ENZ Team India flew the flag for New Zealand at the IC3 Annual Conference & Exhibition 2025 in Mumbai and the G2 Gen Next Higher Education Summit in Bengaluru.

Both events are recognised as cornerstone platforms in India’s education calendar, drawing senior decision-makers and influencers from across South Asia.

At the IC3 Annual Conference, which welcomed over 1000 school leaders, career counsellors, and education providers, ENZ’s booth attracted significant engagement from a wide range of attendees.

New Zealand’s quality offering was further profiled in a breakout session on the topic ‘Destination Alignment: A Best-Fit Framework for UK, US & New Zealand.

University of Auckland Director International, Martin Hookham Simms, represented New Zealand in the session, speaking alongside University of Southampton Executive Director – India Implementation, David Winstanley and Rice University Deputy Director of Admission, Jessica Griffith.

The discussion highlighted emerging student preferences for the UK, US, and New Zealand, offering a practical breakdown of how to assess each destination using key criteria such as academic fit, affordability, career opportunities, and cultural context. Drawing on first-hand insights from senior university leaders, the session equipped attendees with actionable tools to help students make confident, informed, and best-fit decisions.

Over to the g2 Gen Next Summit, ENZ led a dedicated Country Spotlight session to highlight New Zealand’s world-class education system and demonstrate its relevance to India’s evolving education priorities.

The g2 Gen Next Summit is known for facilitating high-impact dialogue between high schools and global universities, making it a valuable space for ENZ to promote New Zealand's educational identity and grow partnerships.

ENZ also hosted a targeted roundtable with high school counsellors, providing a deeper understanding of New Zealand’s holistic and future-ready study environment, and reinforcing pathways for Indian students.

Director of Engagement, Jugnu Roy, said the events provided a great platform to demonstrate New Zealand’s unique strengths in education.

“Through our presence at IC3 and the Country Spotlight session at g2, we were able to strengthen relationships with influential school counsellors, share up-to-date resources, and highlight New Zealand’s academic strengths, inclusive values, and commitment to student wellbeing,” she said.

“This direct engagement supports our long-term strategy in India to position New Zealand as a preferred international study destination,” Jugnu added.
Connecting with education providers and agents in Germany

Earlier this month, ENZ took part in the ICEF Conference in Berlin. ENZ Associate Director of Engagement, Olga Elli, joined a panel discussion on the topic ‘Australia and New Zealand: The Year That Was and the Year Ahead’. This session brought together agents and providers from around the world to explore policy updates, challenges, and opportunities in international education.

Central to the discussion was New Zealand’s International Education Going for Growth Plan, with its ambitious goals and targets. Olga highlighted that the strategy is built around sustainable growth and grounded in public support as well as student success. She reinforced a message that resonated strongly with the audience: New Zealand is open, and students are welcome.

Another key engagement in Germany was a roundtable with Hamburg-based education agents, held during a cultural night at MARKK Museum and hosted by New Zealand Ambassador to Germany, H.E. Craig Hawke.

The roundtable provided an excellent opportunity to exchange market insights, address challenges, and identify new opportunities. Agents shared positive feedback on New Zealand’s growing popularity among German students, citing safety, high-quality education, and the manaakitanga New Zealand offers as key drivers.

They also noted the success of scholarship campaigns in promoting New Zealand as a study destination. Single-sex schools were highlighted as particularly appealing to high-performing German student athletes, and agents expressed interest in exploring new schools in smaller coastal towns.

Olga said engagements like this reaffirm the importance New Zealand places on collaboration and open dialogue with international partners. “By sharing insights, addressing challenges, and celebrating cultural connections, we continue to strengthen New Zealand’s position as a trusted and welcoming study destination,” Olga said.

ENZ will continue working closely with education agents to ensure they have up-to-date information on New Zealand, awareness of emerging policy updates, and access to New Zealand Taught Me campaign materials – so students can experience the very best our country has to offer.
South Korea event series highlights growing interest in New Zealand

New Zealand Education Fair in Korea draws strong interest

The New Zealand Education Fair in Seoul brought together 40 New Zealand schools and institutions, offering students and parents the chance to explore study opportunities directly with representatives.

The event attracted 2,100 pre-registrations, with 900 participants attending on the day, underscoring the strong demand for New Zealand education pathways. Families engaged in one-to-one consultations, gaining tailored advice on study options, English preparation, and scholarship opportunities.

During the fair, alumni speakers were invited to share their personal journeys and provide guidance to attendees. They spoke about effective English study strategies before departure, practical approaches to a family “one-year living in New Zealand” experience, and the pathways from New Zealand study to admission into leading universities.

Strong interest in primary education

The fair confirmed a notable shift in interest, with Korean families showing particularly strong enthusiasm for primary education opportunities in New Zealand.

