Insights Accelerator - 3 things for 30 minutes for PTE and ELS providers
The goal of the Insights Accelerator sessions is to offer concise information and insights to support our PTE and ELS providers. By focusing on three things within 30 minutes, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) hopes to efficiently deliver useful takeaways while being mindful of busy schedules.
ENZ’s General Manager, Sector Engagement and Innovation, Wendy Kerr said that two Insights Accelerator sessions have been held so far and were well received by attendees.
“My team is constantly reviewing ways we can better engage with the sector and add greater value. With this platform, we hope that we can support providers in their strategic planning endeavours through the sharing of useful information about our services, as well as market insights.
“These sessions also provide an avenue for us to understand more about our customers. We will be hosting more of these sessions in the coming months so please keep an eye out for the invitation”, added Wendy.
For the launch session, Nick Sinclair, ENZ’s Global Brand Manager presented on the international advertising campaign: Learn New Every Day, and talked about the campaign rationale, channels and target markets, and campaign assets as well as where and how the sector can use these.
In the second Insights Accelerator, ENZ’s Director Insights Marie Clark presented information on ENZ Intellilab, including 2023 Ministry of Education Student Enrolment Data. Marie shared how providers can access Intellilab and the range of information available. The session also looked at the survey findings from the 2023 New Zealanders’ perceptions of the value of international education research and 2023 International Students Experience research.

Wide-ranging masterclasses in Vietnam
“We were very pleased at the interest shown by the Vietnamese students,” says Van Banh, Market Manager at Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ).
“Some of the students had previously taken part in other events with us, which shows the level of interest they have in New Zealand.
“Each session included a Q&A session with the lecturers about undergraduate programmes at their institution, and an opportunity for us to highlight the upcoming New Zealand education fairs at the end of October.”
Artificial intelligence, chemical engineering, and sheep milk cheese were among the many and diverse topics covered by 19 academics across the 21 masterclasses, which were offered to students from nine different school chains across Vietnam.

NZ’s updated Code of Practice – caring for international students
The following article is based on a presentation by Julia Moore from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) at NZIEC KI TUA 2022 in August. NZQA is responsible for administering the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021 (the Code), which came into effect in January this year.
All domestic and international tertiary students, and international students in schools, are now covered by the Code. Offshore learners are also covered, with updated guidance from NZQA explaining what is expected, and what pastoral care might be provided for people studying offshore.
Wellbeing is closely connected with success in education, and this is recognised in the updated Code. The Code signals a new way of thinking about success for learners which includes wellbeing and acknowledges that being heard and responded to is part of wellbeing.
“International learners should be able to have their voices heard and heeded,” Julia said.
The Code sets a framework for the relationship between providers and students. It acknowledges solutions are best found locally, so the Code requires providers to work out what is appropriate in their own setting, and for meeting the needs of diverse learners. Learners and their communities need to be included in the design, review, and improvement of practice. Taking care of international learners has become an organisation-wide responsibility for the education provider, rather than the sole responsibility of pastoral support teams or the international office.
“We aim to support providers’ continuous improvement in taking a whole-of-organisation approach to pastoral care, honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and responding appropriately to the diverse voices and wellbeing needs of their learners,” Julia said.

NZQA holds regular workshops on the Code, and you can find out more here

October update from Immigration New Zealand
Update on student visa processing*
Since the borders reopened on 1 August 2022, we have received 7,710 student visa applications from international students outside New Zealand. We have decided 4,885 of these applications with over half of these decisions being made in less than 4 weeks and 95% being made within 7 weeks.
*Figures current as at 17 October 2022.
Submit your student visa application for early 2023 study now
Thank you to everyone who has followed our guidance around waiting to submit applications for a student visa for 2023 study. We now encourage students who are intending to begin their studies in New Zealand in early 2023 (up to the end of March) to submit their applications. If you have all your documents ready (including your offer of place and up to date financial evidence) then apply now to give enough time for your application to be processed before your intended travel date. Follow the checklists on the INZ website Student visa information | Immigration New Zealand for guidance on what to provide with your application.
Sending your passport to INZ
We have changed the rules for when you need to send us your passport. Now, if you are applying for a student visa you only need to send us a high-quality scan of your passport, you will not usually need to send your actual passport to be scanned at a Visa Application Centre (VAC) or an Immigration New Zealand office. This is a temporary measure to help with visa processing. Please note applicants may still receive an automated letter asking for a passport to be submitted. This is not required. We are updating the letter to address this issue.
