  • From the Chief Executive: Shared ambition for the future of New Zealand international education

    Kia ora koutou,

    It was a pleasure to come together in Wellington this month when ENZ convened the Peak Body Forum, particularly with the Minister of Education, Hon Erica Stanford, joining us for an open and constructive discussion on the future of international education in New Zealand.

    The Forum reinforced the strong momentum behind the International Education Going for Growth Plan. The Minister spoke about her ambition for the sector and her determination to unlock opportunities that will enable international education to achieve its full potential.

    At the Forum, the Minister announced changes to post‑study work visa settings to support delivery of the Growth Plan. By supporting international graduates with valuable skills while maintaining high education quality, the changes make New Zealand more competitive internationally and reinforce our reputation as a destination of choice.

    The Peak Body Forum continues to be a powerful example of what we can achieve together. Government agencies and peak bodies at the table, working collectively for the long-term success of New Zealand international education.

    It was also a pleasure to attend ICEF ANZA in Wellington this month and connect with education agents and providers from New Zealand, Australia and around the world. I was proud to see New Zealand providers so strongly represented and to welcome our international agent partners. Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington and the Wellington City Council were magnificent hosts. Hon Erica Stanford made an inspiring address to welcome the delegates.

    I want to sincerely thank sector stakeholders across the motu and around the world for the work you are doing every day to boost and grow New Zealand education’s profile internationally.

    Ko te kotahitanga te kāwai i herea ai tātou.
    Unity is the binding thread that connects us all.

    Ngā mihi nui,
    Linda Sissons

    Acting Chief Executive

  • From Education Minister Chris Hipkins

    It represents a shift from international education as a revenue generating export industry to one that incorporates domestic students, boosts global skills and enriches our country socially and culturally.

    We’re making strong progress towards this vision. Education New Zealand’s latest Perceptions survey shows more New Zealanders – nearly 60% – believe international education makes a positive contribution to this country. The survey also reveals an increased appreciation for benefits such as greater cultural understanding.

    We’re seeing more international students located around the country, supporting regional economies and contributing to diversity and inclusion in local communities: the regional distribution of international students is now at its highest level in the past five years.

    We are also seeing a rise in the numbers of international students enrolling at our universities – up seven percent from 2017, and also in our schools, which are up six percent.

    This is evidence of the quality of the educational experience we are offering to the world. The Reform of Vocational Education is another step in the right direction, ensuring this sector is strong, unified and continues to be globally relevant in the fast-changing world of work.

    The reform includes bringing together the country’s 16 ITPs under a single national Institute of Skills and Technology. This will strengthen New Zealand’s profile internationally and increase our ability to attract quality students from around the world.

    Of course, an excellent educational experience is about more than just what happens in the classroom. It is about students feeling welcome, safe and supported. The International Education Strategy places wellbeing front and centre. We can be proud of the progress that has been made in this area – enhancing the pastoral care of international students and improving the information provided to prospective and current international students.

    Let’s continue to work together to grow this vision. As one of the Kiwis surveyed for ENZ’s Perceptions research says: “by bringing a global perspective to our educational facilities, international students increase New Zealanders’ understanding of global cultures and perspectives – and collaborate with them".
