  • NZ education features in Malaysia newspaper

    “New Zealand offers one of the top-ranked education systems in the world,” said Jane Goh, Education New Zealand (ENZ) Marketing and Strategic Relations Manager in Kuala Lumpur.

    “Unfortunately, the strengths of the New Zealand education system go relatively unrecognised or have low awareness in Malaysia, especially compared with its growing popularity in China and India.”

    Jane said this represents a significant opportunity in Malaysia for institutions prepared to invest time and effort into student recruitment and partnership development. She called Malaysia “a promising but largely untapped” market.

    “Malaysia is not only a vibrant market for recruiting international students but it is a popular international studying destination for Asian students and students from Islamic countries.”

    Jane said there needed to be a consistent, industry-wide strategic approach taken to the Malaysia market to highlight New Zealand education quality.

    “We decided to invest in a promotional project that included a series of key messages about New Zealand education, current students and alumni stories, as well as an overall picture of studying and living experience in New Zealand.”

    ENZ played a major role in this project and worked closely with The Star, the largest local English newspaper in circulation.

    “We wrote the content and edited several interviews into stories. The key intent was to position New Zealand as a world-class education destination.

    “We wanted the market to know about our internationally renowned universities, our learning experience and to hear from Malaysian students who have studied in New Zealand.”

    Jane said she was pleased to get support from the University of Auckland, Canterbury University, Lincoln University, University of Otago and Southern Institute of Technology. These universities contributed their angle of story and paid for advertising.

    The feature was published in late July, just before the series of NZ Education Fair and roadshows in Malaysia.

    “We then continued this effort with a media roundtable on the 2 August, to discuss the importance of holistic education in today’s employment market.”

  • Charles Finny's address to the India New Zealand Business Council

    92112 CFinny6504

    Charles Finny

    India and New Zealand have been friends and trading partners for a long time, and thanks to our Commonwealth heritage, our democratic tradition, and our shared love of cricket, we have much to celebrate.

    The Indian community here adds richness and vibrancy to New Zealand life, through great food, music, art and sport, diverse business ties, and annual festivals such as Diwali.

    New Zealand’s economic future is very much tied to our key trading partners. India is currently our 10th largest trade partner, and the Government’s vision is for India to become a core trade, economic and political partner. The importance of the relationship is reflected in the visit in April of the President of the Republic of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee and, of course, our Prime Minister John Key will visit India later this month.

    We have been negotiating a Free Trade Agreement bilaterally for several years and we are both part of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

    One of the strongest parts of our relationship is in international education.   Last year international education was probably the largest single item exported from New Zealand to India.

    India is, and will continue to be, an important part of New Zealand’s international education strategy. 

    Every day, tens of thousands of Indian international students, alongside other international students, are helping New Zealand to build our research capability and global linkages, to fill skill shortages and enrich New Zealand culture.

    The India New Zealand Business Council is a valued partner in our international education strategy. A number of education providers and immigration and education consultants are Council members, and all members play an important role in ensuring Indian international students have a positive experience in New Zealand. You do this not only through recruiting and employing them in your businesses, but also in providing leadership in upholding high standards when it comes to their treatment and welfare.

    Many members of our Indian community have come to live in New Zealand after studying here. If we can continue to work together on skill development (and I’ll touch more on this later), then the transfer of knowledge, innovation and best practice will not only benefit the individuals involved but also our respective countries.

    Countries that have innovative and skilled workforces prosper and it is the education system of a country that nurtures those skills.

    The education experience that New Zealand offers is first rate. Our universities are world-class – all eight are rated in the top 3% globally, and we offer quality qualifications and hands-on vocational learning through our institutes of technology and private providers.

    This quality has clearly been recognised by the Indian student audience, as we have experienced significant growth over the last three years – from 13,000 to 29,000 students between 2013 and 2015.

    Such growth has demonstrated New Zealand’s strength as a world-class education destination, but it has also created some challenges as we adjust to manage this demand. I will spend some time outlining how the Government is ensuring a sustainable education sector – particularly for our Indian students and stakeholders.

    Our education system has strong government oversight, a commitment to continuous improvement and we place student success and wellbeing front and centre.

    We do this through a comprehensive framework of support, and many of us have a role to play here. These include the main government agencies, Education New Zealand, Ministry of Education, New Zealand Qualifications Authority, Tertiary Education Commission and Immigration New Zealand.

    Other key players include education providers and the agents they use, employers and businesses, community and ethnic groups and other support services.

    This extends also to our bilateral relationship – we have regular catch ups with the High Commissioner of India to New Zealand, Mr Sanjiv Kohil.

