  • Massey launches pre-degree pathway in Viet Nam

    This is Massey University’s first pre-degree collaboration with a high school in Viet Nam. It will provide students at Nguyen Sieu School, as well as other schools in Hanoi, with the opportunity to begin a foundation pathway in Viet Nam that they can complete in New Zealand, before transitioning directly into degree study at Massey.

    Andrea Flavel, Director of PaCE, said the programme equips students with critical skills needed for their futures and exposes them to the different learning style and culture of New Zealand.

    “This programme is an example of the way PaCE works collaboratively with institutions around the world to create customised learning experiences that set students up for future academic success, and give them the opportunity to experience the best Massey has to offer.”

    PaCE also presented Nguyen Sieu School with a special scholarship worth NZ$20,000 to support students to participate in the pathway programme.

    The new Vietnamese Ambassador to New Zealand, His Excellency Ta Van Thong, and New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam, Wendy Matthews, attended the launch, which received nationwide news coverage in Viet Nam. 

    The first cohort of students will begin study in Viet Nam in July 2018, transitioning to study in New Zealand in February 2019.

  • A message to our students and their families

    Our focus at this time is on supporting the families and communities affected by the attack and making sure people feel safe and secure – public safety is the top priority for the New Zealand Police and the New Zealand Government. 

    People everywhere in New Zealand are coming together to ensure that New Zealand remains an inclusive, caring country.

    The attack is an assault on the values of New Zealanders – values of international friendship, tolerance and kindness. International education has a powerful role to play in this, and we value the diversity and perspectives all our international friends bring to New Zealand.

    The following services are available, and we encourage you to access them if required:

    New Zealand is committed to making sure all international students feel safe and well, and that the country remains a welcoming and open society:

    • The New Zealand Government’s pastoral care requirements are world leading and set high expectations for the support of international students. The requirements ensure education providers are providing support, information and counselling services. Also, that students are safe and properly cared for.

    • New Zealand’s International Student Wellbeing Strategy includes a focus on health and wellbeing, and inclusion, and funds initiatives that support these aims.

    • The New Zealand International Education Strategy 2018-2030 is focussed on delivering excellent education and student experience, and ensuring international students are welcome and safe.

    The wider programme included a series of targeted events, school visits, and stakeholder meetings, all aimed at reconnecting with the market and exploring new partnership opportunities.   

    English New Zealand Executive Director, Kim Renner, said they were pleased to be back in Japan, marketing as a group.  

    “Japan is a key market for the English Language School sector. Our member schools have strong connections formed over many years with Japanese education agencies and institutions, and meeting face-to-face in market is invaluable,” she said. 

    “The events were a great success profiling both the English language sector and New Zealand as a destination for a high-quality study travel experience,” Kim added.

    Feedback from participating English Language Schools was also positive. One event participant said: “Agents and students asked focused questions, it was pleasing to see the high levels of interest studying at a New Zealand English Language School”. 

    The participating schools included: ABC College of English, Auckland Institute of Studies, Christchurch College of English, Languages International, Mount Maunganui Language Centre and Worldwide School of English. 

     

  • Talking employment rights with international students

    Lesley Brough, International Travel College (ITC)’s International Marketing Manager, welcomed Ms Kaloti to an international student lunch where Ms Kaloti spoke in detail about New Zealand employment rights, including contracts and the minimum wage and what to look out for to avoid exploitation.

    “Ms Kaloti’s message reinforced several of our values like inclusivity, fairness, and diversity,” said Lesley.

    “While ITC covers these important topics on a regular basis, it was good for international students to hear the same messages from an independent, unaffiliated organisation.

    “Now our students know they can also reach out to the Migrant Workers Association if they would like further support or guidance.”

    Ms Kaloti encouraged students to discuss these issues with their friends as they could be happening to someone they know.

    “It’s really important that our students feel empowered about their rights in New Zealand and are compelled to share this knowledge with their friends and family,” said Lesley.

    “The more we can raise awareness about these issues, the less likely it is that exploitation will occur.”

    Education providers interested in having Anu Kaloti speak at their institute can email migrantworkersnz@gmail.com.
