• ENZ showcases New Zealand’s commitment to sustainability in education and UN SDGs in India

  Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) hosted a vibrant Sustainability Carnival on 14 November at the New Zealand High Commission in New Delhi to round off ENZ’s #SustainableTomorrow campaign that was designed to highlight New Zealand’s commitment to SDGs and sustainability in education.

  The event showcased New Zealand university course offerings and officially launched ENZ’s Sustainability Guide, a comprehensive resource profiling course offerings in sustainability at New Zealand universities and the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (NZIST).

  The event saw over 150 attendees, including representatives from five New Zealand universities, three Indian universities, and students, parents, and teachers from New Delhi’s international schools. The Sustainable Tomorrow campaign was launched as a comprehensive digital and social campaign to spotlight sustainability within the educational landscape. Through diverse activities, and partnerships, the campaign highlighted New Zealand's commitment to embedding sustainable practices in education. It reached 82,266 accounts via the New Zealand in India Instagram page, engaged 2,935 accounts and saw 165 profile visitors.

  As part of the campaign, ENZ launched a digital poster design competition for Indian high school students. Centred around the Innovating for a Sustainable Future theme, the competition aimed to raise awareness of key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 7 (Affordable and clean energy), Goal 9 (Industry, innovation, and infrastructure), Goal 12 (Responsible consumption and production), and Goal 13 (Climate action). The winning posters were unveiled and recognised at the Sustainability Carnival, which also featured a series of other exciting activities, including street plays performed by students on the importance of sustainability, as well as a croquet match with the New Zealand High Commissioner to India Patrick Rata.

  ENZ’s Director of Engagement, India and East Asia, Jugnu Roy, said the campaign did well to spotlight New Zealand’s strong credentials in sustainability stewardship to secondary school students, teachers and parents in India.

  “The campaign was a fantastic opportunity to highlight New Zealand universities’ sustainability leadership, particularly their top global ranking for sustainability stewardship in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2024.

  “The launch of the ENZ Sustainability Guide that promoted course offerings related to UN SDGs at New Zealand universities and Te Pūkenga really drove home the message about New Zealand’s commitment to a sustainable future that’s visible through our wide range of sustainability-focused education offerings,” Jugnu said.

• New Zealand strengthens its position as a study abroad destination for Brazilians

  Figures from the 10th annual Brazilian Educational and Language Travel Association (Belta) Seal Survey 2025 show that New Zealand has climbed to the sixth most chosen destination by Brazilians studying abroad – compared to seventh place in 2024. 

  The survey ran from February to April this year and brought together insights from 586 education agencies and 1,780 students from across Brazil to understand trends, behaviours, and preferences in the international education sector. 

  

  At the survey launch in May, ENZ Market Development Manager, Bruna de Natale, discussed the country’s growing relevance as a study destination for Brazilian students.

  Speaking at the survey launch event in May, ENZ Market Development Manager, Bruna de Natale said "The data shows that New Zealand has not only maintained its appeal but has also strengthened its position on the radar of Brazilian students, especially amid uncertainties in other markets."  

  Dive into the data  

  Language courses remain the most sought-after programs, accounting for 91% of preferences among the agencies surveyed.  

  Why Brazilian students are choosing New Zealand 

  According to the data, the main factors driving the choice of New Zealand as a destination are: 

  • High quality of life and safety 

  • Academic excellence with a focus on innovation 

  • Ease of obtaining a student visa 

  • Permission to work while studying 

  • Economically and socially stable environment 

  In addition, the growing demand for enriching cultural experiences, closer contact with nature, and the opportunity to develop socio-emotional skills has placed New Zealand in the spotlight — particularly among students who value a comprehensive education. 

  Additional insights from New Zealand-focused questions 

  A complementary survey, also conducted between February and April 2025 with 586 education agencies and 1,780 students across Brazil, highlighted specific factors influencing the decision to study in New Zealand. 

