Canada
The government of Canada has announced a CAN$1.7 billion scheme to attract international research talent, including scholarships for international doctoral students, as well as funding to recruit established and early career researchers.
The United Kingdom
Franchise providers have been told to “clean up or close down” as the UK government moves to bring the fast-growing sector under mandatory regulation and crack down on “rogue operators” exploiting students and public funds.
America
Just 4% of international students recently surveyed said they felt “very or extremely” safe in the US, as shifting visa rules and hostile immigration policies contribute to a climate of fear on American campuses.
India
The number of Indian students pursuing higher studies abroad has declined for the first time in three years, according to data from Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) released to the Indian parliament.
Global
Times Higher Education’s new report, Towards 2035: Projecting the Future of Global Higher Education, predicts that university-level enrolments will continue to grow through 2035 from their present number (264 million globally), but that those enrolments will be shaped and driven by much different forces than in the past.

CHINA
Why international scholarship programmes are flocking to Asia
In this new era of globalisation, China seems poised to assume a greater leadership role in world affairs. Many fellowship foundations, university leaders and students have recognised this shift and, as a result, international student numbers in China have skyrocketed from 100,000 in 2004 to 400,000 in 2015. It is important that universities support any students keen to study in China by encouraging them to apply their interests during their undergraduate years – including acquiring language skills.
CANADA
Canadian college builds app to help international students settle in
Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) is building an app to guide its first-time international students to Canada with practical living information from housing to clothes. The app will act alongside its website and orientation sessions to better relay information about life on campus and in Canada.
RUSSIA
Russia to simplify visas, boost international student quota to 200,000
The Russian government has upped its international student quota for universities to 200,000 and put in place plans to simplify visas for students. The plans are part of an ongoing drive to boost the global profile of Russian higher education. The number of scholarships awarded to international students to study at Russian universities will also rise from 15,000 to 20,000, covering both tuition fees and a monthly stipend.
U.S.A
A pause in international students?
A new survey reveals that four in 10 U.S. colleges have experienced a decline in international applicants for the Fall 2017 term. The survey of around 250 colleges and universities was conducted in February, and more than three-quarters of institutions surveyed expressed concern about future enrolment. The most significant decline in applicants came from the Middle East, with a reported 39 percent decrease in undergraduate applications and a 31 percent decrease in graduate applications.
GLOBAL
Cultural experience the big driver of study abroad for Generation Z
A new global survey of more than 5,000 students in 27 countries found that six in 10 students between 13 and 18 years old have considered study abroad, with the main motivation being to seek out new cultural experiences – contrasting motivations among college-aged students, who demonstrate a much stronger focus on employability and employment outcomes.

GERMANY
Why Germany educates international students for free
In Germany, international student numbers have risen about 30 percent since 2012. In most countries, this would mean lots of extra cash from hefty tuition fees but, in Germany, students famously learn for free, regardless of where they come from. With international students making up nearly one in 10 students, why does the country choose to pass up tuition from other countries’ young people?
UK
UK aims to double number of students going abroad by 2020
Universities UK International has updated its strategy to boost outward mobility, which includes doubling the number of students who go abroad during their degree to 13.2% of total enrolments by 2020. In 2014/15, 6.6% of full-time, first degree, undergraduate, UK-domiciled students undertook an international placement. The strategy outlines six objectives to achieve the goal, such as building capacity to facilitate outward mobility, sharing best practice, and providing a collective voice for the sector.

IIE’s tips to welcome international students
IIE’s team of experts has pulled together 11 actions to make international students feel welcome. These include using your institution’s social media to share specific messages about your campus; enlisting international students and alumni as ambassadors to reach out to newly admitted students; sending periodic updates about issues of concern such as safety and visas; highlighting student associations and re-examining your print and online materials to make sure they represent the diversity and welcoming nature of your campus.
VIET NAM
Vocational training drains State budget
For many years, thousands of billion đồng have been invested in many vocational secondary schools or technical high schools nationwide. However, many remain idle due to poor student enrolment. Đào Ngọc Dung, Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, admitted that a key reason for the situation is poor planning, saying schools have been built without conducting a survey of the market demand, and failing to meet the actual needs of the country.
INDIA
IIT heads are worried about the quality of India’s engineers
A number of directors from Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) are concerned over the employability of the millions of engineers in the country. The rapid growth of India’s IT industry in the 1990s and 2000s saw thousands of low-quality engineering colleges pop up as an alternative to the IITs, which are notoriously hard to get into. However, without proper training or access to the right curricula, only a quarter of India’s engineers are employable. Experts say what’s needed is education with a more practical and relevant approach to learning.

