From the Acting Chief Executive: A lot to be proud of
Tēnā koutou katoa
Earlier this month a New Zealand business publication ran a column that challenged the role of international education in delivering our Government’s objective of double the export earnings. As you might expect, I could not let the challenge go unanswered. You can read the full response on the ENZ website, but I thought there was merit in highlighting a couple of the key points along with some of the excerpts as they provide a good summary of the state of international education in New Zealand today.
The first point I made in my response confirmed that students are returning. We recently published the Ministry of Education’s enrolment data for 2023 (part-year) which firmly backed this up.
“Students are returning to New Zealand. In the first eight months of 2023 international student enrolments topped 59,000 with all sectors experiencing growth except wānanga. Accepting that it is from a low base, comparing 2023 to 2022, Universities have bounced back strongly reporting a 15% increase from 24,040 to 27,535.“
“In the first eight months of 2023 English Language Schools saw the greatest percentage increase in international enrolments, increasing by 347% from 1,565 to 7,001. Schools reported a 114% increase from 5,925 to 12,662. NZIST Te Pūkenga, a 32% increase from 4,955 to 6,560 and Private Training Establishments (funded and unfunded), a 13% increase from 5,000 to 5,671.”
Of these enrolments, students from India continue to provide the second highest number of enrolments in New Zealand. In recognition of our valued partnership, I am delighted to announce that the Republic of India will headline as Country of Honour at NZIEC KI TUA 2024.
The designation of Country of Honour at NZIEC KI TUA celebrates our international education connections with partner countries and I am pleased that we can celebrate the growing education connections between our two countries in this way. You can read more about this announcement along with a call for speakers in our E-News story here.
The second point from my response that I would like to reiterate is that: We have a plan and the sector is working together to deliver.
I highlighted that “The New Zealand International Education Strategy, revised in 2022, sets out a multi-year action plan to develop a high-value, resilient and innovative education sector for both international and domestic students. Further the new Government’s manifesto made clear their vision and priorities for international education. “
“I can also assure you that the sector is working together to achieve its goals, that all eight universities participated in a recent ENZ-led delegation to India, is just one example of the co-operation.”
It was very timely that I then received a wonderful note of appreciation from a Dunedin City Councillor this week for the work of the many people within ENZ and the sector involved with the recent Korean agent famil. This was further evidence that we are working collaboratively as a sector and delivering benefits to the international education ecosystem and our regions.
Councillor Christine Garey said “The input from ENZ has helped over the years to establish and maintain an international education ecosystem in the city. It’s encouraged transitions between school and tertiary education and supported a strong growth agenda with increased higher quality students staying longer.
However, of particular benefit has been access to inbound/outbound famils and delegations. ENZ’s support in bringing agents to our city has been especially valuable and allowed us to showcase what Ōtepoti, Dunedin has to offer. There is no replacement for this in person experience and we look forward to these visits continuing to rebuild relationships globally.
Study Dunedin and the international education ecosystem are in good heart here in Ōtepoti Dunedin, working collaboratively and effectively. We look forward to ENZ’s continuing support and especially, we warmly look forward to welcoming future famils to our city.”
Keep up the great work, everyone.

‘Unlock Your Future with New Zealand PTEs’ webinar series for the Indian market
According to 2023 enrolment data, India is the largest source of students for New Zealand’s Private Training Establishments (PTEs). To ensure agents in India are receiving the most up-to-date and relevant information on the quality and range of courses at New Zealand PTEs, ENZ has launched its ‘Unlock your Future with New Zealand PTEs’ series.
The series is designed to cover different programme areas offered by our PTEs. The first session, held in October, focused on Engineering, Technology, and IT programmes and proved popular with 62 education agents participating. Attending the session from the PTEs, were representatives from academyEX, Auckland Institute of Studies, Aspire2, International College of Auckland, Media Design School, New Zealand Skills and Education Group, Whitecliffe College, and Yoobee College. During the webinar, these representatives introduced their programmes, discussed pathway opportunities, job prospects after graduation, and shared alumni stories.
Ruth Cooper, Co-chair of Quality Tertiary Institutions and Country Director of Media Design School said that this series aims to give education agents a clear understanding of New Zealand PTEs.
“Indian students make up the largest group of international students at our PTEs and education agents play a crucial role in facilitating this.
“We want Indian education agents to have a clear understanding that New Zealand PTEs provide high-quality, government-recognised, and student-centred education. They are well-connected to industry and offer a wide array of courses and programs at various levels,” said Ruth.
“These webinars help providers establish and strengthen relationships with Indian education agents and equip them with valuable information to share with prospective students,” she added.
Register for the next webinar
There will be one more session held before the end of the year on Tuesday 19 November with more to follow in early 2025. The 19 November session will explore education options in food, hospitality, personal services, health, agriculture, and environmental studies. Education agents for the India market can register for this session here.

