  • New Zealand shares vocational expertise with China

    Representatives from five New Zealand ITPs provided insights on vocational education and training at the fifth Sino-New Zealand Modern Vocational Education Development Forum in Tianjin, a major port city of 15.5 million people south-east of Beijing.

    Under the theme of “Innovation and Entrepreneurship,” the forum aimed to grow the discussion on research and policy between New Zealand and Chinese officials and institutions in vocational education and training.

    It also sought to support the delivery of New Zealand vocational training qualifications in China.

    The forum was supported by ENZ and the Tianjin Education Commission. It was organised by Tianjin Light Industry Vocational Technical College of China and Waikato Institute of Technology of New Zealand. 

    Adele Bryant, ENZ Regional Director North Asia, said Tianjin is leading China in vocational education and training, and is an important region for New Zealand providers to connect with. 

    “Tianjin has a large number of top vocational education colleges, and receives strong policy support from both national and local government,” said Adele. 

    “It will also be taking China’s vocational training to the world through the Luban workshops, with plans for 10 to be sited offshore by 2020. Institutions from this region are keen to learn from New Zealand’s vocational providers.”    

    Representatives from Waikato Institute of Technology, Universal College of Learning, Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology, Wellington Institute of Technology and Otago Polytechnic participated in the forum. They offered their insights on instilling students with innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset, and discussed micro-credentials and models of delivering New Zealand qualifications offshore.

    Tony O’Brien, Director of the Sino-NZ Model Programme, said a highlight was the involvement of three Otago Polytechnic students who travelled to Tianjin, having won Student Entrepreneurship Scholarships.

    The students participated in a start-up business model workshop held alongside the forum, working with Chinese students to develop a business model in less than two days, which they then presented to the forum.

    He said another highlight was the participation of several Chinese teachers who completed the Train the Trainer Programme in New Zealand.

    “The teachers presented on how they have learned to use the Model Programme quality framework to develop their courses in China to enhance the entrepreneurial mind-set of their students,” said Tony. 

    The New Zealand-China Vocational Education and Training Model Programme was launched almost five years ago when the Strategic Education Partnership between China and New Zealand was signed during then Prime Minister John Key’s visit to China in April 2013.

  • PM’s mission to Viet Nam marks significant progress in international education

    Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s recent trade mission to Viet Nam saw significant education outcomes delivered, including boosting the number of available Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship awards, increasing the number of the New Zealand Schools Scholarships (NZSS) to 45 places and introducing 14 New Zealand Universities Awards (NZUA) for the first time, as well as the announcements of several new partnerships between Vietnam and New Zealand education providers.  

    Education New Zealand Chief Executive, Amanda Malu, joined five providers for the education component of the trade mission - The University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology, Media Design School, Pacific International Hotel Management School, and Neurofrog (edtech company). 

    The New Zealand-Vietnam EduConnect at Foreign Trade University was a significant education event in Hanoi, where Amanda joined Prime Minister Luxon in witnessing the signing of cooperation arrangements between education institutions in New Zealand and Viet Nam.  

    The EduConnect event also recognised the contribution of alumni to the friendship between our countries, with the launch of the inaugural New Zealand Alumni Network in Viet Nam. 

    ENZ Regional Director, Ben Burrowes said it was a wonderful opportunity to underscore the importance of people-to-people links in strengthening bilateral relations.  

    “This comes at an auspicious time, as New Zealand and Viet Nam celebrate the 50th anniversary of our longstanding partnership,” he added.

    AUT Vice-Chancellor Prof. Damon Salesa, Chair of Universities New Zealand's International Committee, represented Universities New Zealand to sign the Collaboration Arrangement with the Department of International Cooperation of the Vietnam Ministry of Education and Training.  

    The arrangement provides additional support to Project 89 scholars who wish to study in New Zealand. Project 89 is one of Viet Nam’s key initiatives to support its education sector, allowing local lecturers to pursue PhD study and postgraduate study overseas on fully-funded scholarships. 

    Following the success of education engagements during this trade mission, Amanda Malu, said New Zealand sees significant potential in strengthening education partnerships with Viet Nam.  

    “New Zealand will continue to expand the range of initiatives in Viet Nam across all levels of education, from schools to postgraduate study, to make it easier for Vietnamese students to engage in knowledge exchange, innovate and realise their dreams of studying abroad,” 
     
    “With Vietnam’s ambitious education and technology goals for 2045, our nation is well-positioned to support this journey,” she added.

  • ENZ and the New Zealand Film Commission have partnered on the upcoming film Mortal Engines

    The partnership is part of the New Zealand Screen Production Grant 5% uplift, which the NZFC administers to international film productions that demonstrate significant economic benefits to New Zealand, including promotion of New Zealand’s education interests.

    Production of Mortal Engines took place entirely in New Zealand. More than 1,000 New Zealanders – including crew, cast and craftspeople – were contracted during principal photography. New Zealanders also feature heavily in front of the camera, with more than 70% of the 50 speaking roles going to New Zealanders.

    Grant McPherson, ENZ Chief Executive said the partnership with Mortal Engines and the NZFC provides an exceptional opportunity to build brand awareness of New Zealand as a high quality education destination for international students.

    “This partnership allows us to showcase New Zealand’s education strengths in the creative arts—in which we are not just world-class but world-leading—and which offer our graduates global-career opportunities.

    “It supports our brand positioning of New Zealand as a modern, dynamic and creative country with a lot to offer in the highly competitive international education market.”

    Grant welcomed the opportunity to tell the stories of recent graduates and industry professionals who worked on Mortal Engines in ENZ’s global marketing programme.

    The announcement coincides with the teaser trailer released yesterday.

    Here is Television New Zealand’s One News report of the film partnership.
