ENZ signs education arrangement with Atsugi city
The arrangement was signed between ENZ, the Atsugi City Council and the Atsugi City Board of Education at the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo on 5 April.
The signing was preceded by a two-day visit to Wellington by an Atsugi City Board of Education delegation in late March. They met ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson, Deputy Mayor of Wellington Jill Day and visited secondary schools.

Already there are tangible results from the signing. Atsugi city is making plans to send a group of junior high school students on a 10-day study visit in August to Wainuiomata High School, Wellington.
Misa Kitaoka, ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager – Japan, said Atsugi city is keen to provide more opportunities for Atsugi’s school students as well as English teachers for teacher training in New Zealand.
Atsugi city will also act as a host town for New Zealand under the Japanese government’s initiative to promote exchanges between Japanese cities and the countries participating in the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics.
The education cooperation arrangement is the first of its kind between a Japanese host town and guest country.
Adele Bryant, ENZ’s Regional Director for China and North Asia, said the arrangement will strengthen the education relationship.
“Atsugi city has begun organising a range of activities to foster a strong relationship between the city and New Zealand in sport, culture and education.
“The arrangement has highlighted the range of education exchange initiatives that we could further promote as part of Japan’s ongoing internationalisation agenda leading up to and after the 2020 Olympics,” Adele said.

CHINA
Why international scholarship programmes are flocking to Asia
In this new era of globalisation, China seems poised to assume a greater leadership role in world affairs. Many fellowship foundations, university leaders and students have recognised this shift and, as a result, international student numbers in China have skyrocketed from 100,000 in 2004 to 400,000 in 2015. It is important that universities support any students keen to study in China by encouraging them to apply their interests during their undergraduate years – including acquiring language skills.

Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) is building an app to guide its first-time international students to Canada with practical living information from housing to clothes. The app will act alongside its website and orientation sessions to better relay information about life on campus and in Canada.

Russia to simplify visas, boost international student quota to 200,000
The Russian government has upped its international student quota for universities to 200,000 and put in place plans to simplify visas for students. The plans are part of an ongoing drive to boost the global profile of Russian higher education. The number of scholarships awarded to international students to study at Russian universities will also rise from 15,000 to 20,000, covering both tuition fees and a monthly stipend.
U.S.A
A pause in international students?
A new survey reveals that four in 10 U.S. colleges have experienced a decline in international applicants for the Fall 2017 term. The survey of around 250 colleges and universities was conducted in February, and more than three-quarters of institutions surveyed expressed concern about future enrolment. The most significant decline in applicants came from the Middle East, with a reported 39 percent decrease in undergraduate applications and a 31 percent decrease in graduate applications.

Cultural experience the big driver of study abroad for Generation Z
A new global survey of more than 5,000 students in 27 countries found that six in 10 students between 13 and 18 years old have considered study abroad, with the main motivation being to seek out new cultural experiences – contrasting motivations among college-aged students, who demonstrate a much stronger focus on employability and employment outcomes.

Thailand gearing up for popular education expo
TIECA is Thailand’s peak body of educational consultants, and aims to help raise standards of practice and services for both students and international institutions. They currently have some 70 members actively working in the education area.
Jaruwan Pongjaruwat, ENZ’s Programme Manager – Thailand, says the successful history of the expo, combined with the sheer number of attendees this year, makes it a key event that New Zealand institutions shouldn’t miss.
“Last year, we had about five New Zealand providers join the fair, and it would be great to have even more this time. It’s a fantastic opportunity for providers to interact with students and agents face-to-face and get their foot in the door.”
At the fair, institutions can network with TIECA agents and discuss possibilities for working together. There will also be seminars throughout the expo to raise awareness of institutions and increase student enrolment. For students interested in studying abroad, the expo will provide access to the TIECA member directory and other materials to support their decision making process.
The expo will focus on all areas of study including language schools, high schools and universities, with participants from educational institutions in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Malaysia, the United States and many other countries.
The TIECA expo has been promoted extensively online, and is inviting online celebrity students to join in and entice more students along.

Seeking schools for Digital Lead Research Project
The research project will help ENZ improve the effectiveness of ENZ’s digital marketing campaigns for the school sector, including the quality of the prospective student leads generated.
The project is being carried out by Enroller on behalf of ENZ and will take place between December 2018 and May 2019.
Participating schools will be provided with lead management software for the duration of the research* to help them evaluate the usefulness of ENZ digital leads alongside their other existing channels.
Clive Jones, ENZ’s General Manager, Strategy and Insight, says the aim is to better understand and improve ENZ’s digital channels to ensure New Zealand schools get the most value.
“We’re particularly interested in understanding the current volume and conversion rate of our digital leads for schools alongside existing recruitment channels – with the aim of improving the relevance and value of our digital leads for the school sector,” says Clive.
“Places in the research project are strictly limited, and we’re keen to get underway as soon as possible.”
If you are willing and able to assist, please contact ebd@enz.govt.nz before 20 December 2018.
*Some terms and conditions will apply. No upfront or setup costs involved but a success fee may be payable for every international student enrolled.
