• NZISA hits the road  

  Congratulations to NZISA for organising and delivering these four separate events to give international students a warm welcome to New Zealand. The events were also an opportunity for students to connect with each other in person, hear from inspiring speakers from international and migrant backgrounds, and network with a range of government and NGO organisations who work closely with international students. 

  

  The Roadshow also provided a moment to celebrate NZISA’s five-year anniversary and recognise five years of advocating on behalf of international students, raising issues and concerns with appropriate government agencies.   

  

  More than two hundred international students attended the events, which attracted very positive feedback. There was real appreciation for the kōrero of the guest speakers and the opportunity to connect with other students, especially from students who have just recently arrived in New Zealand. 

  “It was so inspiring to hear from the panellists how they were able to adapt and grow in new surroundings in a short time. I asked them about their motivation to work in New Zealand despite the cultural differences, and their answers really opened my eyes, as they mentioned that we can see challenges as a barrier, but instead look at them as opportunities to change and grow.” – Anis Aqeelah Afrina Mohd Raduan, who recently arrived in New Zealand to complete the final year of her Bachelor of Commerce at Te Victoria University of Wellington, majoring in Actuarial Science and Finance. 

  “It was so lovely to reconnect with past Presidents and executive members from NZISA and acknowledge just how far the association has come in five years,” says Sahinde Pala, General Manager Sector Services, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao. 

  “Their hard work and commitment have given international students a voice with government agencies, ensuring the needs and concerns of international students studying with New Zealand are considered and addressed.”    

• Brazil to headline NZIEC as Country of Honour

  ENZ has joined with the Brazilian Embassy in Wellington to bring to life the partnership, which celebrates the growing education connections between New Zealand and Brazil.

  Lisa Futschek, ENZ Regional Director Americas and Europe, said ENZ is excited to showcase Brazil this year.

  “As the largest student recruitment market in Latin America and with momentum growing, Brazil is an important diversification market for New Zealand’s international education industry.

  “Moreover, conference participants will revel in tasters of Brazil’s vibrant music and cuisine culture!”

  Paulo Camargo, Ambassador of Brazil in New Zealand, is delighted to see Brazil featured as the Country of Honour at NZIEC 2018.

  “Every year, thousands of Brazilians come to New Zealand to study across a variety of sectors. I also see a growing interest of New Zealand students going to Brazilian universities. In the process, this exchange builds one of the best foundations for the strong relationship between two countries: the human ties of friendship and understanding.

  “Brazil and New Zealand share many values and have great potential to enhance educational cooperation. I look forward to working with Education New Zealand to turn 2018 into a landmark for our two-way partnership."

  

  Be sure to soak up some of the sights and sounds of Brazil at NZIEC 2018

  Last year, almost 3,600 Brazilian students studied in New Zealand. Engagement with Brazilian institutions is also increasing due in part to the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Latin America and the funding offered to help internationalise Brazil’s postgraduate departments.

  In March this year, five New Zealand universities participated in the Brazil/New Zealand Academic Cooperation Forum designed to enhance collaboration and research linkages at postgraduate level.

  The Country of Honour designation at NZIEC celebrates and showcases New Zealand’s international education connections with partner countries.

  NZIEC delegates can look forward to engaging with the team from the Brazilian Embassy at its booth in the Expo Hall – and experience a few delights during conference.

• 11 million engagements across channels

  Patrick Holden, ENZ’s Digital Media Project Manager, said this makes it ENZ's single largest marketing campaign yet.

  “We are really pleased with how ENZ’s ‘Future Proof’ campaign has been tracking since its launch on 19 March,” he said.

   New Zealand was ranked the #1 country in the world for educating students for the future, according to a report by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) released late last year.

  On 19 March, ENZ launched an eight-week global campaign to promote the ranking and encourage international students to sign-up to ENZ’s database marketing programme.

  The first ‘dream’ phase of the campaign focused on awareness.

  “We reached over 30 million people and have had 11,757,000 engagements across our digital and social ecosystem.

  “This is the largest qualified audience ENZ has ever achieved in a single campaign.”

  The second phase of the campaign started on 1 April and is focussed on converting the audience into enquiries to institutions. Ten days in, 11,600 referrals have been made.

  The ‘Future proof’ campaign integrates ENZ’s social communities and digital channels via ENZ’s student attraction engine and is the first campaign integrated with the database marketing platform.

  The third ‘decide’ phase will introduce the My StudyNZ member centre tool for which we received excellent feedback from the pilot prospective student group.

• New Zealand tops English-speaking countries in Educating for the Future ranking

  There were just 1.6 points between top-ranked Finland (80.9), second place-getter Switzerland (80.3) and New Zealand on 79.3 points.

  The overall ranking was a small drop for New Zealand, which ranked first out of 35 economies in the first EIU report which came out in September 2017. However, the 2018 ranking involves 50 economies and additional indicators on which countries were evaluated.

  "This is a very good result for New Zealand," said ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson.

  "New Zealand retains its position as the number one English-speaking country in the ranking as well as its top ranking in the Asia-Pacific region.

  "Along with Finland, New Zealand is the only country that has been in the top 3 two years in a row."

  The index evaluates the way that countries approach future-focused education to encompass problem-based learning, innovative teaching methods and broader themes of global citizenship.

  It has a focus on young people aged 15 to 24 in 50 economies, and measures three pillars of education systems – policy approaches, teaching conditions and broader gauges of societal freedom and openness – as a means of preparing young people to meet the challenges of work and society in future.
