New Zealand education roadshow connects Indonesian students with high-quality study options
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao strengthened engagement with students and families in Indonesia through a successful 2026 Study with New Zealand Roadshow across five major cities.
In early February, ENZ, New Zealand universities and pathway providers travelled across Indonesia to showcase New Zealand’s world‑class education offering and help students make confident, informed decisions about studying in New Zealand.
Building confidence and awareness across Indonesia
The roadshow activities were delivered in Jakarta, Tangerang, Bandung, Surabaya and Semarang, demonstrating New Zealand’s commitment to supporting Indonesian students as they explore international study pathways.
Through engaging presentations and direct conversations with institutional representatives, students, parents and teachers gained insights into New Zealand’s academic environment, student support systems, campus life, scholarship opportunities and everyday living experience.
Strong participation from universities and pathway providers
All eight New Zealand universities took part in the roadshow series, alongside pathway providers UP Education, University of Canterbury International College (UCIC) and University of Waikato College, which provide key transition routes into higher education.
The programme included visits to seven schools across the five cities through mini‑fairs and presentations, as well as city‑wide Study with New Zealand expos that attracted more than 1,000 attendees.
Strengthening New Zealand’s presence in the market
ENZ Regional Director Asia (excluding China) Ben Burrowes highlighted the importance of consistent in‑market engagement.
“New Zealand offers something genuinely special, a mix of quality education, innovative thinking, and a strong focus on student wellbeing. By being here and meeting students and families directly through these roadshow activities, we not only get to show what makes New Zealand different but also build stronger brand awareness. It’s one of the best ways to help Indonesian learners feel confident when choosing New Zealand for their studies abroad,” Ben said.
Collaboration with partners
The Study with New Zealand roadshow is co‑funded between ENZ, participating universities and pathway providers. ENZ’s education agent partners SUN Education Indonesia, ICAN Education and Alfalink supported the delivery.

Strong agent engagement supports growth of New Zealand high schools in Germany
Between January and August 2025, 2,110 secondary school students from Germany chose to study in New Zealand, the highest volume recorded in the past decade. This result reflects the enduring appeal of New Zealand’s high‑quality education system, strong pastoral care, wide range of sports and co‑curricular opportunities, and a lifestyle that continues to resonate with German students and families.
Education agents at the centre of Germany’s success
A key driver of this growth is the strength of Germany’s education agent network. Around 50 experienced agents actively promote New Zealand as a school study destination and maintain long‑standing relationships with New Zealand high schools.
These agents play a critical role in advising families, matching students with the right schools, and supporting sustainable recruitment through their deep understanding of the German market and trusted local relationships.
Strengthening in‑market engagement
As part of ongoing engagement in Germany, the Schools International Education Business Association (SIEBA) recently hosted dedicated agent sessions in Berlin and Frankfurt. The sessions created opportunities for open discussion on market trends, emerging opportunities, and challenges facing school recruitment, while also strengthening connections between agents and New Zealand schools.
SIEBA also shared how it supports agents and schools through its platform and services, helping increase visibility and build effective partnerships.
SIEBA, Member Services Manager – Student Attraction, Giuliana Silveira, said it was fantastic to experience the dynamics of the German market and to meet agents in person.
“I was truly impressed by the depth of expertise and the strong commitment of the education agent community to New Zealand as a destination,” Giuliana said.
Strong presence at German education fairs
New Zealand schools also maintained a visible presence at agent‑led fairs across the country. In March, several New Zealand high schools took part in the Switch Live fair in southern Germany, organised by Switch You, where strong interest was evident among students and parents.
ENZ Associate Director of Engagement – Europe, Olga Elli, said New Zealand’s value proposition is a compelling one in Germany.
“From my conversations with families, it was clear how compelling New Zealand’s value proposition is. Against the current global backdrop, New Zealand is being seen as an increasingly attractive and reliable study destination,” Olga said.
Sustaining momentum
Regular in‑market engagement, active participation at education fairs, and ongoing collaboration with trusted agents remain essential to maintaining visibility and competitiveness in Germany. These efforts continue to support strong outcomes for New Zealand high schools and position the sector well for sustained growth in this priority market.
