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’.”
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”

ENZ Viet Nam introduces agent-led fairs
Tam Le, ENZ’s Marketing & Strategic Relations Manager for Viet Nam, said the decision is part of her team’s efforts to capitalise on the growing awareness of New Zealand’s education system in the market.
“Viet Nam’s academic year starts in late August and ends in late May, creating two key recruitment windows for international education: one in March/ April and one in September/ October.
“It is important to promote New Zealand in these months, and while ENZ previously led the fairs in the March recruiting season, we would like to leverage the resources from one of our top local education agents for the September season.”
Together with Immigration New Zealand, ENZ’s Viet Nam team identified a number of potential education agents and conducted a “pitching process” to select the most competitive proposal.
The chosen education agent, L&V Education Consultancy, will work directly with the education providers for the events in September, in consultation with ENZ where required.

New Zealand’s education on Vietnamese national television
A documentary called New Zealand: The road to knowledge, recently played on VTV4, one of Viet Nam’s national TV stations.
Tam said it is great to see New Zealand’s education offering introduced to Vietnamese audiences – especially on a national channel.
The documentary highlights the requirements needed to apply for New Zealand institutions and provides key information about life in New Zealand such as accommodation options, public transport and extra-curricular activities.
It also includes interviews with the New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam, university representatives, alumni and current students.
Celebrating 60-year friendship with Malaysia
The celebration, which involved ENZ, Tourism New Zealand and New Zealand Trade & Enterprise as well as the High Commission, was held over five days at the Pavilion Shopping Mall in Kuala Lumpur.
The aim of the event was to bring New Zealand’s rich and varied culture, art, tourism, education, and food and beverage to Malaysia in a creative and engaging way.
ENZ had a prominent spot at the event, attracting a number of visitors. ENZ delivered four presentations and held three Skype sessions with Malaysian undergraduate students currently studying at University of Canterbury and Victoria University of Wellington. A PhD researcher from the University of Canterbury also spoke online to prospective Malaysian students and parents in attendance.
Margaret Low, ENZ Education Advisor based in Kuala Lumpur, said it was fantastic to be part of DANZ to celebrate bilateral relations with Malaysia as well as promote New Zealand’s education offering to local students.
“The event provided us with an amazing platform to share the New Zealand education story to a huge audience,” said Margaret.
“Our current Malaysian students also provided outstanding testimonials about their experiences in New Zealand and spoke glowingly about their unique study experience.”
Visitors at the event enjoyed a virtual reality experience featuring beautiful New Zealand landscapes and the New Zealand education system as well as samples of top New Zealand food and beverage products.

‘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.

Australian fair offers global gateway for Kiwi Edtech
Although Australia is not a traditional student attraction market for New Zealand, its proximity to us as well as its size, recent digital education reforms in the wake of COVID 19, and its links to the rest of the world, create opportunities for our education technology products and services community.
This was the first time ENZ participated with edtech companies as a group in this two-day conference and expo. With more than 11,000 attendees, 250 speakers, 250 exhibitors and 10 sub conferences (including one on edtech innovation,) EduTECH 2022 is the most comprehensive cross-sector event for education in the southern hemisphere. It brings together ‘educators and solution providers to exchange and explore ideas, techniques, and technology, with the aim of improving teaching, training and learning and raising the education standards in Australia and the world.’
ENZ worked closely with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) to maximise the overall impact for New Zealand Inc from the event, with both organisations supporting edtech companies to take part.

Six of NZTE’s focussed edtech customers (Orah, iUgo, Hero, Banqer, StepWeb and EdPotential) were hosted in a NZTE Pavilion at EduTECH. ENZ also supported seven edtech companies keen to explore opportunities in Australia: Learn English Live, Chasing Time English, Language Fuel, ByteEd, Kai's Education, Pacific Kids' Learning and TTRO. Two other New Zealand companies, Education Perfect and MyMahi, also participated independently.

