Advertising opportunity in Japan
Click here to view a sample advertisement.
The publication is the only one of its kind supported by the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo and Education New Zealand. KBUNSHA distributes 20,000 copies to Japanese schools, universities and education organisations as well as education fairs and seminars.
“With the New Zealand border gradually reopening to students from Japan, along with the recent New Zealand Prime Minister’s visit to Japan in April, this is a great opportunity for us to join forces to promote New Zealand education to the Japanese public. Destination marketing plays a key role in student attraction for a market like Japan with a tourism focus and I hope regions can also participate in this special opportunity to introduce their regions and activities,” says ENZ Director of Education – Japan, Misa Kitaoka.
To advertise, bookings must be made by 30 June 2022 directly with KBUNSHA (details for English speaking contact person are included in the NZ Proposal).
Advertisement rates for individual providers range from $NZ1,200 to $NZ6,000 for guidebook and/or website listing. Individual providers can download the proposal here. Advertising copy can be provided in English.
For further details on the guidebook and pricing for regional groups (starting at $NZ2,300 for a 2-page colour advertisement) download the proposal here.

New Zealand tops English-speaking countries in Educating for the Future ranking again
New Zealand retained its ranking from 2018, with an overall score of 79.9, close behind Sweden (84.3) and Finland (84.8), which topped the rankings.
New Zealand achieved a top score in the index’s socio-economic environment category, which measures how education systems expose their students to global values such as gender equality, civic freedom, and diversity and tolerance.
The index’s socio-economic environment category compares freedom of religion and the press, gender equality, attitudes toward immigrants, and protecting the environment.
“High-income economies have the most open societies and are therefore conducive to learning future-oriented skills,” the EIU 2019 report said.
New Zealand also ranked among the top five countries in the education policy environment category, which tracked economies focusing on critical thinking, digital skills and soft skills as part of the secondary school curriculum.
“It’s a fantastic result for New Zealand to have retained our top global ranking in the English-speaking world as well as the Asia-Pacific region,” ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson said.
“It’s great to see New Zealand do so well in the index’s socio-economic environment category that measures exposure to global values such as diversity and tolerance.
“Future skills are vital to advancing these global values.”
The index assesses the effectiveness of education systems in preparing students for the demands of work and life in a rapidly changing landscape.
It focuses on young people aged 15-24 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 readying young people to meet the challenges of work and society in future.

New scholarship programme highlights NZ as global leaders in agricultural climate change
The new scholarship called the New Zealand Global Research Alliance Doctoral Scholarships (NZ-GRADS) programme will see six science students from developing countries complete their PhDs at a New Zealand university.
"New Zealand is a global leader on climate change. As part of that leadership role, we’ve created these scholarships to support global efforts to tackle climate change and foster the next generation of climate scientists. We need to ensure the world’s brightest minds have access to our world-class education,” Mr O’Connor said.
Funding for the new scholarships is being provided by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), in support of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA).
The GRA focuses on improving agricultural productivity and production efficiency while addressing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and food security. It also facilitates a wide range of capability building and research programmes.
“New Zealand is a founding member and key contributor to the GRA. Our role is at the core of our global leadership on climate change”, he said.
“Our leadership is well recognised by other countries and was praised by the United Nations Secretary General during his visit to New Zealand in May 2019.
“Through the GRA we have successfully mobilised action around the world - from governments, international organisations and producers - to better understand the opportunities we have to reduce global agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.
“We are committed to supporting the scientific capability in developing countries, and to broadening the pool of innovation and ideas globally. These scholarships will help us tap into the new research and knowledge these students will bring to New Zealand, while enabling them to expand their knowledge and expertise in agriculture emissions science”.
Applications open today (3 February 2020) and close 1 June 2020. Scholarship details are available on the Global Research Alliance and the Education New Zealand webpages.

ENZ wins gold at India’s Kaleido Awards
The annual Kaleido Awards showcase excellence in communciations and public relations, and attracted 500 entries this year.
ENZ’s win was for the campaign, “Unlock Potential for the New You”, developed as a way of responding to the travel restrictions caused by COVID-19, and the need to maintain a pipeline of students interested in higher study with New Zealand.
The campaign focused on bridging the learning gap for all our local stakeholders – students, partners, industry experts, teachers, and agents. A series of events was organised, including masterclasses for students, a media training session for education agents, and a Women of the Future summit to celebrate International Women’s Day. The idea was to showcase the varied ‘newer’ learning prospects available in New Zealand.
These learning opportunities were supported by content across a range of social media channels. We also engaged with prominent journalists and provided news stories. The campaign saw a 50% increase in student applications for different courses at New Zealand universities, along with a 75% increase in inquiries about study with New Zealand.