    All of us have a collective responsibility to ensure the experience of our international students is a positive one and results in positive outcomes for them and ultimately for our businesses and New Zealand society and economy.

    We welcome international students who come here with genuine intent and means. But New Zealand, like any sovereign country, will take steps to protect our borders and deal decisively with fraudulent or unlawful behaviour when we see it.

    Immigration New Zealand has invested heavily in intelligence gathering and verification support resources for immigration officers in India. As a result they have become more aware of risk and fraud in the market. 

    The visa decline rates from India are evidence of a significant effort by Immigration NZ to manage students and agents who submit false and misleading information in visa applications.

    Immigration New Zealand is doing a lot of work to educate providers about student selection, and the need to manage their agent networks.

    Immigration New Zealand and the Immigration Advisers Authority also ran a campaign in India earlier this year encouraging people to use a New Zealand licensed immigration adviser if they are seeking assistance to come to New Zealand.

    I think it’s important to acknowledge at this stage too that New Zealand is not alone in facing issues of student visa fraud and dishonest agent behaviour. The United States, Canada, Australia and other countries all face the same challenges.

    New Zealand government agencies are committed to acting in a fair and reasonable manner when dealing with students affected by issues of provider quality, or when students’ personal circumstances are, for a variety of reasons, less than straight-forward. Each student is dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

    The New Zealand Qualifications Authority, for example, is working with a group of former IANZ Level 6 students who were required to undertake reassessment to confirm their preparedness for study at another provider, EDENZ. More than 210 students will need extra support and assistance to get them to a standard where they can continue their studies. This is being provided to students at no additional cost so that they can move on from this period of change and continue their studies.

    And, throughout this process, advice, support and counselling is being made freely available to all of the affected students.

    Some of the issues that international students are experiencing are an important reminder that the majority of our international students are young adults, not only crossing geographical divides, many for the first time, but more often than not, cultural divides, away from the familiarity and care of family and friends.

    The New Zealand government agencies I mentioned earlier are working closely together on these issues, to ensure all international students are treated fairly and are well cared for – that they feel welcome, are safe and well, enjoy a high-quality education and are valued for their contribution to New Zealand.

    This joint-agency work on international student wellbeing has focused in recent months on Auckland where the majority of international students are located. It has involved a wide range of community meetings and student focus groups to ensure student needs and concerns are being heard and addressed.

    We must maintain high standards across our international education industry. Equally, we are determined not to let the actions of a small number of individuals damage the reputation of an entire community, nor devalue the contribution that students from India and elsewhere, and our education providers, make to New Zealand.

    Most providers are doing a very good job for their students. Satisfaction rates among students surveyed by the International Student Barometer in 2014 and 2015 ranged from 88% to 94% as being satisfied or very satisfied with their overall experience at their New Zealand institution.

    Government agencies are working with providers to address any issues with quality, including insisting they work with reliable education agents in India.

    Agents play a key role at the beginning of a student’s international education journey in ensuring that the students are informed and make the right choices, and know what to expect as a student in New Zealand.

    The reality is, the seeds of what will be a positive or negative international student experience are often sown before the student has even left India.

    Education agents are central to the Indian market, with more than 90% of Indian students using agents when applying to study in New Zealand. There are thousands of agents in India, and the Government is promoting the use of high-performing agents through:

    • Education providers having a responsibility for agent performance and advice under the revised Code of Pastoral Care, which I’ll talk more about shortly
    • Education New Zealand and Immigration New Zealand providing more information on agent performance to education providers and students, including through the Immigration New Zealand website
    • Education New Zealand revising the ENZ Recognised Agencies programme, to ensure we better support and promote the use of high-quality agents in markets such as India.

    I’m interested too in your thoughts as to what we can do together – at both a government and business level – to ensure that Indian students are working with genuine agents? Perhaps that’s something we can discuss at the end of this address.

    The onus is also on students to ensure they have the financial means to support themselves in their study, and to take responsibility for understanding the requirements to study in New Zealand, including the immigration requirements. When students apply for a visa, they must sign their application as a true and accurate record and have the documents to support their application.

    The cross-agency wellbeing work I mentioned earlier complements the pastoral care Code of Practice which New Zealand was the first country to introduce and which was recently strengthened with effect from 1 July.

    Only education providers who are approved signatories to the Code are allowed to enrol international students. To maintain this privilege, they are expected to meet high standards of service delivery, in accordance with the Code.

    The strengthened Code now means that providers are directly accountable for the behaviour of their agents. Expectations include carrying out reference checks of agents, having a written contract with agents, actively monitoring agents and terminating contracts where there is evidence of misleading, deceptive or illegal behaviour, or where an agent is breaching the Code. The focus is on creating sustainable growth by prioritising higher value, higher quality students.

