Facebook insights on international students
With the rise of Facebook Messenger picked as a social media trend for 2017, ENZ’s social communities team have been analysing students’ messages to the Study in New Zealand Facebook page they’ve received since November.
The team identified trends and summarised the most common enquiries about New Zealand education levels, course info as well as the top countries that these student enquiries came from.
Olivia Silverwood, ENZ’s International Social Communities Manager says the results were often surprising, but positive.
“It’s interesting that some of the top countries we’ve received enquiries from aren’t markets where we’ve done any proactive marketing – it’s encouraging to see New Zealand is appearing on students’ radars organically.”
The Facebook enquiries also indicated that most students are interested in STEM subjects, and postgraduate education. The most common questions focused on course info, costs, scholarships, how to apply – as well as info about visas.
“New Zealand is continuing to draw high-value students, and the benefits New Zealand offers international postgraduate students are being noticed,” said Olivia.
“The kinds of questions people ask us are about the practical side of study abroad, suggesting that these students aren’t just dreaming about coming to New Zealand, but are already planning and budgeting and taking the first steps.”

New Zealand top of the world in university sustainability stewardship
New Zealand universities have come out on top of the world for sustainability stewardship in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2024.
New Zealand universities’ approach to sustainability and equality has been announced as world-leading by Times Higher Education (THE) in its most recent Impact Rankings (2024). The stewardship rankings saw New Zealand score an average of 85.3 to come out ahead of Australia (84.4) and Hong Kong (81.9). All eight New Zealand universities participated in the rankings.
Now in its sixth year, the Impact Rankings is the only ranking system in the world that measures universities’ contributions to the United Nations’ Sustainability Goals (UN SDG’s). The Rankings assess the commitment made by universities to sustainability across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach, and teaching.
In topping the table for sustainability stewardship, New Zealand’s universities have scored well against indicators such as tracking food waste and having sustainable food choices on campus (SDG 2), the proportion of senior female academics (SDG 5), having water reuse policies and measurements (SDG 6), ensuring energy efficiency with renovations of buildings (SDG 7), and guaranteeing a living wage (SDG 8).
New Zealand universities also came second equal in the world against sustainability outreach, meaning high scores were achieved for contributing to policies addressing poverty (SDG 1), collaborating with health institutions (SDG 3), providing programmes for the local community to learn about energy efficiency (SDG 7), participating in cooperative planning for climate change disasters (SDG 13), and providing expert advice to government (SDG 16).
ENZ’s Acting Chief Executive Dr Linda Sissons welcomed the results and said the global recognition for New Zealand’s universities working hard to make a positive impact in the face of pressing environmental and social challenges world-wide was significant.
“New Zealand’s education system is guided by Kaitiakitanga (the Māori concept of guardianship). This principle instils a deep sense of connection to our land and a commitment to ensuring its health and vitality for future generations.
"Kaitiakitanga informs the approach taken by our universities to resource management, conservation, and sustainable development that all contribute to the UN’s SDGs particularly in the areas of food security, bioenergy, sustainable urban development, and climate change,” said Dr Sissons.
Dr Sissons added “It is incredibly positive to have our approach to sustainability stewardship and outreach recognised as world leading. This is particularly important to us as we know that students around the globe are increasingly prioritising environmental and social responsibility and choosing to study at institutions that align with their personal values.”
In this year's Impact Rankings, a record 2,152 universities from 125 countries/regions were assessed. Progress is measured for each of the individual 17 SDGs, and across the goals as a whole. View the full Impact Rankings 2024 results here.

Schools invited to join the Korea-New Zealand Digital School Exchange Programme
The programme, delivered in partnership with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (Seoul MOE) and Learn English Live (LEL), connects New Zealand students in Years 7-9 with their peers in South Korea through a series of interactive online exchanges.
Up to 10 New Zealand schools will be selected to take part. Each participating group will join four one‑hour Zoom sessions held weekly from 11 May to 8 June 2026. Sessions will be scheduled between 12pm and 3pm NZT to accommodate both time zones. Participation is free of charge.
