Events in Latin America a great success
A mixture of education fairs and agent seminars were held in five cities across Brazil, Chile and Colombia and proved to be hugely popular. Three times as many students and families attended the ENZ fairs in Bogota and Santiago as attended the 2014 fairs, with a queue of eager students waiting their turn to enter the Education New Zealand fair in Bogota.
The students themselves expressed surprise at the level of interest from their peers in studying in New Zealand and, though some may have felt a little regret that their study destination “discovery” was not theirs alone, it affirmed that their interest was well-founded.
As well, more New Zealand institutions – representing all sectors of the industry – than ever took part in the series of events, showing a real desire for greater engagement with prospective students in this region.
But it wasn’t only about the numbers.
Feedback from the institutions that participated was very positive, and included comments such as:
“ENZ operates very well in South America. The staff seem to be very switched on and they have a lot of market experience. I have been involved in many ENZ events in various countries and I am very happy with South America.”
“The marketing of the event was clearly done very well because there were a lot of interested students and family members. Well done to Ana, Sam and Javiera for organising such a good event”
“Awareness of New Zealand as study destination was very good”

Letter from the CE: Celebrating our success
Following our terrific success at the New Zealand Direct Marketing Awards, we have now had some international award successes.
Our Director of Student Acquisition, Euan Howden, has won a Marketo Revvie Award for Fearless Marketerfor leading ENZ’s database marketing transformation, and our Communications team has won a prestigious Gold Quill Award for ENZ’s efforts to build a greater understanding of international education in New Zealand.
We’re in good company – being internationally benchmarked alongside global heavyweights.
But this work has not happened in isolation. We owe it in large part to our collaboration with many representatives from across New Zealand’s international education industry. These awards are also a result of your much-valued ongoing support and assistance.
We had a clear purpose behind our approach: to provide the best support we could to New Zealand's education sector. Importantly, this work is well-aligned with the goals of our International Education Strategy and is a great reflection of our commitment to achieving sustainable growth, delivering an excellent student experience and fostering global citizens.
We want to continue to deliver value to the sector, and always welcome your feedback. I encourage education providers and regional partners to attend ENZ’s ongoing industry engagement events and workshops. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with our talented team, pick their brains and find out how we can help you in your efforts, from recruitment through to advocacy.
I hope you’ll join me in congratulating our teams who led this work.
On behalf of ENZ, we look forward to continuing to work together to make New Zealand a special study destination for students from all around the world.

Come back to NZ! Nau mai hoki mai rā!
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) is inviting New Zealand education providers to take part in an initiative to encourage students from Thailand who have previously studied here to return to New Zealand for further study. Providers are invited to subsidise travel for returning students - up to a maximum of NZD $3,000 for students returning for a year or more.
The scheme will work by students or agents providing proof of previous study and once the students are in New Zealand, can rebate the air fare back to their account through coordination with their agents. The amount students can rebate is based on the receipt of their booked travel but no more than the $3,000 cap. New Zealand schools who were involved in the recent education events in Thailand gave positive feedback on this concept.
ENZ will publicise the initiative online, via agents, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and media. Education agents will also be asked to co-promote this with us while KTC credit card, the scheme’s credit card partner, will be promoting this campaign and additional benefits through their own database and PR channels.
If you are an education provider interested in signing up or finding out more about the campaign, please click here.

Palmerston North’s education connections with Viet Nam
The MoA signing is the latest development in the education relationship between Palmerston North and Ho Chi Minh City – an earlier agreement signed in 2014 had expired in 2019. Unlike the 2014 agreement, which only included a few education providers in Palmerston North, the renewed MoA captures a much broader range of institutions, from schools to tertiary providers.
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao had helped to sustain this relationship in 2020, through the NZ Global Competence Certificate initiative. The Central Economic Development Agency and the Palmerston North City Council (PNCC) teamed up with ENZ to offer scholarships for 50 secondary school students in Manawatū and Ho Chi Minh City to increase their global competency – read more here.
The new MoA was signed by Palmerston North Mayor Grant Smith on behalf of PNCC and Deputy Director from Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Education and Training, Duong Tri Dung. It was witnessed by Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Van Trung, New Zealand Ambassador Tredene Dobson, and representatives of ENZ.
“Education arrangements like this help to further strengthen these ties. Building on sustained and increasing interest from New Zealand education providers to engage with institutional counterparts in Ho Chi Minh City, this will open a new chapter for collaboration and success for the respective cities,” Ms Dobson said.
