Japan-New Zealand education ties strengthen with growing collaboration
Signed on 28 June, ENZ’s memorandum of understanding with Waseda University and its affiliate schools will be influential in developing international education exchanges that benefit institutions in Japan and New Zealand at school and tertiary level.
Under the MOU, the first cohort of 12 students from Waseda Jitsugyo School will visit New Zealand schools in mid-July. This will be followed by an ENZ and Air New Zealand-led familiarisation visit to New Zealand schools involving 10 schoolteachers from Japan, including a Waseda University staff member in charge of overseas programmes for its affiliate schools.
ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager – Japan, Misa Kitaoka, said the MOU is a significant one as it helps develop a strong relationship between a prestigious Japanese university, its affiliate schools and New Zealand schools.
“By partnering with one of the top universities in the world, the MOU will not only promote student mobility from Japan but also boost New Zealand’s reputation and credibility in Japan,” Misa said.
“We are keen to replicate this strategic partnership with universities and affiliate schools in Japan’s regions.”
It was also fitting to see this MOU achieved in the lead up to NZIEC 2019 where Japan will feature as Country of Honour, Misa said.
“With the Rugby World Cup about to be held in Asia for the first time in the tournament’s history, it is fantastic to see Japan feature as the Country of Honour at NZIEC.”
The Country of Honour designation celebrates and showcases New Zealand’s international education connections with partner countries. Japan is New Zealand’s third-largest source country with more than 10,000 Japanese students enrolled here every year.
“We look forward to sharing the latest Japan market updates and opportunities with NZIEC delegates in three sessions involving guest speakers from Japan, whose unique insights will present new opportunities for partnerships and collaboration.”
Attendees will learn more about doing business with Japan, what the protocols are and the expectations of Japanese agents, education providers and government agencies. These insights will provide delegates with an overview of Japan’s internationalisation agenda and how it could be relevant to their international relations and marketing.
The conference dinner will celebrate Japan’s fascinating culture. Japanese Ambassador, His Excellency Hiroyasu Kobayashi, will be guest of honour.

International student enrolments continue upward surge
“Enrolments are steadily rising to pre-pandemic levels, with 2024 enrolments (83,425) now at 72 percent of 2019 totals (115,705).
“New Zealand reaps a broad range of economic, social and cultural benefits from having international students in our midst. International education boosts our economy, creates business opportunities, fuels innovation, and delivers essential cross-cultural skills for a more connected world.
“This sustained growth highlights the international education sector’s progress towards achieving the Government’s Going for Growth Plan goal of doubling the export revenue from international education by 2034.
“Universities and government-funded private training establishments (PTEs) are close to matching 2019 enrolment numbers. We are seeing enrolments grow across universities, schools, Te Pūkenga/NZIST, government-funded PTEs, and English language schools subsectors. In 2024, the strongest year-on-year growth was seen at government-funded PTEs (+59%) along with primary (+53%) and intermediate (+32%) schools.
“Universities saw 33,485 total enrolments, schools had 18,350 enrolments, while Te Pūkenga/NZIST and government-funded PTEs each had 10,270 and 10,185 enrolments, respectively.
“More international students are now enrolled for master’s study programmes in New Zealand. Between 2023 and 2024, there has been a 68% increase in master’s enrolments, with 14,695 international students in 2024, up from 8,740 in 2023. This is an 85% increase compared to 2019 when we had 7,945 enrolments for master’s study.
“The overall rise in enrolments at the national level is underscored by a diversity of regions leading strong growth from 2023, including Waikato (+50%), Hawke’s Bay (+44%), West Coast (+185%) and Gisborne (+156%). The Waikato region is notable in that it has seen significant growth across multiple subsectors: universities, Te Pūkenga/NZIST, government-funded PTEs and schools.
“China and India remain the top two source markets for international student enrolments with 34% and 14% enrolments respectively, followed by Japan (9%), South Korea (4%), Thailand (3%), United States of America (3%), Germany (3%), the Philippines (3%) and Sri Lanka (3%),” Malu says.
More information on enrolment numbers can be found here.
Note: All numbers are current as at 1 April 2025. Full numbers have been rounded to the nearest five. One individual may enrol more than once.
Government-funded PTEs are PTEs that receive government student funding for learners who are defined as domestic students under the Education and Training Act 2020 (note that PhD and exchange students are defined as domestic students under the Act).

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.

