New Zealand School of Tourism sends students to China
The new partnership provides Hainan Airlines with a regular pool of professionally trained flight attendants, and enables NZST to offer overseas employment opportunities to its New Zealand and international graduates. All trainees must meet Hainan Airlines requirements and have recognised tourism qualifications from NZST.

Try to establish partnerships with companies where international students have a competitive global edge.
NZST Chief Executive Nicole Domett said it is a fantastic opportunity for New Zealand and international students to work for a successful Chinese company.
“NZST is privileged to be able to provide Hainan Airlines with enthusiastic, work-ready students to help them grow their business.
"We look forward to helping more tourism students succeed in this industry.”
Hainan Airlines conducted its first recruitment interviews at NZST’s Auckland Airport campus in March, where nearly 50 NZST students and alumni competed for the chance to live and work in China. Hainan Airlines employed 13 of the students: seven from New Zealand, four from Korea, and one each from Japan and China.
Hainan Airlines said the partnership is a valuable way to staff its international route services between China, New Zealand and Australia.
“Working closely with NZST allows us to recruit highly trained flight attendant students with a global perspective and sense of adventure.
“We see the friendly attitude, professionalism and in-depth training received by NZST students as indispensable qualities for our internationally-minded flight attendants.”
Hainan Airlines will travel to New Zealand in October to recruit more flight attendants as part of its twice-yearly recruitment agreement with NZST.

Around the world in five
Australia
The latest Agent Perception Survey from Navitas has demonstrated the impact of policy changes in Australia and Canada on demand and how the countries are viewed, and also shows that students are casting the net wider for higher education options and that demand for alternative destinations is growing.
India
Future of overseas education is set for major transformative shifts, driven by advancements in AI and immersive technologies. AI-led Virtual Reality tours are just one aspect that is set to revolutionise student exploration of overseas campuses.
South Korea
At the same time as leading Western destinations – e.g., Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom – are applying brakes to slow or reverse the expansion of their foreign enrolment, several Asian destinations are doing the opposite: pursuing policies to boost international enrolments to record-high levels. Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, and South Korea have all set ambitious new international enrolment targets.
United Kingdom
The UK government is considering replacing the Secure English Language Test (SELT) with a Home Office-owned testing model as part of an overhaul of the language requirement for student visas.
United States
International applications to US institutions continued to grow in 2024/25, though at a slower pace than in previous years, a new survey published in August 2024 has revealed.

Indian students look to Kiwi universities
The third round of the New Zealand Excellence Awards (NZEA) was announced earlier this month at a student and media event, with John Laxon, ENZ Regional Director for SSEA and actress Kriti Sanon, ENZ’s Brand Ambassador for India, on hand to present.
This round of NZEA is the biggest yet, with 34 scholarships together valued at $215,000 NZD. The scholarships are jointly funded by ENZ and all eight New Zealand universities, offering deserving Indian students partial scholarships to study at New Zealand universities.
On the back of the awards, ENZ also partnered with Universities New Zealand to launch the New Zealand Master’s campaign in India, promoting industry-linked 18-month taught Master’s qualifications for Indian students, with flexible options to suit a student’s career trajectory.
A dedicated microsite to help students explore options is now live.
ENZ’s Country Manager for India, Jugnu Roy, says both initiatives show there’s a growing interest among Indian students for tertiary qualifications in New Zealand universities.
“In particular, they are drawn to the flexible nature of the way New Zealand courses are structured and the fact that all our universities rank in top 3% of the world globally (QS world rankings).
“That they can access these ‘Future-proof’ programmes that help prepare students to enter the global marketplace is what makes us stand out as a study destination compared to other countries.
“Both of our announcements were well received by students and media – ENZ’s scholarship team saw a surge of high quality applications coming in for the 2018/19 round of NZEA.”
To amplify both announcements, ENZ and some New Zealand universities are organising a Counsellor Training Webinar later in the month to equip agents to help promote these initiatives to prospective students.

Helen Clark highlights Kiwi strengths
Talking with NAFSA CEO, Dr Esther Brimmer, Ms Clark shared her experiences as recent Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and memories of her time as New Zealand Prime Minister.
Kaylee Butters, ENZ’s Director, Student Engagement, said the event was a commanding display of New Zealand’s progressive and positive approach to social change, development and education.
“Diversity and inclusion were passionately discussed throughout the entire conference, and were brought to the fore again by Helen Clark at the luncheon.
“By highlighting New Zealand’s stability, democracy, multicultural heritage and our open, welcoming people, we can position New Zealand as a great place for international students, especially in the current climate of populist politics and global unease.”
At the end of the luncheon, the New Zealand delegation gathered to thank Ms Clark with a mihi and waiata, powerfully led by AUT alumni, Toiroa Williams and Atereano Mateariki.
Toiroa is interning at the Sundance Institute in Los Angeles as part of an AUT internship programme, and was thrilled to be a part of the New Zealand delegation.
“The entire conference was an amazing opportunity to be around people who are creating opportunities for students to study abroad and experience a new culture," said Toiroa.
“It makes me reflect on my own experience of being a young Māori from a rural community, and accessing Aotearoa’s education opportunities to end up in Los Angeles working in indigenous film.
“So the opportunity to share my experience with 'Aunty Helen' and the other attendees at NAFSA was amazing.”