    Tough sanctions are now available to deal with providers who fail to manage their agents, including the removal of the right to enrol international students. Enforcing the Code is the responsibility of NZQA who are working closely with Immigration New Zealand to ensure providers proactively comply with the Code.

    At the same time, as I mentioned earlier, international students also have an obligation to come here with genuine intent – that their primary purpose is to study, and they have the means to do so.

    Working in New Zealand while studying is a way to complement the classroom skills they learn and to really engage with New Zealand’s everyday life. It is not intended as a lifeline to cover living costs.

    Not having enough money to support themselves creates vulnerable students who are easy to exploit.  This is the reason why Immigration New Zealand has a minimum level of fund requirement for international students to cover their time here.

    And of course when students do get jobs, New Zealand employers have a legal and moral responsibility to uphold New Zealand employment law, to pay for hours worked and to honour the minimum wage. Everyone in New Zealand has the right to protection through minimum work rights.

    I urge Council members to show leadership in modelling and upholding these rights in the Indian community, in your businesses and through your wider networks.

    We continue to encourage individuals to come forward if they have specific examples of exploitation. This is the only way we can address these issues.

    The support and input of the New Zealand communities of our international students is also vital to good outcomes.

    INZBC has a crucial role to play in helping to bridge the gap that may exist through differing cultural contexts, where, for example, some international students aren’t aware that their rights in New Zealand are protected.

    I’d like to applaud the contribution of INZBC members who acknowledge the opportunities that a New Zealand education can offer Indian students in terms of skills and knowledge transfer.

    To be truly successful we need to attract students who have the best potential for positive outcomes to New Zealand. These are the students coming to New Zealand to study high-value programmes that can put them on the path to further study, or to work in high-demand areas in New Zealand, India or across the world. 

    Our ‘target South’ India strategy focuses on attracting genuine students interested in pursuing high-level qualifications in our education market.

    As part of this strategy we established a presence in Mumbai in early 2015 and have since focused our promotional activities in the south and west of India where students have higher levels of visa approval rates and student mobility.

    This strategy involves promotion across a variety of channels, including digital, social and traditional media, promotional events and scholarship initiatives, academic exchanges, and education fairs.

    Education fairs continue to be a strong recruitment channel for us in India, providing outreach to students and families so they can discuss the benefits of New Zealand as a study destination. These fairs are well supported by industry, with more than 30 New Zealand providers attending each of our fairs this year.

    We will continue to adjust the locations and formats of fairs to anticipate local market conditions, and they remain an important part of ENZ’s India promotional strategy.

    We are trialling new initiatives in-market too. In August, ENZ partnered with New Zealand universities and Indian institutions to host a series of guest lectures by eminent New Zealand academics in cities in South India.

    The lecture series was extremely successful in raising awareness of New Zealand’s technical expertise in the areas of engineering, science and business, and building institutional partnerships between our countries.

    We have also boosted the numbers of scholarships aimed at Indian graduates interested in pursuing post-graduate study here. The New Zealand Excellence Awards, announced mid-year, offer scholarships to 35 Indian scholars at all eight of our universities. There is also the Christchurch Educated Skills Scholarship for India which targets post-graduate students studying courses in skill shortage areas that are directly related to the Canterbury earthquake rebuild.

    In closing, I’d like to repeat how much the social, cultural and economic contribution of Indian students to New Zealand is valued. I want to acknowledge again the Council’s part in that, as well as its important role in demonstrating leadership to the Indian business community when it comes to recruiting, employing and supporting Indian international students.

    While we all play a role in the welfare and outcomes of our international students, we also have a collective responsibility to share and promote the positive contribution that international education makes to our communities.

    As a result of the policy changes that we have already introduced you will notice that the number of Indian students coming to New Zealand will have reduced to levels similar to that we achieved in 2013.  As we solve some of the problems I have discussed today that number may slow further before starting to grow again. 

    Can I end by emphasising that over the longer term we look forward to welcoming as many high quality Indian students who want to come to New Zealand to study higher end qualifications who meet our entry criteria.  We look forward to working in India and here with stakeholders such as the INZBC to ensure that we have a sustainable level of Indian students in New Zealand and that this vital part of the bilateral relationship is not put further at risk by the actions of a few.

    Thank you.

  • Kiwi innovation shines in the Expo Hall

    To expand US perceptions of New Zealand beyond tourism and adventure, New Zealand’s presence at NAFSA showcased Kiwi innovation and creativity, with the campaign line New Ideas Grow Better Here.

