APAIE: International education critical for Asia’s diplomacy, ambitions
International education in Asia Pacific has been a critical diplomacy tool for the region – one that is becoming all the more essential given the tempestuous global political landscape. Fostering a global outlook among students and facilitating people-to-people exchange is crucial, and international education can achieve what politicians are unable to, building positive relations between people and even countries, where relations are poor.
JAPAN
Push for foreign students to stay on to work in Japan
It is now a top priority that international students attending Japanese universities stay on in the country, with the government offering new incentives such as subsidised company internships, help with finding jobs on graduation, stepped-up Japanese language courses and more streamlined processes for work visas after graduation.
GERMANY
Germany is 'best country for international students', above UK
When students think about studying in a foreign country, their destination of choice tends to be either the United Kingdom or the United States, but a new study argues that Germany is now the best option for international students in Europe. The study ranked 30 European countries according to education, costs, life and career. Germany came on top with a total score of 83.2 out of 100 – far ahead of the UK, which scored 69.8.

New Zealand universities continue to top world sustainability rankings
The 2025 QS World University Rankings: Sustainability were released yesterday, highlighting that New Zealand’s universities continue to lead the way when it comes to environmental, social and governance sustainability. The rankings by QS Quacquarelli Symonds are in their third year and measure an institution’s ability to tackle the world’s greatest sustainability challenges.
New Zealand came out top country overall based on the average score of our universities for Environmental Impact and Governance, in addition to the Equality and Environmental Education lenses (among countries with at least eight universities ranked). This is good news for universities as they look to attract students to their campuses especially as QS Destination: Australia and New Zealand report 2024, found that 63% of students interested in studying in New Zealand say environmental sustainability was very or extremely important.
Ben Sowter, QS Vice President, said: “New Zealand’s higher education sector has long been a world leader in sustainability and this year’s results show yet again that the country punches above its weight, surpassing many of its international competitors.
“However, this year’s results also show that universities in other countries are improving their sustainability efforts, with New Zealand’s institutions advised to enhance their offers in areas of governance, employability and outcomes and health and wellbeing.”
The 2025 rankings showcase over 1,740 universities from 107 countries and territories. This reflects significant growth from last year’s rankings which included 1,397 institutions across 95 locations and more than 1,000 institutions since the inaugural rankings in 2022.
Jessica Turner, CEO of QS said that “The QS Sustainability Rankings provide a critical benchmarking tool for universities to evaluate their progress across areas such as knowledge exchange, equality, environmental impact, and governance. As more institutions engage with this framework, the increasing competitiveness of the ranking reflects the growing commitment globally to advancing sustainability in higher education.”
The full rankings can be found on the QS website here: QS World University Rankings: Sustainability.*

Aotearoa welcomes New Zealand Schools Scholarships students from Viet Nam
14 high-achieving Vietnamese students will be arriving in Aotearoa New Zealand over the next few months to take up school placements across the country from Kerikeri to Upper Hutt, from Ōtūmoetai to Manawatū.
NZSS is the flagship initiative under the Aotearoa New Zealand School Sector Strategy in Viet Nam. It was launched in 2019 and is exclusively offered to Vietnamese students from Grade 8 – 10. Since its launch NZSS has grown to become a prestigious, top of mind scholarship for local students.
Nguyen Huy could not make it for the in-person Awards Ceremony in HCMC, so we arranged a special meet-up for his family at the Embassy in Hanoi with Ambassador Tredene Dobson, who awarded him with the NZSS certificate.
ENZ’s Business Development Manager, Mary Camp said that the scholarship programme not only offers talented Vietnamese students the opportunity to experience our country’s world-class education but also brings new perspectives and ways of thinking to Kiwi students as they learn alongside international friends.
“Schools in Aotearoa New Zealand are excited to welcome these top scholars from Viet Nam. Previous scholarship winners have had great academic success, made valuable contributions to their schools in NZ, and have gone on to attend top quality universities in NZ and internationally” added Mary.
This year’s award winners were celebrated at a ceremony on 18 June in Ho Chi Minh City where H.E Tredene Dobson, New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam opened the awards ceremony and pre-departure briefing and congratulated all the students.

