    Picture of the the Kākā bird carrying the Manapou

    The Kākā (a parrot native to New Zealand) as it carried the Manapou (fruit kernal) on its journey to New Zealand. This images features in the welcome area of ENZ's Wellington headquarters.

    Education New Zealand’s Māori name is metaphorical and tells a story which is embedded in our brand and Ngā Manapou (our values) and how we work as an organisation.

     

    Te whakapapa o Manapou ki te Ao – the genealogy of our Māori name – goes back to 2018 when ENZ’s Māori advisory team developed Rautaki Māori (our Māori Strategy). The name was endorsed in 2019 by the then Minister of Education.

     

    ·       Manapou – refers to the fruit kernel that nourished and sustained the Kākā (a parrot native to New Zealand) as it carried the seed in its crop on the journey from Hawaiki to Aotearoa.  

     

    ·       Ki te Ao – the word ‘Ao’ means the ‘world’ and also refers to the ‘dawn’. In Māori cosmogony, the idea of ‘Ao’ signifies dawn or a new beginning every day, new experiences, opportunities and learnings. 

     

    Manapou ki te Ao describes how Aotearoa New Zealand education nourishes and empowers students and enables them to be the world’s next generation of problem solvers.  

     

    Our name and the story are embedded in ENZ’s Manapou ki te Ao colour palette:

    ·       the deepwater blue represents the flight of the Kākā over the ocean

    ·       the surface blue stands for approaching land over shallow water

    ·       the Manapou orange is the Manapou stone brought by the Kākā

    ·       the East Coast sand colour alludes to the sandy shores of Aotearoa.

  • Further growth for international education

    The economic value of the sector in 2016 is now estimated to be $4.5 billion, an increase of $200 million on 2015 student numbers.

    ENZ's Acting Chief Executive John Goulter says the findings are a tribute to the continuing hard work and strong collaboration of key players across the industry.

    “This growth could not be achieved without our education providers, government bodies and other key industry players working together successfully to attract talented students from around the world.

    “It is an impressive outcome, and shows that New Zealand is increasingly seen as a place that offers quality education in a safe, welcoming environment.”

    The new figures consolidate international education’s place as New Zealand’s fourth largest export sector, supporting more than 33,000 jobs across New Zealand.

  • Government announcement allows longer stays for visitor visa holders in NZ

    What does this announcement mean for international students currently in New Zealand?

    • This announcement is unlikely to have any impact on international students currently in New Zealand, as most students are likely holding student visas.

    • Visitor visa holders who have not yet studied, may wish to consider undertaking a short course at an approved education provider.

    • Visitor visa holders can study short course/s (or a term at school) of up to three months per 12 month period. The extension of visitor visas does not extend how long visitor visa holders may study for.

    • Family members of students currently studying in New Zealand may benefit from the visitor visa extension if they remain in New Zealand due to COVID-19 restrictions, or otherwise choose to stay longer. Under the announcement they will also be able to apply for further visitor visas as the limit of time spent in New Zealand as a visitor has been temporarily suspended.

    Immigration New Zealand will email affected visa holders to confirm the visa extension by 5 March 2021.