  The survey revealed that 75% of respondents who showed interest in New Zealand also considered it one of their top study destinations — ahead of countries like the United Kingdom and Canada. Students associate New Zealand with high-quality education, a good international reputation for its institutions, and globally recognised qualifications. 

  Additionally, New Zealand stands out for offering work opportunities during and after studies, socio-emotional skill development, and access to nature and outdoor activities — these factors align with current student preferences for holistic and life-enriching study abroad experiences.

• Learn more about global edtech opportunities

  Are you interested in making connections or forming partnerships with education publishers, game developers, ICT companies and educationalists?

  Do you want to showcase your edtech tool and learn about how and why teachers and their students are using technology in the classroom?

  If the answer is yes, then register now for the Education Technology Summit on 5-6 July at Massey University’s innovation hub in Albany, Auckland. 

  For those of you from edtech companies outside of Auckland we have 20 heavily discounted tickets to give away. The money you save will get you to Auckland!

  Just tell us how much you think educational exports ($ million) contribute to GDP by 31 May.  The closest answers will get you a ticket to the two day summit for just $100 – a prize valued at $295. Send your answer to adele.bryant@enz.govt.nz.

  Following feedback from previous annual Edtech for Export (et4e) conferences, this year ENZ is supporting the New Zealand Technology Industry Association in bringing educators and edtech businesses together at the same event.

  This year’s more collaborative approach – bringing creators and users together – will provide a platform for the growth and development of sustainable and relevant edtech tools for the domestic and export markets.

  The Education Technology Summit programme offers separate Edtech for Export and Tech and Pedagogy streams, and plenty of opportunity for interaction between the two. 

  The programme includes export capability building sessions as well as the chance to hear from local and international speakers on global edtech trends and tips for exporting.

  Presenters include:

  • Betsy Corcoran, CEO of EdSurge, an award-winning US news and information source on edtech, will speak on “Mind sets and the future of educational technology”. 

  • Dan Milward of Gamefroot, a provider of online game creation software that teaches programming code in a fun and interactive way

  • Graeme Cosslett, CEO of the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER)    

  And, if you’re still wondering whether or not to make the Summit a ‘must attend’ event in your calendar, here’s a success story that had its beginnings in the et4e conference in 2013: 

  Gamefroot and NZCER are a great example of the power of deep collaboration between educational researchers and game makers.  Gamefroot’s Dan Milward and Rachel Bolstad of NZCER worked in the same Wellington building but did not realise they shared a common interest in educational games until they met at et4e 2013.  Since then, they have worked together to develop and launch a unique online game for teachers and policy makers called Curriculum for the Future: the Digital Game. 

  If you have any queries about the Education Technology Summit, contact Business Development Manager, Adele Bryant at adele.bryant@enz.govt.nz.

  Otherwise, see you in Auckland in July!   

• Symposium on offshore delivery, Wellington, Thursday 9 June

  Do you deliver education products and services offshore? Are you considering venturing in to this aspect of international education and want to know more? Then come along to a one-day symposium in Wellington on Thursday 9 June to explore the opportunities, challenges and value offshore delivery presents.

  Jointly hosted by Education New Zealand and Victoria University of Wellington, the symposium will be an opportunity to learn from local and international presenters about their experiences, and engage and share with colleagues in this specialised field. The programme will cover critical success factors, sustainable and collaborative models, quality assurance, explore markets and partners, and consider an online future.

  Offshore delivery is a broad church, and includes the delivery of education through offshore campuses or partners, or via online courses.

  Global opportunities for offshore education delivery abound, and a good number of New Zealand institutions and businesses are committed to developing their offshore ventures, especially in markets and niches where New Zealand is well-regarded. 

  In spite of this, it is estimated that only 3 percent of international students enrolled at New Zealand institutions are offshore, compared to 30 percent for Australia and over 50 percent for the UK.

  If you are interested in coming along to the symposium please contact Business Development Manager Adele Bryant for a programme and registration details at: adele.bryant@enz.govt.nz or phone (04) 830 0810. 