ENZ’s Regional Director for Asia, Mr Ben Burrowes also congratulated the students via video link and said it was fantastic to have a range of ex-scholarship winners and parents join us to share their tips and advice to this year’s winners.
“ENZ is absolutely committed to its relationship with Viet Nam and we are excited to welcome the NZSS recipients this year. The NZSS programme is designed so that more Vietnamese school students can access a world-class New Zealand education experience. As we saw pre-COVID, the NZSS recipients received the highest quality education and care while they were in New Zealand and that will certainly continue in 2023,” said Mr Burrowes.
A special thanks goes to the VSANZ - Vietnamese Students' Association in New Zealand for its President's presentation on the Pre-Departure Checklist and the NEW tips.
Ms Ha An Nguyen, President of VSANZ, shared useful tips for NZSS students to get well-prepared for the new learning journey in New Zealand.
We wish these students the absolute best for an exciting and rewarding study experience ahead as they start school across the country this week and in the coming months.

Education Products & Services
Overview
Education products and services (EPS) companies are an important part of Aotearoa New Zealand’s international education industry, supporting learners and education at all ages and levels in New Zealand and around the world.
More than ever before, EPS companies are supporting and informing the way education is consumed around the world. Students benefit from more individualised digital learning content, while education systems benefit from more dynamic, fit for purpose education tools and services specifically designed and aligned to meet curriculum requirements.
With the ability to develop ‘weightless technology-based resources and tools’, EPS can now have a low environmental impact. Learning and education support need not be ‘place-based’ and the ability to access learning can now be from anywhere, anytime. This in turn supports a more equitable education system, one that can develop confident, well equipped digital citizens around the world.
About the EPS sector
The EPS sector in New Zealand includes education publishers, and education technology (EdTech) companies.
Key capabilities include:
- Platforms for administration, student management, content management and learning management within the education sector
- Digital learning content and services used by learners, education providers and organisations connected to education and learning
- Consultants and advisors with specialist EdTech and educational publishing domain knowledge that support the education sector with expertise on product design, learning design or organisational development
- Digital and print designed and developed curriculum aligned tools from ECE to postgraduate study and lifelong learning.
Education publishers
New Zealand’s education publishers have a proud record of innovation and forward thinking. They are pioneers in early childhood education, reading recovery, big book shared reading, and in the revitalisation of New Zealand’s indigenous language and culture. They have also been early adopters of digital formats and technologies.
They have reached learners and educators in 60 countries, in some cases for more than 40 years. They are also major providers of literacy materials and resources to Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, China and others.
The Publishers Association of New Zealand Te Rau o Tākupa (PANZ) represents 30+ education publishers. PANZ provides learning and development opportunities, professional advice, and national and international representation for its members.

Education technology companies
From New Zealand to the world - it’s a path many New Zealand EdTech companies have followed.
More than 90% of New Zealand EdTech businesses export across the globe. Principal markets are the United States and Australia which account for 50% of exports, followed by Asia and Europe which account for another 30%. The remaining markets span the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
Established in 2017, the Education Technology Association of New Zealand (EdTechNZ) connects, supports and promotes EdTech companies to advance the sector’s ambitions domestically and for export.
A range of EdTech platforms and technologies – from immersive reality platforms (AR, VR, MR) to artificial intelligence (AI) and more – can be found in a number of education categories and tools including:
- Knowledge and content tools
- Education management systems
- Delivery models
- Experiencing learning tools
- Learning support platforms
- Assessment and verification tools
- Workforce skills and talent training and management.

