  • Empowering early career scientists through New Zealand-Germany research collaboration

    The third funding round of the New Zealand-German academic exchange programme, known as the Programmes for Project-Related Personal Exchange (PPP programme), has enabled five New Zealand research projects to undertake research with academic partners from Germany.

    The following universities have formed partnerships:

    • University of Auckland and University of Paderborn
      Topic: Preparing students for a data science future using innovative teaching  

    • University of Auckland and the Technical University of Dortmund
      Topic: The development of contextual visual processing in the Ebbinghaus: illusion in children and its underlying neuronal basis (EBBI-KIDS) 

    • University of Auckland and University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf
      Topic: Perspectives of equitable medical education: a comparison between Aotearoa New Zealand and Germany

    • University of Canterbury and Westcoast University of Applied Sciences
      Topic: Younger generations as reflexive agents of change: Motivating Generation (Gen) Z to participate in the voluntary sector

    • University of Otago and Helmholtz Munich
      Topic: Modulation of central GIPR signalling to increase health during ageing

    The programme invited researchers to think of a project that would particularly benefit from working with German academic counterparts. Research projects will run from 2025 to 2026, with work taking place in both New Zealand and Germany. 

    Acting Regional Director, Americas & Europe, Natalie Lulia, said the programme aims to strengthen the relationships between New Zealand and German academics and institutions.   

    “It opens up New Zealand researchers to a global network of academics.  

    “Since the programme’s beginning, we’ve seen awardees think forward and explore possibilities of further collaboration with their research partners” she said. 

    The PPP programme was established in 2021, when ENZ and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding.   

    The bilateral agreement between ENZ and the DAAD enables young academics to further their careers and expand their international research links. ENZ contributes funding to support New Zealand researchers, while the DAAD supports German researchers to travel to New Zealand.

  • Brazil to headline NZIEC as Country of Honour

    ENZ has joined with the Brazilian Embassy in Wellington to bring to life the partnership, which celebrates the growing education connections between New Zealand and Brazil.

    Lisa Futschek, ENZ Regional Director Americas and Europe, said ENZ is excited to showcase Brazil this year.

    “As the largest student recruitment market in Latin America and with momentum growing, Brazil is an important diversification market for New Zealand’s international education industry.

    “Moreover, conference participants will revel in tasters of Brazil’s vibrant music and cuisine culture!”

    Paulo Camargo, Ambassador of Brazil in New Zealand, is delighted to see Brazil featured as the Country of Honour at NZIEC 2018.

    “Every year, thousands of Brazilians come to New Zealand to study across a variety of sectors. I also see a growing interest of New Zealand students going to Brazilian universities. In the process, this exchange builds one of the best foundations for the strong relationship between two countries: the human ties of friendship and understanding.

    “Brazil and New Zealand share many values and have great potential to enhance educational cooperation. I look forward to working with Education New Zealand to turn 2018 into a landmark for our two-way partnership."

    Be sure to soak up some of the sights and sounds of Brazil at NZIEC 2018

    Last year, almost 3,600 Brazilian students studied in New Zealand. Engagement with Brazilian institutions is also increasing due in part to the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Latin America and the funding offered to help internationalise Brazil’s postgraduate departments.

    In March this year, five New Zealand universities participated in the Brazil/New Zealand Academic Cooperation Forum designed to enhance collaboration and research linkages at postgraduate level.

    The Country of Honour designation at NZIEC celebrates and showcases New Zealand’s international education connections with partner countries.

    NZIEC delegates can look forward to engaging with the team from the Brazilian Embassy at its booth in the Expo Hall – and experience a few delights during conference.

  • 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.

  • Make the most of international student success stories

    Richard Kyle, ENZ’s Industry Development Manager, said these stories are valuable assets for schools and should not be overlooked for marketing campaigns.

    “Proof points are truly valuable assets for schools, and personalised ones such as student success stories are gold when working with agents and families who are considering study destinations,” he said.

    “These success stories promote your school as well as the quality of New Zealand’s education in general, including the qualifications on offer such as NCEA.”

    Here are just a few examples of international students succeeding in New Zealand:

    Craighead Diocesan School, Timaru: Thirada (Yaya) Channawichote from Thailand is a talented artist and graphic designer and was awarded a New Zealand Scholarship in Design and Visual Communication. She received endorsements all through her NCEA studies, and was recently awarded scholarships to study Painting in the US at MICA University.

    Pukekohe Christian School: Ren Monn Lee from Malaysia achieved a Top Achievement Award at the recent International Cambridge Awards Ceremony. Ren Monn received the top mark of any student in New Zealand in the June AS Geography exam, having completed the year-long course in just six months.

    Marlborough Girls’ College: Minji Kim from South Korea gained Excellence at NCEA Level 2 and has been selected as the International Prefect for the school for 2017. Minji is now focussed on gaining excellence again in Year 13.

    James Hargest College: Kawinwit Kittpalawattanapol was awarded a Scholarship in English and Tadsapon Wiwitawan was awarded a Scholarship in Photography (both students hail from Thailand).

    Cambridge High School: International student Charles Zha was awarded in Mathematics with Calculus and received the highest number of NCEA Level 2 excellence credits in Year 12 at the school.

    Congratulations to all students for their achievements, and we look forward to hearing many more success stories in 2017.

  • Report from GHEDEX 2022

    This year saw a welcome return to an in-person event, attracting good numbers of students and international education stakeholders. ENZ showcased New Zealand as an education partner for Oman during the “Quality in Higher Education” conference that took place alongside GHEDEX. While in Muscat, ENZ also hosted an event for Omani alumni of New Zealand universities. Twenty-eight attended, from seven universities, providing a useful networking opportunity.

    Officials at GHEDEX confirmed that as our border is reopening, New Zealand is included in the just-released Omani Ministry of Higher Education’s 2022/23 handbook for scholarships. Feedback from education agents suggests that fewer scholarship students overall are expected this year.

    Dr Nadia Kasto, New Zealand Academic Advisor for the Omani Consulate-General in Melbourne confirmed that from next year, all Omani scholarship students will be able to make their own decisions about the country and university that best suit their study needs.

    “All universities have to work very hard to promote themselves to Omani students in order to get as many students as they can.”
