  • All Covid-19 requirements removed

    Changes that take effect from Tuesday 15 August 2023

    • Confirmed Covid-19 cases will no longer be legally required to self-isolate
    • Masks will no longer be mandatory in any locations

    This means that tertiary education providers can operate as normal, and set their own policies and procedures to ensure they meet their obligations to staff and learners, including under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021.

    Advice for tertiary providers and students

    The Ministry of Education recommends that tertiary education providers follow COVID-19 health advice, and support staff and learners to do so.

    Full COVID-19 health advice can be found at: Unite against COVID-19.

    The Ministry of Education will also be updating advice for tertiary providers and students on the Te Mahau COVID-19 website following this announcement.

    The latest health advice on COVID-19 includes:

    • Stay at home if you are feeling unwell - if you, or someone in your household develops one or more of the following symptoms, you should take a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) for COVID-19: a runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, loss of smell or taste, shortness of breath.
    • If you have tested positive for COVID-19, it is recommended you isolate for 5 days, even if you only have mild symptoms, starting at Day 0, which is the day your symptoms started or when you tested positive, whichever came first.
    • If you do need to leave your home during your 5-day isolation period, it is very important you take precautions to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others. You should wear a mask whenever you leave the house. You should not visit a healthcare facility (except to access medical care), an aged residential care facility, or have contact with anyone at risk of getting seriously unwell with COVID-19.
    • If you are in isolation at the time of the setting change announcement, we recommend you continue isolating until you have completed 5 days. If you have already been isolating for 6 or 7 days, and are well, you can return to your normal activities.
    • After completing 5 days isolation –
      • If your symptoms have resolved and you feel well, you can return to your normal activities.
      • If you still feel unwell, we recommend you stay home until you have recovered.
      • We recommend you wear a mask if you need to visit a healthcare facility or an aged residential care facility, or you have contact with anyone at risk of getting seriously unwell with COVID-19 up until 10 days after your symptoms started or you tested positive. This is because some people are infectious for up to 10 days.

    Mask wearing remains an important way we can prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses

    Free masks are available for pick up with free rapid antigen tests (RATs) from participating collection sites. 

    RATs will remain free for everyone throughout 2023

    You can find out participating pick-up points for RATs and masks at COVID-19 Testing • Healthpoint or by calling 0800 222 478 and choosing option 1.

  • ICEF ANZA returns to New Zealand

    We’re pleased to announce that Tākina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre will host ANZA from March 4-6, 2026. ICEF ANZA will showcase New Zealand as a study destination to 160+ agents from all over the world, and is open to education providers from both Australia and New Zealand. ICEF ANZA was last in New Zealand in April 2024, where global agents and New Zealand and Australian education providers came together in Christchurch.  
     
    ICEF ANZA is an Australasia-focused event that gives education providers from Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to meet with top international student recruitment agents from around the world who have a focus on these key study destinations.  
     
    ENZ Group General Manager International and Sector Engagement, Sahinde Pala, said ENZ is excited to welcome ICEF ANZA back to New Zealand at a time when we are well positioned to attract more international students.  

    “We encourage institutions to participate, as well as to invite agents to visit their regions before and after the event, to experience more of our beautiful country first hand," she said.

  • Japan and New Zealand build on bilateral education ties with new Memorandum of Understanding

    It comes off the back of the Japanese Government’s continued work on their internationalisation policy, where international education plays a key role. It’s especially crucial for Ichihara this year, as the city gears up to act as one of 15 host towns for New Zealand (and other nations) during the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

    New Zealand is uniquely positioned to assist Japan with its internationalisation efforts, especially with English language learning.

    In November 2018, ENZ Senior Market Manager – Japan, Misa Kitaoka, called on Mayor Koide to discuss the opportunity for a new outbound programme to New Zealand. The initiative – translated as ‘Youth Overseas Study Abroad Assistance Project’ – is currently underway as a legacy project. After the Tokyo Olympics and Paralymics, the city is planning to send school students from Ichihara City to New Zealand starting 2021.

    In conjunction with the new outbound study programme to New Zealand, Ichihara City is keen to expand its partnership with New Zealand by signing an agreement with ENZ for wider cooperation to promote education exchange between the two countries.

    “It’s exciting to see New Zealand and Japan not only solidify the education relationship we already have, but open it up to different kinds of collaboration down the line,” ENZ General Manager – International, Lisa Futschek, says.

    “That’s where we get innovative education programmes developed for our students, like the popular English PLUS and Game On English initiatives.”

    As New Zealand's third largest student source country, Japan remains an important focus market for both ENZ and New Zealand institutions.

    As an underpinning to our student attraction objectives, our relationship is deepened through sister-city relationships, and outbound mobility initiatives such as the Prime Minister's Scholarships for Asia, and New Zealanders taking part in the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) programme.
