  • Export Education Levy projects from 2016/17

    The annual report covers the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017, and can be found on the Education Counts and ENZ website.

    The levy is paid by education providers who enrol fee-paying international students in New Zealand. 

    “In 2003, the Government introduced the Export Education Levy to fund a wide range of development and risk management initiatives for the export education sector. This includes funding the Code of Practice which oversees the wellbeing of our international students while they are studying in New Zealand, as well as marketing, development, quality assurance and research for the sector,” says Belinda Himiona, Group Manager International Education, Ministry of Education.

    Activities funded by the levy in 2016/17 include:

    Support for promotional activities in ENZ’s priority markets included digital marketing via the Study in New Zealand website, social media campaigns, fairs and events held overseas. It also supported in-bound agent visits and international media familiarisation visits to New Zealand.

    Funding also went into expanding the scope of growth activities, and number of regions participating in ENZ’s Regional Partnership Programme, which works with international education providers, local government, regional economic development agencies and communities to encourage regional growth in international education.

    Funding was also allocated to administering and monitoring the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students.  To support the implementation of the new Code of Practice, guidelines and other resources were developed and published on the New Zealand Qualifications Authority’s website. A letter of expectations was sent to all signatories advising them of the new Code of Practice and highlighting their responsibilities

  • Government's response to Productivity Commission report

    The Commission’s report highlighted a number of constraints and challenges across the tertiary education system. The response outlines the Government’s consideration of the report and the opportunities for improvement that have arisen from it. It lays out the Government’s plan for a world-class higher education system that promotes greater innovation, flexibility and responsiveness, while safeguarding our strong international reputation.

    In its response, Government has set out its plan for action through four inter-related areas of focus that span the tertiary education system:

    • Creating a more student-centred system
    • Meeting the needs of industry through relevant, responsive, and supportive teaching
    • Improving performance across the system
    • Enabling and encouraging innovative new models and providers.

    The work-plan signals potential opportunity for the international education sector. It sets out a plan for work to ensure the tertiary education system is open to new ideas and new ways of doing things. This will include consideration of potential changes to funding, regulatory and quality assurance arrangements, where this will lead to benefits for learners and for New Zealand. 

    ENZ has contributed to the development of the Government’s response on behalf of the sector, and continues to work with other government agencies to ensure international education remains a key part of the resulting work plan.

    This will be a significant undertaking. The Government will work with providers, employers, students and other stakeholders as it progresses the work. Engagement will begin soon, including through the development of a new Tertiary Education Strategy in 2018.

    An example of a ‘Kiwi ambassador’ - US student Jake Voss shares his New Zealand adventures on the SiNZ Instagram.

    To apply, students had to submit an essay explaining why they wanted to study in New Zealand and serve as ‘Kiwi ambassadors’ on social media.

    ENZ’s Director of Education, North America, Amy Rutherford said this support is part of ENZ’s commitment to helping US students experience New Zealand universities.

    "These programmes open up new opportunities for US students seeking to study in New Zealand.”

    Launched in 2014 by the Institute of International Education, GSA is an initiative to double the number of American students who study abroad by the end of the decade.

    ENZ has provided more than 24 scholarships to US students since the programme’s inception, selecting recipients on the basis of academic excellence, leadership skills and ambassadorial qualities.

    In addition to the GSA Awards, ENZ and the US Department of State recently announced a new $100,000 partnership in support of the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, which enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad.

  • New Zealand Global Competence Certificate programme proves a hit

    What is New Zealand’s Global Competence Certificate programme?

    The customised cultural exchange programme, which started as a pilot partnership last year between New Zealand’s international education agency, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao and AFS Intercultural Programs, Inc. has proved so successful it is now being extended and taken up by schools and tertiary institutions around the country, connecting them with students in Asia and Latin America.

    The “Kiwi way” has much to offer the world, and international education has much to offer New Zealanders at a time the world needs people with cross-cultural competencies. The New Zealand Global Competence Certificate, delivered through Massey University, develops cultural self-awareness, emotional resilience, and build bridges across cultures. It also piques the interest of students offshore in coming to New Zealand in better times.

    The programme delivers animated videos, quizzes, assignments, and weekly live facilitated dialogue sessions for learners to talk with each other online in real time and learn about life from perspectives other than their own.

    What have students been saying about the NZGCC programme?

    “Not only have I learned to become a better communicator, empathiser, and global citizen, but also how a group of like-minded individuals can come together to form something bigger,” says Jack Hittle, of Northland’s Springbank School.

    “I found the programme life-changing,” says Vaagisha Kanwar, a Year 11 student at Indus International School in Bangalore, India, who connected with the Northland students. “We learned about conflict, empathy, inequality, different communication styles, how different people adapt to new situations, and about suspending judgement. I know that I’ll use the skills we’ve learned for the rest of my life, not just when I travel abroad but also in daily life.”

    "You see the way a culture greets each other or the way they dress, but then there are things like relationships, gender roles, and health,” says Whanganui Girls College student Tilda Donson.

    What have educators been saying about the NZGCC programme?

    Whanganui Girls College Principal Sharon Steer is delighted with the NZGCC programme, which she says will help students build their understanding of global cultures, and other critical “soft” skills which will prepare them for life as they enter the workforce.

    “An important part of our curriculum is developing strong communication skills and setting our students up for success in the workplace. The NZGCC programme will add another dimension to our lessons by teaching our students how to develop meaningful relationships with one another despite language and cultural differences.”

    Educators say that with the borders closed, the programme now forms an important part of the reshaped international education experience.

    “It is so important that our students don’t miss out on the enriching life skills that are gained when we interact and connect with people from around the globe,” says Whangarei Girls High School International Director Amelia Morrison, who has students working with peers in India.

    "Global competence is mission-critical for our world," says AFS Intercultural Programs President and CEO Daniel Obst. “Educating more young people to become global citizens is crucial if we want to create a more just and peaceful world.”

    The expansion of the GCC programme reflects the diversification of education in new virtual forms fit for a globally connected world, says Education New Zealand Chief Executive Grant McPherson.

    “As well as helping to develop the global citizens of tomorrow, this programme demonstrates the reciprocal benefits of international education, giving our rangatahi a chance to learn with high school students from around the world, and giving their offshore peers a chance to learn ‘with’ New Zealand and our unique way of thinking.”
