• From the CE: Boosting global connections in education

  Kia ora koutou,  

  In March, I spent an incredible couple of weeks in New Delhi and Mumbai as part of the Prime Minister’s Trade Mission to India, and for the 2025 Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) conference.  

  During the trade mission, I was pleased to witness, together with Prime Ministers Christopher Luxon and Narendra Modi, the signing of a refreshed bilateral Education Cooperation Arrangement (ECA) between New Zealand and India. Education is a key feature in the New Zealand-India bilateral relationship, with India the second largest source market of international students for New Zealand. 

  The trade mission also served as a valuable opportunity to grow our connections with the Indian Institute of Technology New Delhi (IIT Delhi) through the New Zealand Centre, which is at the heart of our education partnerships in India.  

  IIT Delhi is backed by all eight New Zealand universities and is a hub for joint research and advancing India’s Digital India vision in AI, data science and advanced engineering. Prime Minister Luxon spoke at the education event which saw the announcement of several education initiatives, including a scholarship package and virtual internship programme, aimed at deepening bilateral collaboration. 

  There is no doubt that New Zealand has made a splash in India, and we look forward to continuing the momentum.  

  Last week, the Government announced its Quarter 2 Action Plan for New Zealand with 38 actions focused on economic growth. Boosting international education and export education earnings is a key action under the plan. ENZ is currently leading cross-agency work to develop an International Education Growth Plan for the Prime Minister and Ministers, and will be undertaking a series of sector engagements in the coming weeks. 

  It is an exciting time, and I look forward to sharing more about this work in my next column.

• Keeping international students at the forefront of the RoVE conversation

  ENZ has an important role in the implementation of the NZIST. We are tasked with ensuring the international education voice is heard and considered; supporting the vocational education sector during the transition; and helping shape the long-term plan for the NZIST international offering.

  ENZ recently hosted a communications workshop with government agencies, the IST Establishment Unit and RoVE communications professionals to discuss the potential impact the vocational education reforms may have on international students and the international education sector.

  The outcomes of the workshop included an international education focused communications approach that will consist of articles for overseas media, tailored updates for agents and students, and supporting brochures and factsheets. These will ensure international students and their support networks, which includes agents, family members and international office staff, receive relevant, timely information on the transition to the NZIST and feel confident that they know what it means for them and that New Zealand remains the best place for them to study.

  ENZ’s Kaylee Butters is currently on secondment to the role of Director, IST Implementation. This role is focused on developing a comprehensive marketing programme to support the vocational education sector during the transition to NZIST, and helping shape the long-term brand positioning of the institute internationally.

  “ENZ is excited by the opportunity to support the sector and the NZIST in these crucial stages of development,” Kaylee says. “We see this as an incredible chance to market New Zealand’s vocational education offering internationally under a strong, unified national brand.”

  The short-term plan will leverage ENZ’s existing channels and platforms to communicate a clear and confident message to prospective international students, agents and partners. The goal is to continue to attract high-calibre learners to the ITP sector with key messaging and content that aligns with ENZ’s Think New brand.

  Long-term, ENZ has an opportunity to work with the NZIST and other Government agencies to design a customised and competitive ‘package’ for international students.

  To assist with the day one requirements of the NZIST, ENZ is also supporting the development of the institute's new website. ENZ has developed a student-facing digital ecosystem with award-winning digital marketing capability, business intelligence and Government-level security. ENZ is able to leverage crown investment by using www.studyinnewzealand.govt.nz as a foundation to build a new digital platform tailored to the ITP and ITO sector. We can also support the sector by sharing our learning to ensure the best possible user experience and customer journey for all international and domestic students.