ENZ engages with Vietnamese media
Tip:
-
Alumni are the strongest way to promote a study destination in an authentic and believable way.
The event was hosted by ENZ Viet Nam and included a 90-minute Q&A with New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam, Wendy Matthews, and two New Zealand alumni.
The panellists answered questions from the media who sought to understand the New Zealand education system and its advantages over other popular markets such as the US, Singapore and Japan.
Tam Le, ENZ Marketing & Strategic Relations Manager, said the many questions reflected Viet Nam’s growing interest in New Zealand as a study destination.
“There’s typically been low awareness of New Zealand and its educational offering in Viet Nam, but with an increasing demand for international education, more and more people are looking beyond the traditional markets such as the US, UK, Australia and Singapore.
“Workshops are an engaging way to create awareness of the quality of New Zealand education, especially the world rankings of its ‘public’ institutions – because in Viet Nam, ‘public’ schools are associated with low quality.”
The event generated strong interest from media in Viet Nam’s capital, resulting in coverage in VietNamNet, VNExpress, Dantri and Zing, a top online magazine for Vietnamese teenagers and young adults, which created a “10 reasons to study in New Zealand” video.
The New Zealand Embassy also livestreamed the event on its Facebook page, with more than 15,000 views.
Alumni Phuong Anh (middle) and Hang Trinh (right) shared their experience studying in New Zealand at the media workshop
ENZ’s Viet Nam team is already busy building on relationships from the workshop. Two days after the event, Tam partnered with a local academic influencer to host a livestream interview. The video has had more than 11,000 views, and explored New Zealand’s teaching and research methodology, friendly and open-minded learning environment and support systems for international students.

Around the world in five
BRAZIL
Brazil’s study travel market bounces back
A recent survey shows Brazil’s outbound study surged by 14% in 2016, with students’ priorities shifting in terms of preferred programs of study, driven largely by employability factors. As such, language programs remained the most popular option, as speaking an international business language is seen as “essential” for students in the country.
US
Internationalisation and student recruitment increasing among US colleges
A new study of US colleges found nearly 30% of respondents reported high levels of international activity within their institutions, compared to 21% in 2011. When asked why, US colleges cited “improving student preparedness for a global era” as their main motivator, listing key activities such as “increasing study abroad for US students”, “recruiting international students” and “partnerships with institutions.”
CHINA
Hong Kong’s education system needs more heart and ‘soulware’
How can China best equip its next generation with the skills needed for a rapidly changing world? City University (CU) might have the answer. Despite being a young university with many students from lower-income families, it has made its way into the top 50 in the QS World University Rankings. CU President Way Kuo said the key is “soulware”, and has established regular exchange programmes with overseas universities to allow students to study abroad and “open their minds”.
UK
‘Widening gap’ between London and rest of country in language GCSEs
A widening gap is emerging in the take-up of language GCSEs between pupils in London and the rest of the country, a new report has warned. London is the only region in the country where the percentage of pupils taking language GCSES has risen over the past three years, possibly a result of the many multi-lingual pupils there normalising the ability to learn other languages.
INDIA and BRAZIL
Still a long way to go on internationalisation
India and Brazil are the largest higher education systems in the world in terms of numbers of students (alongside China and the United States) and the largest developing economies after China. While both nations have a long way to go, some important developments should be noted, including growth in scientific outputs and funding for public institutions.

CHINA
Luring back talent is top priority to fuel innovation
Attracting Chinese students back from abroad has become policy at the highest level of the Chinese government in a bid to fuel innovation as the country moves away from reliance on manufacturing.
MALAYSIA
You can now get a visa to study in Malaysia within a week
Under new regulations, international students can obtain their student visa in just seven days – part of the government’s aim to double Malaysia’s international student population to 200,000 by 2020.
FRANCE
Emmanuel Macron ‘to double the number of Indian students coming to France’
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron to explore ways to deepen bilateral cooperation. The French President interacted with students in New Delhi, where he invited students to pursue education in France.
EUROPE
Germany ranked as most attractive study destination in Europe
An annual ranking of European study destinations places Germany as the most attractive option for international students, thanks to a growing number of courses offered in English and with the lowest unemployment rate for university graduates in Europe.
UK and AUSTRALIA
UK and Australia seek to 'turbocharge' higher education links
Universities UK and Universities Australia will work together to boost joint research, student and academic exchanges, and mutual recognition of each other’s qualifications.

ENZ launches Future Proof campaign
New Zealand was ranked the #1 country in the world for educating students for the future, according to a report by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) released late last year.
On 19 March, ENZ launched an eight-week global campaign to promote the ranking and encourage international students to sign-up to ENZ’s database marketing programme.
The first phase of the campaign focuses on awareness. Ten days in, the campaign video has attracted more than 6.1 million views on Facebook and over 1.8 million views on YouTube from the target audience.
Patrick Holden, ENZ’s Digital Media Project Manager, said the campaign is part of a robust media framework that ENZ developed in 2017 which can be rolled out globally.
“In the design phase, we used learnings from our previous media activity and leveraged our in-market team knowledge and we’re pretty happy with the results we are seeing so far,” said Patrick.
“We have also put a lot of work into better understanding our audience’s journey – what students first click on, where that leads them, and what other key information they seek.
“This helps us understand what information students connect with, such as the future proof ranking, and what attracts them to study in New Zealand.”
The second phase of the campaign will start in April, and will be focussed on converting the audience into enquiries to institutions.
The ‘Future proof’ campaign integrates ENZ’s social communities and digital channels via ENZ’s student attraction engine and will be the first campaign integrated with the database marketing platform.
The campaign emphasises New Zealand’s strengths outlined in The EIU Worldwide Educating Students for the Future Index, including:
- An education system that develops in-demand skills such as critical thinking, creativity, independence and teamwork.
- We offer diverse learning experiences inside and outside the classroom, and our practical, hands-on approach teaches students to use their knowledge in real-world situations.
- New Zealand is a modern, progressive and open-minded country. The experiences students have here enable them to grow personally as well as academically.
