billion annually to the economy and enjoying enduring public support for international students.
According to latest Stats NZ data, education-related travel exports climbed to $4.52 billion for the year ended September 2025, up from $3.6 billion in the year ended December 2024. International education now ranks among New Zealand’s top 10 exports and now contributes 13.6% of the country’s total services exports.
From January to August 2025, 83,535 international students enrolled with New Zealand education providers, a 14% increase compared to the same period in 2024, and already surpassing last year’s full-year total.
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) Chief Executive Amanda Malu said the figures confirm New Zealand’s position as a trusted and attractive destination for international learners.
“New Zealand is moving higher up the ladder of top choices of study destinations as students look for quality education in a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment. Our steady growth shows the sector is resilient and competitive as we move at pace to deliver on the International Education Going for Growth Plan,” Malu said.
“We are not chasing numbers at any cost, we are focused on sustainable, balanced growth that benefits our regions, strengthens our economy, and adds value to our communities.”
Quality Tertiary Institutions (QTI) Chair and New Zealand Skills and Education Group Founder, Brijesh Sethi, said he was very pleased to see international student enrolments increase for private training establishments (PTEs) in New Zealand.
“This growth is not only an academic success story but also an economic one.
“International students contribute substantially to local communities and the national economy, reinforcing the international education sector’s role as a cornerstone of New Zealand’s global engagement strategy.
“While there are some concerns regarding the PTE application numbers for 2025, enrolment increases are encouraging,” Sethi said.
Public support remains strong
Alongside growth in international student enrolments, ENZ’s latest 2025 Public Perceptions of International Education Survey shows 77% of New Zealanders want to see the same or more international students in the country up slightly on last year’s 75%.
By comparison, only just over 50% of Australians polled in 2025 support maintaining or increasing international student numbers, and at less than 50% of those in the UK polled in 2023 were in favour of students coming to research or study at UK universities.
Commenting on the survey, Malu said the survey shows international education is a key economic growth driver that also brings diverse perspectives through visiting students.
“It’s absolutely fantastic to see New Zealanders continue to back international students so strongly year after year,” Malu said.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor, University of Waikato, Alister Jones, said they were excited about the increasing number of international students at the university.
“This represents the significant work undertaken by our International and Engagement Office, both onshore and offshore.
“Our international students bring diversity to our Hamilton and Tauranga campuses, as well as having a positive impact on the wider communities and businesses.
“For the students who choose to make New Zealand their home upon completing their studies, it is a really good outcome for New Zealand society as a whole,” Jones said.
Beyond the economic benefits, New Zealanders also continue to appreciate the broad range of cultural and social benefits that international students bring to the country.
81% agree international students contribute to local communities, and 79% say they provide invaluable global connections and research links.
“International education is not just an economic driver, it’s a bridge to the world.
“New Zealanders clearly value the cultural and social benefits international students bring, and that support is vital as we look to the future,” Malu said.
Looking ahead
ENZ’s International Education Going for Growth Plan aims to double the sector’s export value to NZ$7.2 billion by 2034, while maintaining public support for international education.
“International education is a key contributor to the Government’s Going for Growth Plan to grow the New Zealand economy. This growth reflects the sector’s resilience and its critical role in our economic future.”
“Our focus is on sustainable, balanced growth, diversifying markets, strengthening vocational pathways, and ensuring students have a positive experience.
“We want New Zealand to remain among the top choices globally, not just for education quality but for the values we stand for,” Malu said.

Education New Zealand Chief Executive Amanda Malu steps down
Amanda has been appointed Secretary for Children and Chief Executive of Oranga Tamariki – Ministry for Children, starting in early 2026.

“In addition, Amanda has delivered an organisational reset which has helped set ENZ up well for the future.
“We are immensely grateful for Amanda’s leadership and we wish her every success with her new role. In the meantime, business continues as usual and our team worldwide remains focused on delivering the Going for Growth Plan ambitions for New Zealand.”
The ENZ Board has commenced immediate recruitment for a new Chief Executive.
“Between now and her departure date, we will be working with Amanda and the leadership team to ensure a smooth transition,” Tony said.

Have you used Immigration New Zealand’s ‘Apply on Behalf’ service?
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 a RealMe login and also 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.
Immigration New Zealand has produced a set of information flyers to explain how the Apply on Behalf service works. . Different versions of the flyer have been produced for education agents applying offshore, for education providers, and for students. To see a screen-shot video walk-through of Apply on Behalf online, click here.
On another visa-related note, you might like to encourage your contacts to join the one thousand applicants who are applying for visas electronically every week through Immigration ONLINE. From 7 December 2015, expanded eVisa and VisaView services will become available. Follow this link to find out more.

Online applications best for student visas
INZ Sector Relationship Manager (Education), Celia Coombes, says INZ is asking all providers to actively encourage students to make student visa applications through the online application system (or on campus through a Students Online partner provider), rather than via paper applications.
“Immigration Online is faster and cheaper than a paper application and provides students with an eVisa,” says Celia.
“It’s a good idea to get in the habit of encouraging students towards these channels, because in the near future paper applications will be phased out.”
INZ is also asking Auckland-based providers to alert students to a local “drop box” closure at INZ’s Auckland Office (280 Queen Street). The drop box allows students to leave paper visa applications there for transfer to Palmerston North for processing. However, from 31 May 2017 this service will be removed and students will be responsible for sending their application themselves.
Celia says the best option is to apply through the online application channels. However, any students still using the paper form must send this directly to:

INZ replacing physical visa labels with eVisas
INZ’s Assistant General Manager Peter Elms says while eVisas are currently issued to all visa applicants who use online channels, this is now extended to include paper-based applications.
“INZ has been issuing eVisas since 2016, and nearly half of all visas currently issued are label-less. This means education providers should expect to see more eVisas,” says Peter.
“Successful applicants will receive an approval letter with the visa details via email which they should print and keep with their passport. Other than the letter, education providers and employers can verify visa details via INZ’s VisaView online system.
“On the rare occasion that an applicant does not have an email address, arrangements can be made to post the decision letter.”
Peter adds that while there is no need to have a physical visa label in a passport, INZ recognises that some individuals may prefer to have one. A label can be obtained by request by filling in an application form and a fee of $110.
INZ advises that students using Provider Direct (an on-campus system run between the education provider and INZ) will continue to receive labels. INZ will review this over the next year.