INDIA
Confusion reigns as GST hits education agents
The overhaul of India's national tax code to a simplified Goods and Services Tax (GST) has led to confusion among education agents about the new law and its implementation. Agents fear their income will be badly hit as they are liable to a new 18 percent GST, and say passing on the extra cost to institutions may be the only option.
US
Growth in international students seeking high school diplomas
The number of international students who come to the US for a high school diploma has more than tripled between 2004 and 2016 to nearly 82,000, according to a new study. Among these students, there is a shift towards enrolling in US high schools directly to earn a diploma rather than entering short-term exchange programmes.

The value of Australian international education has surpassed record levels for the fourth consecutive financial year, growing by over 18.5 percent in 2016/17, according to the latest export data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. But despite the overall growth, some within the industry warned the figures, which only detail the economic impact to the whole of Australia, could be hiding state and sector-level problems.

US students arrive in New Zealand
Amy Rutherford, ENZ’s Director of Education, North America, said studying in New Zealand will be a life-changing experience for these students, and will hopefully create more Kiwi ambassadors in the US.
“We’re working hard in the US to raise the profile of New Zealand as a high-quality education destination, and authentic stories from students who have studied in New Zealand are a great way to do that,” said Amy.
“We also want to see a more diverse group of US students having overseas experiences, and these scholarships are an excellent first step.”
Taylor Weckstein, one of the recipients of the GSA Awards, is studying at the University of Otago. She chose New Zealand as a way to follow in her grandfather’s tracks – literally. After learning about the great hikes he did in New Zealand many years ago, she wanted to share the experience.
US student Josh Golden, the recipient of the Go Overseas New Zealand scholarship, has also begun his semester at the University of Canterbury. As a marine science major with biology and environmental science minors, he wants to explore the geography and wildlife of New Zealand.
“I am simultaneously excited and nervous. I expect to be mesmerized by New Zealand’s natural beauty and culture. I can’t wait to live as a Kiwi this semester!”
Gilman Scholar Angel Geller has also arrived in New Zealand. Her scholarship came from a partnership between ENZ and the US Department of State, which is aimed at diversifying the kinds of students studying internationally.
Angel will explore Māori culture and tribal politics at the University of Waikato and compare them with her experience growing up with UmonHon, her indigenous tribe in Nebraska.
“I did extensive research to find a host site with indigenous-relevant classes on topics from history to language. The University of Waikato has this, as well as resources on how to connect with community members, and a significant Māori student population who I will have as my peers,” said Angel.
You can follow the study adventures of our Kiwi Ambassadors on the Study in New Zealand Instagram, YouTube and Blog.
For more information on scholarships for US students please contact ENZ’s US team, Amy Rutherford or Alanna Dick.

Victoria offers world's first restorative justice MOOC
Restorative Justice and Practice: Emergence of a Social Movement is the latest Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) delivered through VictoriaX, the VUW edX platform.
The course will teach restorative practices while tracing how restorative justice has grown from small beginnings into a wider social movement for change across New Zealand, including in schools, families, workplaces and community agencies.
Course instructor Professor Chris Marshall, Diana Unwin Chair in Restorative Justice in Victoria’s School of Government, hopes the platform’s global reach will amplify the course content.
“Restorative justice is a new lens for looking at the problem of human justice, conflict and wrongdoing. New Zealand has played a key role in this social movement by incorporating restorative practices into our justice, welfare and education systems,” said Professor Marshall.
“This is a great opportunity for New Zealand to promote its pioneering role in incorporating restorative practices in our schools, which play an important role in student disciplinary regimes, as well as in improving student and staff wellbeing generally.”
The course is the third from VUW, which launched Antarctica: From Geology to Human History and New Zealand Landscape as Culture: Islands (Ngā Motu) last year.
Restorative Justice and Practice: Emergence of a Social Movement starts 1 May 2018.