Many families expressed interest in spending at least a year in New Zealand with their young children, allowing them to experience the country’s safe and nurturing education environment first-hand. This reflects a growing trend in Korea towards family-based study abroad and “one-year living overseas” experiences.

Expanding interest in New Zealand education

While in Korea, New Zealand schools took part in the Agent Seminar and one-to-one meetings attended by 51 Korean education agency representatives. There was notable participation from agencies not specialising solely in New Zealand, who are now increasingly considering it a key English-speaking study destination to promote.

The event also provided a valuable opportunity for active engagement between New Zealand education providers and agents, followed by the New Zealand Education Night Reception at the official residence of New Zealand’s Ambassador to South Korea, H.E Dawn Bennet. There, deeper exchanges were held with Korean government officials, education stakeholders, and agency representatives.

Positive feedback from schools and families

New Zealand schools noted the high level of engagement and the quality of conversations with Korean students and their families at the New Zealand Education Fair. Attendees also shared positive feedback, commenting on the value of direct consultations with New Zealand education providers.

The Korea fair followed ENZ-led events in Thailand, Japan, and Vietnam, and marked the final stop in this season’s dedicated New Zealand education fairs across Asia. Together, these events have strengthened New Zealand’s connections with families across the region and reinforced the country’s reputation as a world-class study destination.

ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager based in Seoul, Kay Lee, said the fair was a valuable platform to not only promote a New Zealand education, but gather insights too.

“It clearly showed how market trends and the expectations of Korean students and families are evolving,” she said.

“For students, it provided a strong understanding of the benefits of New Zealand’s education system, while for schools it was an invaluable opportunity to engage directly with highly interested families,” Kay added.
Celebrating excellence: ENZ hosts inaugural New Zealand Universities Awards in Viet Nam

The event highlighted New Zealand’s commitment to supporting Vietnamese students and reaffirmed the strong education partnership between the two countries during the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations.

The NZUA programme was officially announced by Prime Minister Rt Hon Christopher Luxon during a visit to Viet Nam earlier this year. It is the first New Zealand Government-backed undergraduate scholarship exclusively for Vietnamese students.

Following a competitive selection process, eight outstanding high school students were awarded the inaugural NZUA scholarships. Each recipient distinguished themselves not only through academic excellence but also through their personal aspirations, resilience, and commitment to engaging with the world.

At the ceremony, the students were formally presented with their scholarship certificates by Trade Commissioner Scott James and ENZ Regional Director – Asia (excluding China), Ben Burrowes. The celebration was witnessed by families, representatives from New Zealand universities and education agencies.

In his address, Scott highlighted the significance of this milestone.

“The inaugural NZUA cohort are not only exceptional students, but also cultural and intellectual bridges between our two nations. They stand as a vivid testament to the strong and enduring educational partnership between Viet Nam and New Zealand,” he said.

Ben also emphasised the value of the programme.

“The NZUA scholarship reflects the spirit of valuing both knowledge and people – a core principle of New Zealand’s education system.

“We are proud to welcome the first generation of NZUA Vietnamese students to New Zealand’s leading universities, where they will grow, integrate, and contribute to the shared progress of our world,” he said.

A particularly symbolic moment of the ceremony was the connection ritual between university representatives and the scholarship recipients. Students received congratulatory gifts and placed stars on a map of New Zealand to mark the cities and universities where they will soon study – a visual representation of the “first steps” of the NZUA generation.

Among the recipients, Do Tran Phuong Uyen said that she feels the scholarship is much more than financial support.

“It represents belief – belief in our potential, our dreams, and our ability to contribute to our communities and to the ongoing relationship between Viet Nam and New Zealand,” she said.

“It shows that young Vietnamese students can become leaders, innovators, and responsible global citizens,” Do added.

Parents also expressed their trust and confidence in New Zealand’s education system.

Ho Tuyen Truyen, father of recipient Ho Nhu Quynh Chi, said he places his full trust in New Zealand’s safe, high-quality education system.

“I believe that in this environment, my child will be nurtured with knowledge, resilience, and compassion,” he said.

As the first NZUA cohort prepares to begin their journeys, the scholarship stands as a powerful symbol of New Zealand’s commitment to Viet Nam’s young talent.

These students are poised to become influential ambassadors, helping to strengthen educational collaboration and foster deeper people-to-people connections between New Zealand and Viet Nam.
New Zealand showcased at Expo Exterior and to leading Chilean universities 

At Expo Exterior, ENZ Director of Engagement Javiera Visedo joined a governmental panel on the topic ‘Bridges to the Future: Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, allies of Chilean talent’.

Javiera spoke alongside Austrade Director of Education, Scott Bennet; Embassy of Ireland Deputy Head of Mission, Fergal Horgan and Blue Studies International Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Palacios.