Viet Nam kickstarts 2021 with series of offline student events
This January, ENZ’s team in Viet Nam sought out a number of opportunities for New Zealand providers to appear at in-person or hybrid events.
ENZ has also participated in a series of multi-destination education fairs organised by SiPM and ATS at three top high schools in Ha Noi, university admission day in the northern Vĩnh Phúc province, and a New Zealand University Fair co-hosted by ENZ at Nguyen Sieu school (a long-standing partner for several New Zealand institutions).
As travel restrictions are still in place around the world, these fairs are not necessarily aimed towards immediate student attraction. ENZ is attending these events as part of the marketing and brand protection work that comes under the third workstream of the Recovery Plan for International Education.
Many attendees expressed a wish to study in New Zealand, especially after learning about our successful COVID-19 response.
“Students and parents are still concerned about safety and political stability, so New Zealand is currently being viewed as an ideal destination for study when border restrictions are lifted,” ENZ Market Manager – Viet Nam, Van Banh, says.
Viet Nam’s economy was heavily impacted by COVID, but data still shows that Vietnam recorded net positive GDP growth in 2020, which is considered an impressive achievement in the present global context. As a result, other study destinations have also kept their promotional activities warm in this market.

“We’re aiming to pique agents’ interest in Wellington as a study destination and create four new experts for the region.
“All entrants will be encouraged to sign up for our new quarterly newsletter that contains tips and resources to help them market Wellington schools and institutions to students.”
To enter, agents need to answer three simple questions about Wellington and propose why they should be picked to win. They must also have current agreements with New Zealand institutions in order to enter.
Agents can submit their entries on this link.

PIF Recipient: Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi
Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi is one of New Zealand’s three wānanga - publicly owned tertiary institutions which provide education in a uniquely Māori cultural context. Awanuiārangi has been engaging internationally for over a decade, delivering postgraduate programmes to Indigenous communities in Washington State and Hawaii, and establishing networks and alliances with Indigenous communities and education providers across the United States.
Now, a new project led by Awanuiārangi is set to accelerate Indigenous education outcomes globally and build on New Zealand’s position as a global leader in postgraduate Indigenous education. ‘Iwi taketake’ (Indigenous people) is a project that will see the development of an international Indigenous curriculum for postgraduate study, covering master’s degrees, postgraduate certificates and diplomas, through to doctoral qualifications.
The target audience for the programme is Indigenous college graduates based at Hawai’i, Washington State, Canada and Australia, with Indigenous college graduates and tribal communities across the United States also in focus. A key objective of the new model is to design an education offering that fits the learner, rather than requiring learners to fit the programme.
Awanuiārangi will take its model of working with local hapū, iwi and their representative organisations in Aotearoa to the four focus areas in the Unites States, where it has already established networks. Iwi taketake will be the result of a co-construction process with Indigenous organisations and potential scholars, with an in-person wānanga (symposium) taking place at each delivery site in the United States.
After the curriculum is developed, endorsed and approved by key stakeholders, Awanuiārangi aims to run Iwi taketake for its first cohort of scholars in 2024, through a blended mix of in-person and online learning across the four sites. The programmes that form the Iwi taketake curriculum may be co-badged - awarded jointly by Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi and partners offshore, such as the University of Washington Tacoma and the University of Hawai’i Maui College.
Awanuiārangi’s model will affirm the notion that postgraduate education can provide Indigenous scholars with pathways for purpose-led careers that benefit people, place and planet. The subject areas and kaupapa (initiatives) covered by the curriculum will be delivered in a culturally safe environment, respecting Indigenous research ethics and methodologies. Scholars will draw learning directly from their own communities with the support of Awanuiārangi and their local delivery partners, ensuring that programmes are highly relevant to learners’ cultural and social contexts.
The collaborative, co-constructed programme will also serve to strengthen Indigenous links and alliances between New Zealand and the United States more generally, and open further opportunities for collaboration and improving educational success in postgraduate study.
Iwi taketake is one of the initiatives supported by the International Education Product Innovation Fund, a New Zealand Government-funded initiative to reimagine what a New Zealand education can look like and mean for global learners. Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao is New Zealand’s government agency dedicated to international education, and is the kaitiaki (guardian) of the Product Innovation Fund.
The Fund is supporting a range of pilot projects that develop and test new education products and services for global learners. Awanuiārangi’s pilot project explores how New Zealand’s strengths in Indigenous education can be delivered to international learners, tailored to Indigenous communities in other countries, and delivered in a blended medium, while uplifting all parties and helping strengthen Indigenous connections and cooperation across the Pacific.