    Thirteen New Zealand institutions, including all eight universities, featured on the New Zealand pavilion. Each chose a creative or innovative student project to highlight, ranging from a fully recyclable electric car to New Zealand’s first virtual reality movie. The projects were shown on the pavilion and printed in ENZ’s NAFSA guide book which was handed out to all conference delegates.

    Kaylee noticed that innovation was a key word for a number of countries. 

    “India, Ireland, Portugal, Europe, Malaysia and Germany all included taglines about innovation on their booths – but their storytelling wasn’t as compelling as our own.

    “By using real student stories, we were able to communicate ‘innovation’ in a more authentic way and really bring the messaging to life – we showed how students in New Zealand ‘Think New’.”

    IMG 1512

    Kaylee said touring the NAFSA Expo Hall was a great opportunity to consider New Zealand’s education offering.

    “Visiting other booths gave us a sense of competitor country education branding and messaging, which is important for understanding how we can uniquely position the New Zealand education story.

    “It’s difficult not to sound biased but the New Zealand pavilion had the most brand personality, and stood out above the other country booths in terms of impact, thanks to our strong and unified presence.

    “A number of conference delegates said New Zealand set the bar high!”

    Other country taglines at NAFSA were:
    Spain: “Education, Our Art”
    Israel: “Jumpstart your Future”
    Germany: “Land of Ideas”
    Poland: “Study and be successful”
    Russia: “Learn from everyone, copy nobody”
    Ireland: “The warmest of welcomes”
    Canada: “A world of possibilities”

  • New Zealand universities showcased to global education leaders at QS India Summit 2025

    The initiative was well aligned with ENZ’s goal to build global connections for New Zealand education and explore solid opportunities that will help New Zealand thrive through world-class international education.  

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), along with the University of Canterbury, University of Waikato and Massey University made an impactful presence across a range of sessions and workshops.  

    The summit had the New Zealand contingent showcase the quality of our universities and engage in discussions focused on university-industry collaborations, workforce development, global research leadership, while discussing the importance of building resilient, education institutions that can adapt to a rapidly changing world. 

    Prof. Neil Quigley, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Waikato, exploring India’s leadership in cost-efficient R&D and its role in supporting global partnerships to address pressing challenges at the QS India Summit 2025.

    ENZ’s Director of Engagement, East Asia & India, Jugnu Roy, led a discussion on aligning curricula with emerging job market demands to better prepare students for global careers. 

    ENZ’s Jugnu Roy discussed how universities could drive social and economic impact beyond their primary roles of teaching and research at the QS India Summit 2025.

    Considering how well recognised New Zealand universities are globally, with all eight ranked in the top 2 percent in the 2025 QS World University Rankings, the QS Summit was an opportunity for New Zealand education to strengthen its relationships with key global and Indian education leaders, Jugnu said  

    “New Zealand universities are also known for their sustainability stewardship, with our universities ranking first for sustainability stewardship and second for sustainability outreach in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2024. 

    “Within this context, the summit was a strong platform for us to share best practices and explore new avenues for collaboration between New Zealand and India. 

    “We look forward to collaborating with global and Indian leaders in education to shape a brighter future together.” 

  • Event season in Viet Nam

    Two alumni networking events had more than 200 registrations, as well as the participation of Immigration New Zealand (INZ) and New Zealand Aid, who answered queries from students and parents about studying in New Zealand.

    Several seminars were held alongside the fairs to discuss student visas, the New Zealand curriculum and NCEA, and the NZ ASEAN Scholar Awards. The seminars drew significant interest with the rooms full for most of the day.

    Ben Burrowes, ENZ’s Regional Communications & Strategic Relations Manager for South East Asia, said it was fantastic to see so much interest in the seminars.

    “It was clear that the students and parents had already conducted their own research and had come prepared with specific questions on programmes of study and life as a student in New Zealand.”

    The Hanoi agent seminar, held on 17 March, included student visa updates from INZ, followed by education agent training and “speed meetings” between local agents and New Zealand education providers.

    The events were accompanied by a comprehensive public relations programme that resulted in good coverage in Vietnamese media. Some 15 local media members attended a media briefing in Ho Chi Minh City, seizing the opportunity to interview two Vietnamese alumni and Ben.

    The ENZ team also conducted an online chat with vnexpress.net, a top online news website in Viet Nam with over one million views per month. During the two-hour live chat session, questions were put to panel members Ben, Chris Klaassen (Chair of SIEBA), Giang Nguyen (University of Waikato’s SEA Regional Manager), and Lucy Nguyen (SIT’s International Marketing Officer for Vietnam). They answered nearly 60 questions ranging from New Zealand’s quality of education, the transferability of qualifications, the high school system and NCEA. After the live chat, the answers remained on the news site and were syndicated by many other online sources.

