  • “Feedback is a gift” - Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao’s 2023 Sector Survey

    We would like to thank the many respondents who took the time to answer the survey, including universities, schools, Private Training Establishments, English Language Schools, education product and services companies, Te Pūkenga, peak bodies, and regional economic development agencies.  

    Undertaken annually, the survey helps ENZ to understand what is important to the sector, what services and support provide the most value, and where there are opportunities for ENZ to improve our offerings.  

    In 2023, 73% of the sector agreed that ENZ’s services and support over the past year had added value to their organisation, Business and market advice and E-News were ranked as the most useful services. 

    Areas such as ENZ’s in-market advice and informed intelligence were highlighted as being helpful to the sector in making timely, informed decisions, as is the support to re-establish and consolidate presence in existing markets while exploring new growth opportunities. The opportunities that ENZ provides for international partnerships was also highlighted as helpful.  

    The survey is also important in identifying the areas in which the sector would like ENZ to focus more. This included more advance notice on upcoming events and opportunities, providing more clarity on the range of services and support available and building more strategic partnerships across the wider sector.  

    Sharon-May McCrostie, ENZ’s Director of Sector Engagement said that while this survey is held annually, ENZ welcomes ongoing feedback on how ENZ can best support the New Zealand international education sector to grow. 

    “These surveys are considered an important scorecard for us to understand where we are meeting expectations with our stakeholders but also opportunities to improve our support to the sector. 

    “Looking ahead to 2024, the sector has said it would like to see us improve our engagement around integrating views of the sector in our planning and promoting the value that the international education sector brings to NZ,” added Sharon-May.

  • Aotearoa New Zealand Indigenous led Education Technology

    Founded in 1987 in Austin, Texas, this was the first time South by Southwest® (SXSW®) has been hosted in the South Pacific. Taking place from 15 to 20 October, the conference celebrated the convergence of technology, film, music, education, and culture. 

    With kaupapa Māori at the heart of the Aotearoa Whare, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) was asked to support a showcase of Aotearoa Indigenous Education Technology (EdTech) companies in a panel conversation. Represented on the panel were four EdTech Founders who whakapapa Māori, from TŌNUI Collab based in Te Tairāwhiti (Gisborne), Tiaki Global based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington), Code Avengers based in Waikato (Hamilton) and ARA Journeys based in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). 

    The theme of “Aotearoa NZ Indigenous-led Education Technology” was explored by this group of Māori owned companies. Their initiatives have indigenous researchers, designers, and content developers creating innovative digital learning experiences for indigenous learners, their whānau and communities, and learning experiences for non-indigenous learners that draw on indigenous knowledge and know-how.

    Adrienne Bonell, Public Diplomacy Manager, MFAT said that it was a fascinating panel, expertly moderated by Duane Grace (Tiaki Global). 

    “The passion, smarts and energy Shanon O’Connor, Amber Taylor, and Hamish Day contributed as panellists on this vital kaupapa was palpable in the room. 

    “It was obvious the crowd felt the same given the number of pātai  (questions) and that we ran out of time in the end,” said Adrienne.  

    Supporting our Māori and Pasifika EdTech community is essential for the New Zealand education sector, as it enriches our curriculum with diverse perspectives and aligns to our community values. It also enhances Aotearoa New Zealand’s distinct and unique indigenous voice in the world, uplifting our global competitiveness. 

    Amber Taylor of ARA Journeys said that the connections made during the conference are starting to bear fruit. 

    “Since the conference, I have received emails from a few attendees who expressed a keen interest in our projects and initiatives.  

    We are excited about the possibilities they hold for our future collaborations and expanding our reach to audiences beyond our current business sphere," added Amber.
