Aviation New Zealand heads to Vietnam
Since 2015, New Zealand has been a popular choice for trainee pilots from Vietnam thanks to an Aviation Cooperation Agreement in place between the New Zealand Ministry of Transport and the Vietnamese Ministry of Transportation. Pre-Covid, Vietnam was the third largest source of international pilot cadets to New Zealand and between 2015 and 2022, 126 Vietnamese cadets gained their Commercial Pilots Licences in New Zealand.
New Zealand is now home to four pilot training schools that are audited and approved by the CAAV and Vietnamese airlines. Since the New Zealand border reopened over a year ago, the training schools are once again warmly welcoming back international students from across the globe.
Simon Wallace, Aviation New Zealand Chief Executive, said that the visit by this delegation of New Zealand’s pilot training schools to Vietnam was incredibly important in putting New Zealand back on the radar of Vietnamese students looking to start their professional career as pilots.
Aviation New Zealand Chief Executive, Simon Wallace
“The delegation is showing Vietnam’s pilots of the future, along with Vietnam’s airline industry, why New Zealand continues to be a top training ground for the world’s pilots. With airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, VietJet, Bamboo Airlines and Pacific Airlines all wanting Vietnamese pilots to fly for them, we want to demonstrate why they should train in our schools to help meet this high demand.
“We will also be leveraging this visit to organise an event with representatives from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) following the update of the Aviation Cooperation Agreement that was signed by the former New Zealand Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, during her official visit to Vietnam last November,” said Mr Wallace.
ENZ’s Regional Director, Asia (excluding China), Ben Burrowes added that ENZ was delighted to be supporting Aviation NZ on this visit and the series of events planned from 20 to 24 November would provide a real opportunity to engage, in a coordinated way, with the Government, the aviation regulator and the airlines in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. It also reflects an integrated approach by the New Zealand Government, peak industry body and pilot trainers.
“Engaging with the alumni from New Zealand reflects the critically important role they play in influencing new students to come to New Zealand for training. These alumni now fly for Vietnam’s biggest airlines.
“Not only does New Zealand offer world-class pilot training that meets all the necessary Vietnamese regulatory approvals, but students can enjoy an excellent lifestyle and student experience in any of the four locations around New Zealand in which our training schools are based. I am positive that the alumni will be able to attest to that,” added Mr Burrowes.

Noteworthy education programme featured during Prime Minister’s Trade Mission to Japan
Hot on the heels of the Prime Minister’s Trade Mission to Southeast Asia in April, relationships with our partner countries in the region continued to be strengthened for the benefit of the education sector during New Zealand’s most recent trade mission to Japan. This mission supported export sectors, including education, to engage with the Japan market and leverage emerging opportunities while advancing the New Zealand brand. The inclusion of education in the high-level visit acknowledges its contribution to the government’s ambition to lift the value of exports.
The strong people-to-people links between New Zealand and Japan are noteworthy with high student mobility in both directions. Japan is the third largest source of international students for New Zealand according to 2023 international student enrolment data with the school sector making up the largest proportion of enrolments. Japan is also a top destination for New Zealand scholars with many joining the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) programme and in the most recent Prime Minister’s Scholarship for Asia group announcement, three groups were awarded scholarships for programmes in Japan.
The international education sector was represented by two delegates nominated by ENZ to participate in the full business delegation. Cheryl de la Rey, Vice-Chancellor University of Canterbury, attended as Chair of the Vice-Chancellor’s Committee on behalf of the wider university sector and John van der Zwan, Executive Director, Schools International Education Business Association (SIEBA). Unfortunately, John had to withdraw due to illness.
The education programme elements woven into the high-level visit included a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing, a visit by Mrs Amanda Luxon to a local Japanese school, and scholarship students participating in the New Zealand Sports and Business Leadership luncheon.
MoU between Massey University and a group of all-girls secondary schools
The Prime Minister promoted awareness of New Zealand’s world-leading universities among high schools in Japan through witnessing the signing of an MoU between Massey University and six all-girls secondary schools in Japan.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon witnessed the signing of the MoU between Massey University and six all-girls secondary schools in Japan.
The memorandum signing ceremony was held at the New Zealand Embassy in Japan on 18 June. The MoU will develop a special admission system, enabling Massey University’s foundation or bachelor’s programmes to accept outstanding students recommended by the principals of the Japanese high schools. Through this agreement, students who meet Massey University's English and academic requirements and receive a recommendation from their schools will be able to enrol in Massey University's bachelor's programmes. Students can graduate with a degree in three years from the time they start their studies.
Shelly Turner, Deputy Vice Chancellor represented Massey University in Tokyo at the MoU signing and said at the signing “Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa Massey University has a long-standing relationship with Japan, reflecting our commitment to fostering international education and cultural exchange, and more recently we have seen a growing interest in our full degree programmes.
“We are dedicated to providing comprehensive support to ensure our Japanese students thrive academically and personally. We recognise the crucial role of women and girls in tertiary education and are committed to empowering them to achieve their full potential during their studies, and transition to successful careers,” said Shelly.
The Japanese school Principals, including Japan Women’s University Senior High School Principal, Yumi Susuki also welcomed the new partnership.
“For the past 30 years, our school has deepened its understanding of New Zealand culture and society through language training programs in New Zealand. With the 2022 agreement between Education New Zealand and our school, and now the new special admission system with Massey University, we hope to build even richer relationships and empower our students to shape their future,” said Yumi.
The Japanese schools that signed the agreement participated in the 'New Zealand Education Familiarisation Tour,' co-hosted by ENZ and Air New Zealand in March 2024. During the tour, they found a high level of compatibility with Massey’s educational philosophy, wide range of academic options, future-oriented learning environment, and extensive support for international students.
Homei Elementary School

International education opportunities were also highlighted in a well-received visit Mrs Luxon made to Homei Elementary School on 19 June (affiliated to Japan Women’s University). It was Mrs Luxon's first trip to Japan and her school visit enhanced New Zealand's presence and reputation among all-girls' schools and universities in Japan.
In 2022, an Education Cooperation Arrangement between ENZ and Japan Women's University (JWU) and its affiliated schools including the Homei Elementary School was concluded to promote student and teacher exchange as well as gender equality and women’s empowerment.
From 2025, Homei Elementary School will send its first cohort of six graders (11-12 years old) to St. Margaret’s College for a short-term study and homestay experience.
Sports and Business Leadership Luncheon
The Sports and Business Leadership Luncheon held earlier in the programme on 17 June celebrated people-to-people connections and promoted New Zealand as an attractive study destination, including through the “Tobitate” scholarship programme.
The Tobitate programme, managed by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), sends students abroad and New Zealand has welcomed many students as part of this initiative. Ten Tobitate Alumni were invited by ENZ to attend the lunch in support of the New Zealand – Japan sporting ties and to promote education opportunities in New Zealand to the Japanese audience.
The Prime Minister’s remarks during the event celebrated ten years of the Game on English programme (which combines rugby and study in New Zealand for Japanese high school students), highlighted Fonterra’s contribution to its success, and announced Air New Zealand as a new sponsor.
Upcoming Events in Japan for NZ education providers
ENZ’s Acting General Manager International and Regional Director Asia (excluding China), Ben Burrowes accompanied the delegation and said he is looking forward to the upcoming ENZ events in Japan.
“The team is preparing to welcome providers to Japan later this year for the New Zealand Fair and Agent Seminars from 6 to 8 October.
“The timing of Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s recent visit to Japan couldn’t have been better. We will look to further leverage this focus by continuing our work with the sector to promote New Zealand’s education offerings with prospective students, families and education stakeholders in Japan.”
