  • New Zealand PTEs elevate profiles with inaugural Philippines Roadshow

    The roadshow, the first of its kind to be held in the Philippines, took place from 10 to 16 June, featuring nine PTEs: ACMI New Zealand, academyEX, Auckland Institute of Studies (AIS), Auckland Pilot Training Group, ICA New Zealand, IPU New Zealand, Kalandra Education Group, UP Education, and New Zealand Skills & Education Group.  Golden Summit was tasked with delivering the events in Manila, Bacolod, and Cebu.  

    The roadshow included an agent seminar and agent-led fairs. During the agent seminar in Manila, PTEs presented their offerings to an engaged audience of 37 Filipino education agents, who showed strong interest in the PTE programmes. The roadshow then continued with agent-led fairs in Bacolod and Cebu, drawing 370 and 150 visitors, respectively.

    ENZ’s Market Manager, Chor Pramoolpol, led the roadshow and commented that the agent seminar facilitated in-person interactions between PTEs and education agents interested in promoting New Zealand PTEs in the Philippines,  

    “The agent-led fairs provided prospective Filipino students and their families the opportunity to gather reliable information about studying at New Zealand PTEs by directly communicating with PTE representatives.  

    “In the recently released full year 2023 enrolment data, the Philippines comes in as the 8th largest partner country for New Zealand and saw a 131% increase in students enrolling with New Zealand education institutions from 2022 enrolments (1,933 vs 835 students). 51% of these total enrolments were for the PTE subsector which shows just how popular they are amongst Filipino students. Our roadshow was therefore very timely to capitalise on the interest from this market,” added Chortip.

    Ann Gooco, Senior Marketing Manager at International College of Auckland (ICA) said that she thoroughly enjoyed presenting ICA’s programmes and offerings to education agents in Makati City and to the many students in Bacolod and Cebu.  

    “I found the experience incredibly rewarding. These gatherings allowed me to bond with the education agents and other PTE representatives, adding to the overall positive experience,” added Ann.

  • NZ among top 10 preferred educational destination for Brazilian students

    According to the latest survey by Belta (Brazilian Educational & Language Travel Association), New Zealand ranks seventh on the list of preferred educational destinations for Brazilian students. The survey interviews 836 students and 569 international education agents along with companies who work in the international education sector in Brazil.  

    Respondents who chose New Zealand said their choice was based on New Zealand’s excellent positions in various international rankings for quality of life, education, civil rights protection, government transparency, and women's safety/rights. Other factors are being able to study and work during the study programme, and New Zealand’s natural beauty and cultural attractions.

    According to the survey, the main objective of students participating in a study abroad program is to fulfil the dream of experiencing different countries and cultures (39.6%); the second is the interest in language studies (27.2%).  

    The majority (77%) of those who said they went abroad to learn a new language chose English when travelling. The quality of education is another reason cited by respondents who chose New Zealand. All universities in New Zealand are ranked among the top 2% in the world by major international indices, such as QS World Universities and THE – Times Higher Education. 

    Bruna de Natale, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) Market Development Manager in Brazil, said, “The Belta survey is the most important source of consistently updated international education data in Brazil. It is very encouraging that Brazilians continue to perceive New Zealand as a safe, trusted and quality education to develop their academic and professional goals.,”.  

    The data from the Belta Survey 2024 reinforces the international Better Life Index, which measures variables that constitute the quality of life in countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In this survey, New Zealand is ranked as one of the best countries in the world to live in.