Individual applications for PM’s Scholarships for Asia and Latin America now open
“Following on from the successful group applications, the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia and Latin America are now open to individual applications, and this is the only opportunity for individuals to apply in 2022,” Grant McPherson, Chief Executive, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao said.
These scholarships enable talented New Zealanders who are passionate about supporting local and global communities to add an international dimension to their learning and develop their global citizenship competencies and networks.
“We welcome diverse applicants from all stages and walks of life - you don't need to be a current student, and you don’t need top grades. We are looking for applicants who can display qualities like cultural awareness, initiative, and confidence. Previous scholarship recipients have come from a wide range of backgrounds and have studied in a range of fields, including environmental science, languages, law, the arts, and business.”
More than 2,400 Kiwis have benefited from the programme since 2013, contributing to New Zealand’s ability to engage with key partners in Asia and Latin America.
The Prime Minister's Scholarship is open to New Zealand citizens or permanent residents who are at least 18 years old at the time of application and have been a resident in New Zealand for at least 12 of the previous 24 months.
Scholarship funding can be used to cover, for example, tuition fees to undertake a course in Asia or Latin America, flights to and from Asia and Latin America, living and accommodation costs, travel and medical insurance and visa fees.
More information is available on the Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao scholarship website here. Applications close on 31 August 2022.

Digital skills and global citizenship at #NZAsiaTech Code Camp
A team of six students from Te Kura Māori o Porirua, a predominantly te reo Māori medium school in Porirua, interacted with school students in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Viet Nam, Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
The overall theme was tourism, seen through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) - a theme that is highly relevant for the Asia-Pacific region. Students were given the task of profiling their home country’s SDG initiatives, with a focus on sustainable tourism.
Team Enterprise 12 from Viet Nam work on building website project during #NZAsiaTech Code Camp
The North Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence partnered with educational coding programme Code Avengers and Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao to deliver the event.
“With New Zealand’s borders having been closed for more than two years, it’s crucial that the next generation of students still have opportunities to build cultural competencies and make connections across the globe,” says Education New Zealand’s Regional Director for Asia, Ben Burrowes.
“The #NZAsiaTech Code Camp was an opportunity for Kiwi students to re-establish connections with students in other countries, while gaining critical digital skills to prepare them for the future.
“It also also gave a taste of New Zealand’s education offering to prospective international students from the Asia region, who might consider enrolling in high school or tertiary study in New Zealand in the future.”
Code Camps can help to generate subsequent visits by interested students to New Zealand. For example, the Code Camp held at Waseda Jitsugyo School in 2021 and at Waseda University Junior and Senior High School in 2022 has led to Waseda’s group students’ programme sending around 50 students from three schools to New Zealand for three weeks in March 2023. Code Camp served as a great opportunity for students and teachers from Waseda University affiliated schools to experience our world-class digital education first-hand.
Honam Jeon, the Education Manager at Gangwon International Education Institute said the programme helped increase awareness of New Zealand:
“South Korea is very interested in international engagement and exchange programmes for school students. The #NZAsiaTech Code Camp was a perfect example we want to continue to join. Thanks so much again to ENZ for organising the well-structured programme.”
The online programme included team building exercises, English learning, HTML coding lessons, and the creation of a website by student teams, to demonstrate their understanding of the importance of sustainable tourism.
“As our students look to enter an increasingly globalised word, developing cultural connections and transferable skills is so important,” says Te Kura Māori o Porirua school principal, Whāea Evelyn Wharehinga.
“The Code Camp has been an exciting growth experience for our students, who have extended their digital literacy skills while having the chance to connect with students of different ethnicities and cultures across the Asia-Pacific region.”
Team Indonesia was the winning team after presenting their newly developed website on Sustainable Tourism to a virtual panel of judges.
The students presented their sustainable tourism-themed websites to a panel of expert judges at the awards ceremony on 2 July 2022, with students from Indonesia winning the top prize.
Steve Budd of Code Avengers, a global edtech company based in New Zealand, said it was a great programme to participate in.
“It was a privilege to gift all participants a one-year free subscription to the Code Avengers site as part of our mission to build lasting digital capabilities for educators and young people, and bridge the digital divide,” says Budd.

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.