In addition to Expo Exterior, ENZ participated in international fairs at Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and Universidad San Sebastián in Concepción.

The fairs gave ENZ a valuable chance to talk directly with students, parents, and academics, helping strengthen relationships with potential to develop new partnerships and long-term collaboration between New Zealand and Chile.

Director of Engagement Javiera Visedo said this activity contributes significantly to ENZ’s strategic objectives under the International Education Going for Growth plan, particularly in boosting brand awareness.

“While New Zealand enjoys a strong reputation in Chile, competition in the international education market is intense. By being present at these events, we connect with prospective students and build trust with parents and academic leaders who often influence study decisions,” she said.
Haere rā: Farewell message from outgoing Chief Executive Amanda Malu
Tēnā koutou katoa,

As I close out my time as Chief Executive of Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao, I leave with confidence in the future of the international education sector for New Zealand.

Over the past year the sector has continued with steady and balanced growth, contributing more than $4.52 billion annually to the economy and enjoying enduring public support for international students.

Our most recent New Zealand International Student Experience Survey also showed strong support from international students, with 87 percent of those surveyed rating their New Zealand experience positively. That’s an excellent result and something to celebrate.

Last year, the Government launched the International Education Going for Growth Plan, and I am really pleased that this work is tracking well. ENZ has been focusing its promotional efforts on markets with the highest potential for growth while continuing to maintain New Zealand’s strong presence and reputation for high-quality education in other markets. This work continues as ENZ enters its next planning cycle.

While Chief Executive, I feel extremely privileged to have joined three Prime Minister-led delegations, championing New Zealand’s unique education offering in Grow markets including China, India and Viet Nam. Another highlight was travelling to Beijing last year for the China Annual Conference and Expo for International Education (CACIE), at which New Zealand had the distinction of being the Country of Honour.

I have deeply valued being part of the ENZ team and my overall reflection is one of immense gratitude. It has been an absolute career highlight for me and an incredible experience made possible by the great people of this organisation.

I would like to end by acknowledging and thanking everyone in the sector who works so hard to grow international education and its value to New Zealand.

I know 2026 will be another exciting year and I wish you success ahead.

Hei te tau tītoki, 

Amanda Malu
2026 New Zealand School Scholarships launched in Viet Nam
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) launched the New Zealand Schools Scholarships (NZSS) 2026 programme, recording the highest level of participation since the programme’s inception in 2019.

A total of 56 New Zealand secondary schools and 55 Vietnamese education agents have participated in NZSS 2026, reflecting strong education provider and market confidence in the programme.

Launched on 5 January, the programme will have applications close on 22 March 2026, with 56 scholarships available across a diverse range of state, private, single-sex and co-educational schools, offering NCEA, Cambridge or IB curricula.

To grow awareness and interest in the scholarships and New Zealand’s school study options, ENZ delivered a series of New Zealand School Scholarships information sessions in collaboration with six education agencies and one partner school in Viet Nam. This was in addition to two public webinars livestreamed on a partner media fanpage.

ENZ also strengthened agent capability through a dedicated six-part webinar series for Vietnamese agents, delivered from 3-18 December 2025. The series featured 36 speakers from New Zealand secondary schools, NZQA and SIEBA, and focused on building agent knowledge of the New Zealand school system, regional school offerings, and NZSS promotion guidelines.

The agent webinar series attracted over 160 registrations, with 60-98 agents attending each session, indicating strong engagement across the market. The sessions were designed to equip agents with practical tools to confidently advise parents and students and to support consistent, accurate promotion of NZSS.

ENZ’s Market Manager – Viet Nam, Van Banh said these activities aim to provide prospective school students and their parents clear, consistent information about the NZSS programme and application process.

“With the programme’s record school participation this year, expanded market outreach, and a strong focus on education agent capability-building, NZSS 2026 is a significant step forward to strengthen awareness of New Zealand’s secondary education offering in Viet Nam and support its long-term, sustainable growth.

“It’s fantastic to see a sustained level of commitment and contribution from education providers for this programme, it really highlights the strategic value of the NZSS as a pathway programme to study in New Zealand and underlines the sector’s continued confidence in Viet Nam’s secondary school market,” Van said.

Collectively, participating New Zealand schools have committed an estimated $441,702 NZD in scholarship investment, with each school offering a scholarship valued at 50 percent of the first-year tuition fee.

Since its first launch in 2019, NZSS has awarded nearly 80 scholarships, enabling Vietnamese students to access high-quality secondary education in New Zealand and progress to positive academic and career outcomes. Alumni achievements continue to reinforce NZSS’ reputation as one of the most established and impactful government-backed secondary school scholarship programmes in Viet Nam.