The exchanges typically involve 20-25 students per school, matching the standard class size of Korean partner schools. New Zealand schools wishing to involve more students may form additional groups of around 20 students each.
ENZ and Seoul MOE work closely with LEL, which coordinates communication with participating schools, schedules exchange times, prepares teachers and students, and facilitates each session. Topics covered range from language and cultural sharing to UN Sustainable Development Goals projects, STEM activities and global citizenship themes. New Zealand teachers have consistently noted the benefit of not needing to prepare or deliver session content themselves.
Why join?
- Promote your school to a South Korean audience for free
- Showcase New Zealand’s unique education environment and culture
- Engage your students in a hybrid STEM and cultural exchange
- No added work to your teaching load – LEL takes care of all the admin and logistics, allowing you to simply show up with your classroom and enjoy the global learning experience
Teachers in previous rounds praised the programme for its smooth delivery and the enthusiasm it sparked in their classrooms, and the programme’s blend of STEM learning and cultural exchange has been highlighted as a key strength.
Check out the story from the previous programme here
Is this right for your school?
The programme is a great fit for schools looking to build long-term relationships with Korean partner schools, particularly those with strengths in social studies, cultural or global studies, languages or global citizenship education.
It also offers a valuable opportunity to promote your school in Korea in a meaningful, low-pressure and no-cost way that can attract potential international students over the long term.
Timeframes
Applications close: Friday, 20 March 2026, 11:59pm
Selection process: 23-25 March 2026
Notification of outcome: Wednesday, 25 March 2026

China transnational education policy update: What it means for New Zealand education providers
In early June, China’s Ministry of Education (China MOE) hosted its second Policy Briefing on China’s Opening-up in Education. This session followed the initial briefing held in September 2025, which was detailed in this update from Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (China Insight: Transnational education update October 2025 | ENZ IntelliLab).
The briefing was led by the Director-General of the Department of International Cooperation and Exchanges. Crucially, China MOE used this senior-level platform to directly address widespread international concerns regarding policy continuity and stability.
The Director-General explicitly stated that China will not “slam on the brakes” on TNE partnerships in the coming years. Instead, Beijing views TNE as a core component of its strategy to become a world-leading education power by 2035, reassuring providers that the current open stance is built for the long term.
ENZ's Regional Director - Greater China, Dr Ron Xavier said understanding China MOE policies and how they guide and develop its international education priorities is crucial for New Zealand education providers.
“China remains New Zealand’s largest source for international students. Every year, up to 13,000 offshore Chinese students start their study with New Zealand providers as part of 81 transnational education partnerships. Understanding the essence of China's international education policies is important for New Zealand providers, as these settings continue to shape opportunities and expectations for transnational education partnerships between New Zealand and China,” Ron said.
For New Zealand providers – both those managing established programmes and those entering the market – the key takeaways sit across three main areas:
1. Regulatory predictability and market growth
Rather than a sudden tightening of controls, China MoE is shifting toward a more transparent, predictable, and streamlined regulatory environment.
· Faster approval tracks: In the first half of 2026 alone, China MoE approved 219 joint institutes and programmes – the highest level of approvals seen in over a decade. A policy change introduced in September 2025 is driving this momentum that locks in a strict decision-making timeline of 45 working days from application acceptance.
· The global and New Zealand footprint: As of 31 May 2026, China has over 1,700 approved degree-conferring joint programmes and institutes involving more than 1,100 overseas institutions. New Zealand providers are highly competitive in this stable framework, securing 15 of the 219 newly approved global partnerships.
· Codifying the rules: To cement these reforms into permanent structures, China MoE confirmed that a revision of the Regulations on Sino-Foreign Cooperation in Running Schools is actively underway, alongside the upcoming release of an official Guide to TNE Cooperation.
Regional growth pathways: As part of this stable expansion, China MoE highlighted strong, long-term demand from local governments in China’s central and western regions. Provinces with large populations and developing modern industries are actively seeking international partners, offering clear, secure opportunities for New Zealand providers looking to expand outside traditional coastal hubs.
