  • Europe market update for secondary schools

    As the sector rebuilds capability and welcomes international students back to New Zealand, this session will provide valuable information to secondary school staff wanting to refresh their knowledge or learn more about working with education agents and recruiting school students in Europe.

    We are hosting one 1.5-hour Zoom session on Thursday 16 March from 3.30-5.00pm NZT.

    The session will introduce schools to ENZ’s Europe team, provide an update on the market, and have guest speakers on hand to share their experiences of working in Europe.

    In previous years, many students from Germany, France and Italy have travelled to New Zealand on student exchanges, seeking new experiences at New Zealand high schools. These countries are a priority focus for ENZ staff based in Europe.

    In 2019, 1855 German students, 406 Italian students, and 370 French students spent time studying in New Zealand high schools. At least 66% of German international students were enrolled in schools in 2020, making this the largest subsector for Germany students.

  • From the CE: 2023 is off to a flying start

    Following the appointment of Chris Hipkins to Prime Minister, last week we welcomed our new Minister of Education, Jan Tinetti. Minister Tinetti knows education well. She has over 20 years as a primary school principal, in four schools across Southland and Tauranga. She also holds a Diploma in Teaching (Primary), a Bachelor of Education and Master’s in Education with First Class Honours, from the University of Canterbury.  

    Both appointments are good news for international education. We have both a Prime Minister with rich knowledge and appreciation for the many benefits that international education brings working alongside a Minister of Education who has significant education experience. 

    The first month of the year saw significant announcements in China, an important partner country. The first was the change to the Zero-COVID policy, followed shortly after with the decision by the Chinese qualification recognition agency to revert to pre-COVID settings for online qualifications. Chinese students were already returning to study in New Zealand and these announcements will encourage this further.   

    In response to these changes in China our team collaborated with Tourism New Zealand to drive awareness of New Zealand as a short-term study destination. Late last year we put the New Zealand education brand back on the map in Colombia with an important event in Bogota. I am also excited to see the relaunch of the New Zealand Schools Scholarships – our flagship initiative for Viet Nam.  

    The first month of the year also saw our first iwi-led Prime Minister’s Scholarship for Asia recipients (Te Piriru Marae, Ngāti Maniapoto) travelling to Hokkaido for six weeks, forging connections with the indigenous Ainu people of Japan. There will be more on this in next month’s ENews.  

    While I’m on the subject of the Prime Minister’s Scholarships the most recent round of applications saw a significant and very pleasing increase in Māori participation to 22 percent up from five percent from 2016 to 2019. We are eager to continue this increase and will be partnering with iwi to raise it further in the March group application round. 

    After the challenges of the past couple of years, a flying start was exactly what we needed and I am very pleased that is what we have.  

    Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa  

    Let us keep close together, not wide apart. 

    Ngā mihi nui,