Market insights from Saudi Arabia
The most notable changes have included restrictions to the Saudi scholarships programme, and a renewed focus on increasing the provision of private education to meet future growth in demand. As a result, opportunities ahead will be found in in-country education provision, while changes to the scholarship programme provide an opportunity to position New Zealand well for favoured specialist disciplines.
Saudi Arabia is a ‘promote’ market for Education New Zealand. In 2014, 3,246 Saudi students enrolled with New Zealand providers. Saudi students often progress through English language, foundation courses, bachelor degrees and postgraduate qualifications here. Many New Zealand organisations also offer education services in-market.
Scholarships changes
Saudi Arabia has implemented the largest study-abroad scholarship programme in the world, with up to 180,000 Saudi students being sponsored at any one time.
Students have traditionally entered the scholarship programme either by undertaking three to four months privately funded English language study and then receiving a scholarship from the in-country Cultural Mission (the private-entry pathway), or by receiving a full scholarship in Saudi Arabia (the Saudi-entry pathway).
-
Private entry pathway changes: In February the Saudi Government announced restrictions on the private entry pathway, which had accounted for the majority of scholarship students globally. This restriction requires students to attend a top-100 university (Shanghai JiaoTong rankings) before being admitted. This route had been paused since 2015 – a factor reflected in New Zealand’s first time student visa statistics, which show a reduction in first-time student numbers from March 2015 onwards (brown versus blue line below).
-
Saudi pathway changes: The Ministry has also reformed the Saudi pathway in 2015 by establishing 'your job your scholarship' which links the scholarships to future employment. The timeframes for this scholarship allocation process has been extended to provide for the central management of scholarships by the Ministry of Education (which merged with the Ministry of Higher Education in 2015).
In sum these changes will increase the entry criteria for the scholarships and therefore the overall calibre of Saudi scholarship students, and position New Zealand well for specialist disciplines that are in-demand in the Saudi labour market.
Increasing international and private education within the Kingdom
The recently appointed Minister of Education, Mohammed Al-Isa, has signalled that the Ministry is to review a long-standing ban on foreign universities. The Minister has also signalled in Arabic media that ‘private education will drive growth in the education sector’.
These signals may see growth in the number of private international operators established in the Kingdom. There will also be increasing opportunities for New Zealand providers to meet in-market demand for high quality education provision. Reflecting the importance that the Saudi authorities are placing on international investment, the theme of the April 2016 Ta’leem Exhibition, sponsored by the Ministry of Education, is ‘Investment in Education’.
Education New Zealand’s activities in Saudi Arabia in 2016 include a three-pronged approach to these changing market dynamics:
-
Targeting promotions towards private students, e.g. through the English-language promotional campaign which will focus on students studying abroad over the extended Saudi summer
-
Working directly with the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia Cultural Mission in New Zealand, and sponsor agencies to offer places through the ‘your job your scholarship’ programme, and
-
Supporting New Zealand education organisations to increase the delivery of education services in Kingdom, as the Government tilts its investment towards more ‘in-market’ education solutions and delivery.

Australia
From 1 July 2024, holders of a Visitor Visa in Australia will not be able to apply for a Student Visa onshore, in new rules announced by the Minister for Home Affairs, the Hon Claire O’Neil MP. Temporary Graduate Visa holders will also no longer be able to apply for Student Visas onshore. According to the Minister, these changes are aimed at restricting visa hopping, “ending the loopholes that allow student and other temporary visa holders to continuously extend their stay in Australia”.
Europe
The European Council, composed of national ministers from each EU country, has accepted a recommendation from the European Commission (which proposes and implements policies for the EU), to increase opportunities for European youth to learn, train, and study in other parts of Europe as well as in non-EU countries.
Japan
The annual survey of The Japan Association of Overseas Studies (JAOS) was released in May, providing a baseline indicator of outbound mobility from Japan based on responses from a sample of 40 JAOS member-agencies. Top line results show that outbound student numbers have now recovered to 83% of pre-Covid levels however destination choices continue to shift for Japanese students, and more are choosing to study within Asia.
Latin America
Latin America has become a region of high interest as colleges and universities worldwide seek to diversify their international student population, steering away from the traditional recruitment markets such as Southeast Asia.

After pandemic-induced turbulence in South Africa’s English Language Teaching sector, which saw a decline in memberships, school closures, and more, the country is witnessing a significant market recovery post-Covid.
