  • 34 Vietnamese students awarded New Zealand Schools Scholarships as programme reaches record demand

    Of the 34 recipients, 27 were awarded NZSS scholarships and seven received funding directly from participating New Zealand schools. Since launching in 2019, the NZSS programme has supported more than 100 Vietnamese students from Years 8-10 to study in New Zealand, reinforcing education ties between the two countries.

    Scholarships for 2026 are spread across schools in Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, Hawke’s Bay, Manawatū, Nelson-Tasman, Northland, and Whanganui, offering international students from Viet Nam access to high-quality education across diverse regions.

    The latest intake follows strong demand for the programme in Viet Nam. From 90 applications, 57 were fully eligible, resulting in 34 scholarships awarded.

    New Zealand Consul-General Scott James said the programme reflects the strength of the bilateral relationship.

    “Education has always been a cornerstone of the partnership between New Zealand and Viet Nam. We are proud to see successive generations of talented Vietnamese students embark on their education journeys at New Zealand’s high-quality secondary schools through the NZSS programme,” James said.

    NZSS alumni and parents of past scholarship recipients share first-hand insights on studying and living in New Zealand, offering valuable guidance to future students.

    ENZ’s Market Manager - Viet Nam, Van Banh, said the demand for New Zealand education among Vietnamese students continues to rise.

    “In 2025, approximately 2,200 Vietnamese international students were enrolled in New Zealand, representing a 14 percent increase from the previous year. Secondary education remains a key pathway to study in New Zealand, reflecting the strong trust Vietnamese families place in New Zealand’s education system.”

    Promotion of the 2026 round of the NZSS reached record levels. The campaign engaged 55 approved education agents, with webinars attracting up to 141 participants per session. Digital and media activity generated 29 media clippings, more than 3 million reach on social media, and over 61,000 website clicks.

    The NZSS website also recorded 43,138 visits between January and March 2026, nearly double the same period in 2025. Direct outreach activities connected with 300 prospective students.

    Applications are now open for the second NZSS intake for 2026, running from 15 June to 14 August. The next round will offer 29 scholarships, alongside additional awards funded by participating schools, with unsuccessful NZSS applicants still considered for school-based scholarships.

  • Japanese education agents experience New Zealand’s school education offering firsthand

    Delivered in partnership between Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao, Auckland Educated, Christchurch Educated and SIEBA, the visit highlights the value of a joined-up, sector-wide approach to offshore recruitment.

    Building connections through collaboration

    The programme builds on a 2025 initiative where 16 Auckland schools travelled to Japan to develop relationships with education agents and schools. Inviting those agents to New Zealand enabled them to experience local schools, teaching environments and student life firsthand.

    The agents visited 12 secondary schools and one primary school in Auckland over five days, meeting international directors, exploring campus environments, and experiencing local attractions.

    Several agents said the visit reshaped their perceptions of Auckland, with firsthand experience of its expansive school campuses and green spaces highlighting a learning environment that supports both academics and outdoor activity.

    In addition to visiting Auckland Grammar, Botany Downs Secondary College, Gulf Harbour School, Massey High School, Mount Albert Grammar, Mount Roskill Grammar, One Tree Hill College, Rosehill College, Sacred Heart College, St Mary’s College, St Peter’s College,  Waitākere College and Waiuku College, the group of agents also had the opportunity to enjoy New Zealand’s unique lifestyle and hospitality, with local beaches, tourist sites and hospitality sector across Auckland over five days.

    Extending reach beyond major centres

    The group then travelled to Christchurch to attend the SIEBA Hui Agent Forum, providing exposure to over 100 schools and a broader view of education opportunities across regions.

    Christchurch Educated also facilitated connections with local schools (Burnside High School, Cashmere High School, Craighead Diocesan School, Middleton Grange School, and Rolleston College) and hosted a briefing session with international directors, further strengthening sector relationships.

    They also valued the opportunity to engage with a wider range of regions, deepening their understanding of education options beyond major cities.

    Supporting future growth

    ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager, Japan, Takako Tominaga, said an additional positive development was Air New Zealand’s recent announcement of direct flights between Narita and Christchurch that will begin in November.

    “This is a great development that will further strengthen future promotion opportunities for Christchurch and the South Island in the Japanese market,” Takako said.
