  • NZ-China Tripartite Partnership Programme Update 

    First established in 2005, the NZ-China Tripartite Partnership Fund is an ENZ sponsored initiative to support the development of diverse research relationships between New Zealand and China. This Fund supports our wider goals to develop strong global connections and highlight the quality of New Zealand education and research. 

    ENZ is pleased to announce the 2023-24 New Zealand – China Tripartite Partnership Fund recipients: 

    1. “Teaching physical education for the 21st century: Building collaborative partnerships to enhance the teaching of PE in schools” Associate Professor Alan Ovens, the University of Auckland will partner with Beijing Normal University and Gannan Normal University. 
    2. “Identification of molecular biomarkers of pain in red deer” Associate Professor Kevin Lawrence, Massey University will partner with City University of Hong Kong and Qingdao Agricultural University. 
    3. “The Digitalization of School Governance: A Comparative Study of School Governance between China and New Zealand” Liuning Yang, University of Auckland will partner with Peking University and Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. 

    ENZ also recently caught up with the 2022 NZ-China Tripartite Fund recipients to hear how their Tripartite Partnership research projects are tracking a year on. Professor Nicholas Rowe at the University of Auckland visited their research partner in May to provide a workshop at Beijing Normal University.

    Professor Rowe also virtually presented on their project, Teacher training for creativity and collaboration at the NZ-China Higher Education and Development Symposium 19 May at Yangzhou University.  

    The research project Professor Stephen Croucher and Associate Professor Ming Li from Massey University are working on with their Chinese partners was recently featured as a case study in a publication commissioned by New Zealand China Council. You can learn more about this Tripartite research project, “Protection of the Endangered Languages and Cultural Diversity in West China: A Case study of Miao Minority Language in Guizhou Province, China” in Collaborative Horizons.  

    Dr Shengnan Wang at the University of Auckland is currently recruiting participants for “The Project Hui: An innovative virtual exchange programme for preservice teachers in New Zealand and China.” Wang will travel to China in October to meet with research partners at Beijing Normal University to discuss publication and future collaboration opportunities. 

    The New Zealand China Tripartite Partnership Programme is experiencing a surge of activity as researchers between New Zealand and China plan and embark on travel to continue their research. 

      

  • From the CE: From planning to implementation on growing international education

    Kia ora koutou,  

    It was wonderful to see the International Education Going for Growth Plan announcement in July coincide with positive student stories from regions such as Canterbury and the Waikato. These featured the rise in international student numbers across subsectors, and local councils celebrating international student achievements and community contributions. 

    This month we have turned our minds to implementation, with the launch of our Go-To-Market Plans. These plans focus on nine markets with the highest potential for growth: China, India, the United States of America, Sri Lanka, Viet Nam, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, and Thailand.  

    The next step for ENZ is to develop ‘lighter touch,’ tailored plans for markets where we will maintain New Zealand’s strong presence and reputation for high-quality education: Germany, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Chile and Colombia.  

    An incredible amount of cross-sector engagement has gone into progressing this work. I am grateful to education providers for the open and meaningful way you have responded over the past few weeks.   

    On 11 August, ENZ launched a new brand campaign – New Zealand Taught Me – that highlights stories of alumni of New Zealand, aiming to connect emotionally with the values and aspirations of globally-minded prospective international students.  

    Delivered at pace, this campaign is designed to reignite and heighten interest in New Zealand as a study destination, ahead of the full launch of a New Zealand global brand platform later in the year. If you have not seen the campaign hero video, you can view and reshare it off this link. 

    Next month, I will be attending the 35th European Association for International Education (EAIE) Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, followed by the ICEF Monitor Global Summit in London, UK, where I will be sharing insights on students’ preferences for study in New Zealand and our plan to build international student enrolments over the next 10 years.

  • Japan-New Zealand education ties strengthen with growing collaboration

    Signed on 28 June, ENZ’s memorandum of understanding with Waseda University and its affiliate schools will be influential in developing international education exchanges that benefit institutions in Japan and New Zealand at school and tertiary level.

    Under the MOU, the first cohort of 12 students from Waseda Jitsugyo School will visit New Zealand schools in mid-July. This will be followed by an ENZ and Air New Zealand-led familiarisation visit to New Zealand schools involving 10 schoolteachers from Japan, including a Waseda University staff member in charge of overseas programmes for its affiliate schools.

    ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager – Japan, Misa Kitaoka, said the MOU is a significant one as it helps develop a strong relationship between a prestigious Japanese university, its affiliate schools and New Zealand schools.

    “By partnering with one of the top universities in the world, the MOU will not only promote student mobility from Japan but also boost New Zealand’s reputation and credibility in Japan,” Misa said.

    “We are keen to replicate this strategic partnership with universities and affiliate schools in Japan’s regions.”

    It was also fitting to see this MOU achieved in the lead up to NZIEC 2019 where Japan will feature as Country of Honour, Misa said.

    “With the Rugby World Cup about to be held in Asia for the first time in the tournament’s history, it is fantastic to see Japan feature as the Country of Honour at NZIEC.”

    The Country of Honour designation celebrates and showcases New Zealand’s international education connections with partner countries. Japan is New Zealand’s third-largest source country with more than 10,000 Japanese students enrolled here every year.

    “We look forward to sharing the latest Japan market updates and opportunities with NZIEC delegates in three sessions involving guest speakers from Japan, whose unique insights will present new opportunities for partnerships and collaboration.”

    Attendees will learn more about doing business with Japan, what the protocols are and the expectations of Japanese agents, education providers and government agencies. These insights will provide delegates with an overview of Japan’s internationalisation agenda and how it could be relevant to their international relations and marketing.

    The conference dinner will celebrate Japan’s fascinating culture. Japanese Ambassador, His Excellency Hiroyasu Kobayashi, will be guest of honour.