2. Student demographics and sustained demand
To reassure providers that student demand will remain stable, China MoE linked its policy stance to clear demographic data:
· Near-term peak (now to 2035): Demand for higher education places remains intensely strong. Gaokao (College Entrance Exam) registrations rose from 12.45 million in 2025 to 12.90 million in 2026, ensuring a massive pool of prospective students for the next decade.
· Post-2035 demographic shift: While a dropping birth rate since 2017 means the college-aged population will fall sharply after 2035, the immediate focus for the next nine years is handling the current volume of students.
· “Internationalisation at home”: Rising global mobility costs and broader international uncertainties mean more Chinese families prefer high-quality, international education delivered domestically. This structural social shift ensures steady, long-term recruitment for robust TNE programmes.
3. Shifting from volume to quality control
China MoE made it clear that while the door remains wide open, it is no longer about numbers alone. Policy stability will be paired with active quality management:
· Normalised market exits: They noted that the closure of underperforming partnerships or those with low student recruitment is a normal, healthy part of managing a mature market. This ensures that high-quality, committed providers are protected from reputational risks caused by substandard programmes.
· Official partner-matching platform: To support stable, high-level pairings, China is building an official online platform to help domestic institutions find suitable international partners. The first phase will list the world’s top 1,000 ranked foreign institutions, with plans to expand access later.
What does this mean for New Zealand education providers?
To help the sector understand these regulatory shifts and the TNE landscape between New Zealand and China, ENZ’s China team is running a targeted webinar unpacking these policy updates. This session will benefit both experienced TNE managers and providers new to the market. Read more and register on the link below.
Webinar: Snapshot of transnational education between New Zealand and China
Join ENZ for a first sector-facing session on transnational education (TNE) trends, policy update, and an analysis of current TNE landscape between New Zealand and China, as well as what support Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) can offer to the sector.
Date: Friday, 31 July, 2-2.30pm New Zealand time (10-10.30 am Beijing time)
Presenters: ENZ Regional Director (Greater China), Ron Xavier, and Education Manager, Rosemary An
Why attend?
We are using this webinar as an opportunity to build broader sector awareness of TNE as an increasingly important tool for growing offshore enrolment, how well-structured TNE can contribute to expanding education access, generate revenue, build an international student pipeline and global brand awareness.
We are also keen to gather practical feedback and insights from education providers to guide how ENZ can support you in delivering in-market strategy through TNE collaboration.
Who should attend?
The webinar is primarily tertiary education sector focused.

New Zealand tops English-speaking countries in Educating for the Future ranking again
New Zealand retained its ranking from 2018, with an overall score of 79.9, close behind Sweden (84.3) and Finland (84.8), which topped the rankings.
New Zealand achieved a top score in the index’s socio-economic environment category, which measures how education systems expose their students to global values such as gender equality, civic freedom, and diversity and tolerance.
The index’s socio-economic environment category compares freedom of religion and the press, gender equality, attitudes toward immigrants, and protecting the environment.
“High-income economies have the most open societies and are therefore conducive to learning future-oriented skills,” the EIU 2019 report said.
New Zealand also ranked among the top five countries in the education policy environment category, which tracked economies focusing on critical thinking, digital skills and soft skills as part of the secondary school curriculum.
“It’s a fantastic result for New Zealand to have retained our top global ranking in the English-speaking world as well as the Asia-Pacific region,” ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson said.
“It’s great to see New Zealand do so well in the index’s socio-economic environment category that measures exposure to global values such as diversity and tolerance.
“Future skills are vital to advancing these global values.”
The index assesses the effectiveness of education systems in preparing students for the demands of work and life in a rapidly changing landscape.
It focuses on young people aged 15-24 in 50 economies, and measures three pillars of education systems – policy approaches, teaching conditions and broader gauges of societal freedom and openness – as a means of readying young people to meet the challenges of work and society in future.
