ENZ re-connecting at ICEF ANZA Conference Perth 2023
More than 230 international student recruitment agents and over 150 providers from around 50 countries attended the first in-person ANZA conference since the Covid-19 pandemic. The conference was held from 12 to 14 April.
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) is one of ANZA’s key supporters. It is an excellent opportunity for education providers and agents to connect, exchange and explore ideas that will grow the international education sector around the world.
ENZ’s Manager, Global Events and Agents, Janine Huxford, alongside Immigration New Zealand’s Manager of International Education, Celia Coombes, were invited to deliver a presentation on New Zealand’s road to recovery as a top study destination.
Janine said “Celia and I took this opportunity to begin our presentation by showcasing the unique cultural experience that international students have when they come to Aotearoa New Zealand. Our presentation began in a pitch-black room with the sound of the pūtātara, conch shell or sea trumpet ringing out.
“This was followed by a karakia acknowledging the Māori creation story that begins with a description of darkness and nothingness and continues to move between different states until light flows into the world that establishes a fundamental relationship between humans and the natural world. It was quite a spine-tingling experience, and no one will forget our introduction in a hurry,” she added.
Janine and Celia then went on to talk about the incredible mahi that our sector is doing across our various agencies and institutions to rebuild the international education market within Aotearoa New Zealand. “We shared with our audience that students considering international education are always going to choose the country first. For a niche market like Aotearoa New Zealand, it is important that our messaging is focused on what students will experience when they come to study with you”, said Janine.

Smart waste management idea sees students take out top spot in KIWI Challenge Indonesia finals
The theme was “Reforming Indonesia’s mobility and smart cities using AI technology”. This year’s initiative hosted 59 teams from across 37 schools for a total of 269 student participants, the highest ever at the KIWI Challenge.
The groups were required to submit video entries to a judging panel made up of AUT academics and ENZ representatives, who reviewed the submissions and selected finalists. Participants received mentoring from a New Zealand university academic through the process and took part in workshops to refine their business plans. They were given a taste of New Zealand’s learning environment along the way and built an understanding of our tertiary education offering for future planning.
The participating academic was Dr Taghreed Hikmet from AUT, a Senior Lecturer in International Business, Strategy, and Entrepreneurship who has expertise in smart cities and is passionate about mentoring and inspiring young future leaders.
The finals were held on Saturday 25th November, where six shortlisted teams from across Indonesia presented their ideas to a panel of judges made up of Dr Hikmet (AUT), Ben Burrowes (ENZ’s Regional Director, Asia), and Indonesia Embassy staff (representing Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade), Hira Trisnoputri.
UniSadhuGuna International College took first place with their ‘Greenlight’ business idea, a smart waste management enterprise which aims to create a sustainable waste management system that actively involves households, businesses, and the government. UniSadhuGuna International College received a voucher worth 10,000,000 Indonesian Rupiah for winning the competition.
Winners! The team from UniSadhuGuna international College took out first place with their ‘Greenlight’ business idea.
Dr Hikmet reflected on the KIWI Challenge warmly. “It has been truly rewarding, observing the outstanding progress and growth in the finalists' projects, presentations, and overall confidence.
"It was a privilege to engage with high school students across Indonesia, contributing to the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit fostered by the competition. Excitement brews within me for the potential of future collaborations and initiatives,” Dr Hikmet concluded.
Following the finals, Ben Burrowes and Dr Taghreed Hikmet participated in an Instagram Live session with KOMPAS TV, the leading media network in Indonesia. This Instagram Live generated a total of 3.4k views and the highest number of people watching online was 348. You can watch the Instagram Live here: Part 1 and Part 2.

Around the world in five
INDIA
Watch for shifts in Indian outbound this year
India has become a key sending market in international education. However, Indian students’ choice of study destination is highly influenced by visa policy and the availability of post-study work opportunities. Recent developments in the US and the UK have called their continuing appeal into question, opening the door for other destinations to claim a share of the market. So where will these students go?
MALAYSIA
Many students in fields that don’t interest them
At least one in three Malaysian students is pursuing a degree that doesn’t suit his personality or character traits, according to an international recruitment agency. The agency suggests that the mismatch between character traits and qualifications was one of the main reasons that Malaysia had a high number of unemployed graduates – 200,000 in 2016, according to the Malaysian Employers Federation.
CHINA
Schools develop global vision in students
In Hangzhou, education authorities are encouraging schools to adopt an international outlook and curriculum. Next month, 30 local elementary and middle schools will officially be models in international student exchanges, global relations and the employment of teachers from abroad. By the end of this year, the city hopes to have 80 schools in that designation.
CANADA
Campaign launches to spur #LearningAbroad
The Canadian Bureau for International Education has rolled out a nationwide campaign, Learning Beyond Borders, to encourage students to study abroad. Just 2.3% of university students studied abroad in 2014/15, but research suggests a much higher number of students are interested in studying abroad. Already, 87 education institutions have signed up, committing to removing barriers such as funding and credit transfer.