In the spirit of collaboration, ENZ hosted an event at the NZTE Pavilion that enabled all 15 companies to connect with a number of Australian education providers as well as with NZTE, to share ideas and insights about edtech opportunities for New Zealand in Australia.
ENZ’s delegation also took part in the local Australian Education Technology Association’s ‘Pasta with Peers’ informal dinner, an opportunity to connect with over 200 Australian edtech founders and CEOs.
“I found the conference really valuable - we actually picked up a series of Indigenous schools to connect in with our Indigenous programme for next year so that was great,” says Will Clarke, Learn English Live co-founder and director.
“EduTech Australia is where it’s happening this week! Lots of information to absorb and great insights on all things edtech! It’s been awesome meeting and spending time with like-minded people who are working hard to build their businesses and brand outside of NZ. With the support of ENZ and the introduction to the NZTE team here, the future looks bright for Pacific Kids Learning,” says Evo Leota-Tupau, founder of Pacific Kids Learning.
Aotearoa’s edtech community is increasingly being recognized for the valuable contribution it makes to international education around the world, says Alana Pellow, Business Development Manager at ENZ.

“For example, it was great to see two edtech companies being included in the Prime Minister’s recent trade mission to Australia, while several edtech exporters featured in Minister Hipkins’ recent international education engagements in the Americas.”
Following ENZ’s successful participation in EduTECH2022, Ms Pellow is keen to explore further opportunities to bring the collective energy and momentum of the edtech sector together, to support its contribution to international education and the outcomes for learners.
More information:
- Aotearoa EdTech Excellence white paper 2021, developed by EdTechNZ in partnership with ENZ, says that more than 90% of New Zealand edtech businesses export or have ambition to export, with the main markets being the United States (26%) and Australia (24%).
- Education 2030 , a report by HolonIQ, includes predictions about the future growth of the global education market and the role of technology.
- Australia Perception Research 2022 | New Zealand Story Group (nzstory.govt.nz), a webinar by NZStory, suggests Australia is one of the most accessible international markets for New Zealand businesses to enter, and highlights Australia’s growing admiration for the values it perceives New Zealand represents – particularly our leadership and indigenous journey. Our te ao Māori values of manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga resonate deeply with both Australian consumers and businesses.
Summer in Aotearoa New Zealand – Explore, have fun and stay safe!

Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) is supporting students to explore New Zealand this summer with an emphasis on staying safe during their holiday break.

NauMai NZ has dedicated pages on outdoor safety, water safety, road safety and the New Zealand climate, supporting students to prepare for their activities over the summer. NauMai NZ also has information on the cities and regions of New Zealand, along with recommendations of things to do and see and how to get there.

ENZ reminds students to keep themselves safe from scams. If students have lost money in a scam or have been the victim of an online scam where threats have been made against them, they can contact the NZ Police who are here to help. Phone 105 or report online.

Summer is a great opportunity to take a break from study and find time to relax and explore our beautiful country. There is plenty to see and do in New Zealand but students can also take steps to stay safe, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. NauMai NZ is here to help them.

Happy summer holidays!
Announcing closing plenary speaker for NZIEC KI TUA 2024

Drawing on his experience leading health care organisations and the health system in Aotearoa New Zealand, including during periods of significant change and uncertainty, Sir Ashley’s closing plenary session will focus on how to lead effectively now and in the future. He will talk to NZIEC KI TUA delegates about ‘leading through change and uncertainty’.

“We live in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, which needs leaders to be agile and adaptable who can lead using different approaches than what we have used in the past. I am looking forward to speaking at NZIEC KI TUA on how we can lead in a world of rapid change and complexity,” Sir Ashley said.

Lead with Stories workshop by Jehan Casinader

Award-winning journalist and speaker, Jehan Casinader, will run a workshop, Lead with Stories at NZIEC KI TUA on 7 August. Casinader has spent 15 years telling compelling stories that resonate with people from all walks of life. He has a thorough understanding of New Zealand’s international education sector – and a degree in public policy.

Casinader says storytelling makes global influence possible.

“As New Zealand revives its international education sector, leaders and organisations will work harder than ever to engage the hearts and minds of students and partners around the world.

“However, in an increasingly noisy digital world, it’s harder to grab people’s attention.

"Traditional marketing no longer cuts it. And yet, many of us lack the confidence and skills to tell stories – or we’re afraid to. As a result, our most important messages are never heard,” Casinader says.

In his workshop, Casinader will share practical tools that helps leaders and staff from across the sector to tell compelling stories.

The NZIEC KI TUA 2024 programme will be available in July.