    Ben said the number of questions put to the panel was a positive sign.

    “A number of questions asked for comparisons between New Zealand and some of our stronger competitors – a further testament to the growing market awareness of New Zealand,” he said.

    Air New Zealand was among the events’ partners, providing two sets of return tickets to New Zealand at the fairs.

  • ENZ success at the NZ Direct Marketing Awards

    It is the first time in the Awards’ history that one organisation has taken out all of the top honours. ENZ was also awarded a further seven golds, three silvers and one bronze across a variety of categories.

    The awards, which celebrate excellence in digital, database and direct marketing, recognised ENZ's database marketing strategy over the past 18 months, including its Study in NZ database marketing programme, MyStudyNZ member website and Future Proof Yourself campaign.

    Each was delivered with the support of SpeakData, ENZ’s data partner, and OMD, ENZ’s media partner.

    ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson was delighted with the agency’s success.

    “We’ve made a fundamental shift from promotions, events and limited fact-to-face interactions to a sophisticated digital marketing approach that is truly global that is an asset for New Zealand education providers involved in international education.

    “We want to attract students who choose New Zealand for the value of our education offering and contribute to New Zealand and our society by helping us grow our understanding and connections with the world.” 

    Paul Irwin, ENZ’s General Manager Student Marketing, said ENZ’s digital approach matched the key audience that New Zealand needed to connect with – students.

    “The current generation of students live and breathe in a digital world. Today’s students expect to be able to find what they need on-line and this is playing a key role in their decision making,” said Paul

    “Our digital approach connects students to education offerings that are optimally suited to their interests and ambitions. This helps them have the best possible experience living and studying in New Zealand and boosts employment outcomes.”

    The NZDM Awards are one of two key annual New Zealand marketing award events and are run by the New Zealand Marketing Association.

    This was the first time ENZ entered the awards, competing against many of New Zealand’s biggest corporates, including Spark, Westpac, ANZ, Vodafone and Air New Zealand.

  • Thai delegation signs MOUs with two NZ universities

    Education New Zealand’s Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) Programme Manager, Jaruwan Pongjaruwat, led the Thai delegation from Rajamangala University of Technology (RMUT) and Silpakorn University (SU). The delegation visited several universities and Te Pūkenga business divisions across both the North and South islands in the last week of May.

    Jaruwan said that the main aim of the visit was to facilitate a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing between RMUT and the University of Otago and between SU and the University of Canterbury. It also proved a good opportunity to further develop the relationship that these offshore partners have with Te Pūkenga.

    “It was an absolute pleasure to accompany this group of senior officials from RMUT and SU around New Zealand. The visit gave the RMUT delegation members an opportunity to revisit institutions which they have previously partnered with for student and teacher mobility projects, including Wintec, Weltec and Otago Polytechnic.

    RMUT and SU delegates see how Wintec manages engineering material and resources across different disciplines.

    “It also provided an opportunity for our delegation to visit new education providers such as the University of Waikato and the University of Canterbury to learn more about the areas in which these institutions excel. They particularly enjoyed learning more about what each institution has to offer and seeing how New Zealand education providers link research to commercial products and services. On top of that, delegates also had the opportunity to visit Weta Workshops and have dinner at Bellamy's restaurant in The Beehive whilst in Wellington," said Jaruwan.   

    Thai delegates visiting the University of Canterbury’s Faculty of Engineering

    It is hoped that this visit will lead to future projects in the areas of teacher development, articulation programmes, student mobility and a joint foundation programme. The joint foundation programme will now be extended to cover students studying science and health science, allowing students a pathway to all eight New Zealand universities.

  • Your chance to "Connect" with ENZ 2017

    ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson and General Manager Industry Development, Greg Scott will lead each session, visiting seven New Zealand cities next month to bring the international education conversation to industry professionals.

    Greg says Connect is a great opportunity for providers to hear about current developments in international education and to learn about ENZ’s strategic direction, developments and how to utilise these in their own organisations.

    “Most importantly, it’s a chance for providers to tell us what’s important to them and how we can better support their future growth.

    “We’re aiming to have the seminars be as interactive as possible, using the collective insights and experience of everyone in the room to address challenges and consider how best to make the most of developments and opportunities.”

    Greg encourages all institutions to register for their local Connect seminar, and recommends coming prepared with top-of-mind questions to discuss in order to get the most out of the day.
