  • ISANA’s guide to pastoral care success

    ISANA NZ President Lesley McDonald says the breakout sessions will equip attendees with strategies, tools and resources to enhance student support at their institutions.

    “Our breakout stream takes an evidence-driven approach to help providers develop strategies and inform investment in student support services,” says Lesley.

    “The sessions will help delegates achieve the outcomes of the Code of Practice, while keeping the student voice at the centre of everything we do.”

    The breakout sessions span international student services, advocacy, teaching and learning, and policy development, and suggest ways in which New Zealand can improve support for international students while they live and study here. 

    Highlights include workshops on supporting international student transitions, developing effective pastoral care programmes with your local community, and preparing for critical incidents.

    Other features include Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley talking about the possible effects of international demographic trends on the flow of students to New Zealand. An ISANA panel will also explore how individuals can be agents of change in their institutions to effect internationalisation goals, including by promoting the adoption of intercultural competencies.

    ENZ has partnered with ISANA New Zealand to deliver the breakout stream at conference, with a specific focus on student experience. Find out more at www.nziec.co.nz.

  • From the Chief Executive: Importance of international students to New Zealand

    Just before Christmas, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao filed its submission to the Productivity Commission Inquiry into immigration policy settings.  

    ENZ has taken a strong stand in the detailed 15-page submission, refuting some statements made about international students in the Commission’s preliminary report, and pointing out that international students are different to other temporary migrants included in the inquiry.  

    In the submission we say international students should not be characterised as coming to New Zealand to seek employment, invest or run a business. Rather, international students coming to New Zealand support the achievement of the Government’s broader goals and objectives, as well as contributing to NZ’s economic development. More than two thirds of international students fund their studies through their families and their own savings and most international tertiary students have left New Zealand within five years of completing their studies. 

    The submission also discusses the broad benefits international students deliver for New Zealand, including regional development, research output, and strengthened bilateral relationships with other countries. 

    The Productivity Commission aims to present its final report to the Government in April 2022. 

    In other recent news, our international teams have recently completed several partnership agreements that will continue to sustain international education while our borders are closed. These include a research exchange agreement with DAAD (a major German academic exchange organisation), a science research agreement with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, and digital classroom cultural exchanges with South Korea. We also highlight the growing success of the NZ Global Competence Certificate during 2021.  These items are covered in more detail in this issue of E-News.