• New student registration at Chinese embassy

  In order for a New Zealand qualification to be recognised in China, students previously requested a “Certificate for the Returned Overseas Students or Scholars” from either the education section of Chinese Embassy or Chinese Consulates in Auckland or Christchurch.

  However, from 1 July, students are required to register online with the education section of the Chinese Embassy when they arrive in New Zealand in order to receive their certificate when they complete their qualification. The registration system also allows students in New Zealand to share their contact details with the Embassy in case of an emergency. 

  The education section of the Chinese Embassy has asked Education New Zealand to inform institutions of this change in process, and encourage institutions to tell Chinese students to register online. Students should visit http://www.chinanz-education.org to register.

  Please contact Aaron Zhao (Secondary Secretary, Education Section of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in New Zealand) for more information: aaronzl@163.com

• ENZ hosts agents and alumni in Japan

  There are many New Zealand providers and agents who are working hard in Japan, and we know that there are more who would like to make forays in to this market. In line with these activities and initiatives, ENZ is making a concerted effort to re-enage with Japan – changing its status from a Tier Three to a Tier Two priority market, and ensuring it receives additional marketing support and investment.

  New Zealand and Japan have a long history of education cooperation – Japan is New Zealand’s fourth largest source country for international students, with 9,563 Japanese students in 2012.

  There is plenty of opportunity to grow from this strong base, and New Zealand is more committed than ever to engage at all levels – including government, as demonstrated by the visit in the same week by the Minster for Tertiary Education Skills and Employment, Hon. Steven Joyce to strengthen our education relationship.

  New Zealand is an ideal partner for Japan in its bid to internationalise its education system and its workforce, providing a prime destination for Japanese students to learn English – formally and informally – in a world-class education system within a multicultural environment.

  The agent networking events held in Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka and were designed to give New Zealand education providers the opportunity to reconnect with their existing Japanese agents and expand their network of education agent contacts in Japan. It was also an opportnity to promote ENZ’s new online agent e-learning programme which provides agents with current and relevant information on New Zealand and New Zealand education.

  The events featured a presentation from ENZ on New Zealand’s unique study benefits and an update from Immigration New Zealand on their new Immigration ONLINE visa processing, scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2014, plus, of course, an opportunity to network and socialise afterwards.

  It is hoped that the agents left these events with a clear sense that they are very much valued as promoters and sellers of New Zealand education to Japanese students and their families.

  

  The purpose of the alumni networking event in Tokyo was to help keep the alumni connected with New Zealand and with one another, and affirm their roles as willing ambassadors for New Zealand education.

  The alumni networking reception was held at the New Zealand Embassy in Toyko, and it proved to be the perfect venue for hosting the approximately 40 alumni and the New Zealand education providers who were in town for the agent events.

  The networking function included speeches from New Zealand’s Ambassador to Japan, Mark Sinclair, Minister Joyce and invited Japanese alumni, and included a performance from Tomitsuyu (stage name) a geisha in training. 

  The event also included a classic kiwi BBQ and a yes/no game much loved by the Japanese.

  A nice moment recalled by the two ENZ staff who attended was of alumni taking photos of themselves eating pavlova to post on their Facebook pages.

  The activities in Japan supported ENZ’s recently launched ‘Study in New Zealand’ school campaign in which showcases to prospective school students and their parents that you get more from a New Zealand education: a better learning experience, greater lifestyle opportunities and the foundations for a promising future and career.

• Investment in international education provides boost

  Over $600,000 of co-funding was awarded in the third round of International Education Growth Fund grants to a mix of projects across the international education sector aimed at growing New Zealand’s international education industry.

  The University of Waikato received co-funding to partner with law schools in China to enable Chinese students to complete their Chinese LLB and undertake a LLM at Waikato, as well as to enable Waikato students to obtain LLM qualifications that are recognised in China.