One million reasons to follow Study in New Zealand
The SiNZ social media community includes Facebook, Twitter, Weibo, WeChat, Instagram and Snapchat.
Olivia Silverwood, ENZ’s International Social Communities Manager, said while the one million milestone is a big achievement, the engagement from followers is just as good a reason to celebrate.
“In the education sector, even 1% engagement is seen as successful. Over the past 12 months, we have seen an average 8% engagement with Study in New Zealand’s social media content,” said Olivia.
“We know our followers are engaged and enthusiastic about New Zealand education and it’s positive to see results reflect this.”
Engagement is a measure of how users interact with content, such as sharing a Facebook post, retweeting a tweet, ‘favourite’ an Instagram image or clicking a link to a website. Social media engagement is an important metric as it indicates how effective content is.
To further measure the effectiveness of the social media activity, Olivia has benchmarked the SiNZ Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts against competitors, including Study in Australia, Study in the UK, Education in Ireland, Study Melbourne, Study in Canada and Study in the States.
“SiNZ consistently outranks all competitors’ Facebook and Instagram pages in terms of followers, follower growth, reach and engagement,” said Olivia.
“Our Twitter pages also outrank competitors in all areas except followers, where we are second to Education in Ireland.
“This is a fantastic space to be in and we aim to stay at the top.”
Olivia added that SiNZ wouldn’t have been able to achieve these great results without the student stories from institutions.
“There’s always an opportunity to collaborate more with our institutions’ social media team members,” she said.
If you’re interested in joining a social media working group, please email social@enz.govt.nz.
In the meantime, keep an eye on the SiNZ Facebook page to see how the milestone is being celebrated.

Indian scholars awarded at Auckland summit
The awardees are Indian students currently studying at New Zealand universities in the fields of business, design and STEM-related programmes (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
Some 19 of the total 31 recipients were honoured in person by Tertiary Education Minister Paul Goldsmith at the India New Zealand Business Council (INZBC) Edutech Summit 2017 on 4 August.
They are recipients of the first round of the NZEA awards, which offers each recipient a scholarship of NZ$5,000 towards their first year tuition fees.
Speaking at the summit, ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson said the students were important to New Zealand’s broader relationship with India.
“These top young scholars will further strengthen ties between our two countries by contributing to a broader exchange of ideas in our universities, building our respective research capabilities, and enriching New Zealand culture.”
The summit featured industry heads and policy makers from both countries. Speakers included New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English, Ambarish Datta, Managing Director and CEO of the Bombay Stock Exchange Institute and Mohandas Pai, Chairperson of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry from India.
The 2018 round of NZEA will go live on the Study in New Zealand website on 1 September 2017, with applications closing 15 November 2017.
NZEA is the first joint scholarship scheme between Education New Zealand and all eight New Zealand universities for a specific country.

What’s new in IntelliLab
ENZ’s Intelligence team has added new content to IntelliLab:
- Visa dashboard for December 2017 (full year summary)
- IVY – an interactive visa tool
- Market factsheets (for China, India, Korea, Japan, Columbia, Vietnam)
- International student Barometer survey results for university and ITP sectors
- Updated country forecasts from The Economist Intelligence Unit
IVY contains a wealth of visa information and will replace the 50-page monthly visa trends report (the last visa trends report was November 2017). The monthly visa summary dashboard will continue in its current form.
IVY is updated monthly, so users will need to download a new copy each month to access the most up-to-date information. (Please note: IVY has a large file size, so some patience may be required while we explore ways to improve it.)
Our interactive enrolments tool TED (The Enrolments Data) is being updated. You may notice revised student numbers when comparing student nationalities by New Zealand region – this is due to the large number of unfunded PTE and ELS students now being assigned to regions based on their provider. The top-line numbers, such as total number of students and students by country, remain unchanged.
We appreciate any feedback you may have – please use the ‘contact us’ button on IntelliLab.

What's new in IntelliLab
The visa dashboard has a new look, and now uses valid student visas (VSV) as the lead indicator for student numbers, as VSV is less influenced by external factors such as multiple visas for one student. First time student visas (FSV) is the other key indicator, which reveals the number of new students choosing to study in New Zealand.
More in-depth visa information is now available through IVY, the interactive visa tool. IVY is updated monthly, so users will need to download a new copy each month to access the most up-to-date information.
The interactive enrolments tool TED (The Enrolments Data) has also been updated. You may notice revised student numbers when comparing student nationalities by New Zealand region – this is due to the large number of unfunded PTE and ELS students now being assigned to regions based on their provider’s location. However, the top-line numbers, such as total number of students and students by country, remain unchanged.
