• Introducing International Education Sector Future Directions

  “The challenge sector representatives are seeking to address is to identify a series of priorities and actions in international education that can be worked on collaboratively,” said ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson.

  The programme is complementary to the recently launched cross-government International Education Strategy for New Zealand, which was co-developed by ENZ and the Ministry of Education. 

  “Priorities identified through the workshops include more collaboration, facilitating student pathways, joint activation of new markets offshore and prioritising the student when it comes to decision making,” said Grant.   

  The work was initially proposed at September’s International Education Peak Body Forum, attended by representatives of Universities New Zealand, ITP International, Quality Tertiary Institutions, Independent Tertiary Education NZ (ITENZ), English NZ, Schools International Education Business Association of NZ (SIEBA) and Independent Schools NZ.

  Five sub-sector workshops were held in October and November, run by an independent facilitator, with a range of representatives attending each. Areas of common interest were fed into a pan-sector workshop at the end of November. The Peak Body Forum will govern the process from this point.

  “This piece of work is a long-term project – and we plan to keep the sector as updated as possible throughout the process to ensure everyone has the chance to contribute,” said Grant.

• PIF Recipient: Connect2NZ

  Connect2NZ aims to show that tertiary education providers can work with government agencies to build a framework for international learners that is innovative, future focused, and learner-centric.     

  Connect2NZ’s target audience is professionals, living outside New Zealand, who are seeking skills development in emerging sectors. Work has been undertaken to determine learner needs and match those with areas where New Zealand is strong. The project will design and deliver micro-learning and short courses which have pathways, allowing these learners to study from a group of courses to achieve their desired career outcomes. Potential topics include technology, leadership, health and wellness, food and agritech, energy, tourism, design and natural hazards. Our goal is to eventually extend our offerings to degree qualifications.  

  "What excites me the most about the Connect2NZ project is the exploration of potential new offshore/online markets. In particular, the global lifelong learner market which is huge and to date not well served by some of the fantastic educational offerings available from the New Zealand Higher Education sector, "  

  Professor Mick Grimley, Dean of Future Learning and Development, University of Canterbury 

  Some of these courses will be delivered by one provider partner, while others will be jointly designed and delivered. The number of tertiary education providers is expected to grow following consultation with government agencies and community outreach.    

  The pilot project is supported by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ). Through its International Education Product Innovation Fund, ENZ is supporting a range of pilot projects that reimagine how a New Zealand education can engage and inspire international learners and create impact through new delivery modes, approaches and partnerships.  

  "Connect2NZ breaks the mold by uniting our organizational strengths in solving a challenging problem. When we prove success, the value add is a model other institutions can follow". 

  Dr David Dannenberg, Director of Learning, Teaching and Library, Lincoln University.

• Applications now open for the New Zealand-China Tripartite Fund

  University researchers are invited to submit proposals for the latest round, with up to $30,000 available per application to support quality, high-level research and collaboration. The fund seeks to initiate new tripartite partnerships and enable the further development of existing partnerships between a New Zealand university and two Chinese partner universities. 

  Eligible Tripartite Fund subjects can be drawn from the arts; humanities; social sciences; sciences and applied sciences; including agriculture; food safety; conservation; forestry; advanced materials engineering and environmental science.

  The fund was established in 2005 when the New Zealand and Chinese Ministries of Education agreed to formally support and promote tripartite relationships between Kiwi and Chinese institutions, in which a New Zealand university became the ‘third brother’ to an existing ‘two brothers’ agreement.

  This agreement was a first for the education relationship between New Zealand and China, and since then many other countries have followed New Zealand’s lead.

  Previous research linkages and projects have benefited both nations and highlight the growing academic and research engagement between China and New Zealand. There have been positive outcomes across a variety of research areas, including environmental protection and climate change, health and medicine, animal science, educational development, media literacy, renewable energy and the conservation of national parks. 

  “The Tripartite programme highlights our commitment to the strategic education partnership between China and New Zealand,” ENZ Director – Greater China, Miranda Herbert, says. “The projects and research under the programme to date showcase and support the reputation of New Zealand universities in China through our quality of research and people-to-people ties.”

  The deadline for applications is 1 March 2020, with a project start date of 1 May 2020, and end 30 April 2021.

  Below is the criteria for successful applicants:

• Latin American agents tour New Zealand

  The trip was organised by Carlos Robles, Director of IEP’s New Zealand Choice Schools, a consortium of 14 New Zealand secondary schools. It began in the north with a visit to Kerikeri, and covered schools right through to Dunedin – hitting Auckland, Te Puke, Napier, Rotorua, Wellington and Queenstown in between.

  Carlos said the diverse range of schools and settings gave the agents useful insights into what New Zealand offers as a study destination. 

  “At Kerikeri High School, the agents participated in a Sailing Academy with the students, while in Queenstown they witnessed the modern facilities and collaborative learning approach at Wakatipu High School,” said Carlos.

  “It showed agents the range of education experiences that Latin American students can have in New Zealand and that often aren’t available in their home countries.”

  In Napier, the group visited Taradale High School and William Colenso College before hitting Western Heights High School in Rotorua where the students performed a haka. The whirlwind trip ended at Te Puke High School. 

  ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager Brazil, Ana Azevedo, said the agents returned to Mexico and Brazil with a deeper knowledge of the secondary school possibilities they can share with their students.

  “It reinforces that experiencing a Kiwi classroom first-hand is a great way to inspire agents to promote the variety of high-quality education offerings in New Zealand.”

  The agents also had some time for adventures including taking in the sights in Queenstown and Milford Sound, spending an afternoon at Te Papa in Wellington, cycling through the vineyards in Napier and relaxing in the hot pools of Rotorua.