  Study Applied Sciences – a marketing alliance of Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT), Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT), Universal College of Learning (UCOL) and Otago Polytechnic (OP) – received co-funding to create print and digital material to raise awareness in Germany of applied science at New Zealand institutes of technology and polytechnics.

  Other successful initiatives include a collaboration of four high schools from Auckland and Tauranga to attract more students from Mexico and a project by Hamilton-based Online Education Ltd to translate its ‘Code Avengers’ online computer programming and web development courses for new markets.

  “A common theme across this round’s participants is collaboration, an imperative for the industry if we are to achieve our goal of increasing the value of international education to New Zealand to $5 billion by 2025,” says Grant McPherson, Chief Executive of Education New Zealand.

  The IEGF offers co-funding to new and innovative projects targeted at international markets. Education New Zealand invests between $10,000 and $50,000 per project to match successful applicants' funding.

  “Over three funding rounds we have invested just over $2 million in 59 growth projects that have helped develop new education products, opened the door to new markets, and facilitated contacts that will lead to new business or investment.

  “International education brings social and cultural benefits to New Zealand, as well as contributing to economic growth, and we welcome opportunities to develop the market offshore for our world-class education programmes, products and services,” says Mr McPherson.

  Applications for round four of the International Growth Fund open on 1 September 2014.

• Immigration ONLINE-Student goes live

  The new service is available to full fee paying, scholarship, exchange and English language students. Students will find the login box here: 

  Student applicants will still need to provide passports, either through Visa Application Centres offshore or, if the applicant is already in New Zealand, through the INZ Palmerston North office.

  Once label-less visas (e-visas) become widely available in 2015, most applicants will no longer need to send in their passports along with their applications.  

  Next year, INZ’s third party partners such as immigration advisers, education agents and education providers will be able to apply for visas on behalf of their student clients.

  Until then, all current application methods will remain available. Advisers and providers can help students complete the form, but for now, the student must submit it until ‘apply on behalf ‘becomes available.

  Further information about INZ’s Immigration ONLINE project can be found here.

• NZ universities feature on Chinese TV

  Through Education New Zealand’s (ENZ) strong relationship with the International Channel Shanghai (ICS) the documentary All About Going Abroad was filmed at the University of Auckland, AUT, Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington.

  The first season of the programme focused on the United States and we were excited to be chosen as the destination country for the second season.

  Five episodes were produced on New Zealand university study options and include our own Regional Director Alexandra Grace and Guangzhou-based Education Manager Felix Ye.

  ICS is available in nine million cable TV households in Shanghai, and reaches an even wider audience through its website www.ICShanghai.com, which makes programmes available online and on apps for mobile devices.

  The show premiered on 20 September and will be broadcast every Saturday at 6pm until 18 October. You can watch online at www.icshanghai.com or www.iqiyi.com after it is aired on TV.

• Thailand gearing up for popular education expo

  TIECA is Thailand’s peak body of educational consultants, and aims to help raise standards of practice and services for both students and international institutions. They currently have some 70 members actively working in the education area.

  Jaruwan Pongjaruwat, ENZ’s Programme Manager – Thailand, says the successful history of the expo, combined with the sheer number of attendees this year, makes it a key event that New Zealand institutions shouldn’t miss.

  “Last year, we had about five New Zealand providers join the fair, and it would be great to have even more this time. It’s a fantastic opportunity for providers to interact with students and agents face-to-face and get their foot in the door.”

  At the fair, institutions can network with TIECA agents and discuss possibilities for working together. There will also be seminars throughout the expo to raise awareness of institutions and increase student enrolment. For students interested in studying abroad, the expo will provide access to the TIECA member directory and other materials to support their decision making process.

  The expo will focus on all areas of study including language schools, high schools and universities, with participants from educational institutions in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Malaysia, the United States and many other countries.

  The TIECA expo has been promoted extensively online, and is inviting online celebrity students to join in and entice more students along.
