New Zealand teaching showcased in Thailand
The teachers came from 60 provinces across Thailand to attend the four-day event, along with Chortip Pramoolpol, ENZ Marketing and Strategic Relations Manager – Thailand, and Karen Rutherford, Head of School of AUT International House.
The event provided teachers with new guidelines and teaching techniques to ensure their students get the most from their classes.
AUT conducted a training session showcasing the New Zealand teaching style, which Chortip said received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Karen Rutherford speaks with Thai teachers.
“Teachers commented on how practical and hands-on it was."
"It helped tighten the education collaboration between New Zealand and Thailand and provided a great platform to raise awareness of us to the teachers and participating government agencies.”
AUT will also select and sponsor one teacher to receive one month of complimentary English language training.
The event was organised by Brand Suntory (Thailand) Co., Ltd in partnership with the Office of Basic Education Commission, Ministry of Education and Kasetsart University.
The Brand’s Tutor Summer Camp ran from 29 June to 1 August 2017.

Thailand retention campaign launches to encourage long-term study in New Zealand
ENZ Thailand has launched a retention campaign to encourage students from Thailand who have previously studied here to return to New Zealand for further study.
Students who choose to continue their education in New Zealand will be eligible for an air fare scholarship (valued up to NZD $3,000), making it easier for them to travel and transition into long-term study. At least 25 New Zealand education providers have volunteered to subsidise the award.
The campaign has already generated strong interest. It was launched at the New Zealand Summer Pre-Departure Orientation on 1 March in Bangkok with over 240 students and parents in attendance.
The scheme will work with students or education agents providing proof of previous study. Once the students are in New Zealand, they can rebate the air fare through coordination with their agents.
Education providers involved in the campaign:
Universities:
- Lincoln University
- University of Canterbury
- University of Otago
Schools:

Consultation to further strengthen the Code of Practice
The consultation is part of efforts to continue supporting education providers to deliver quality education to international students.
The Code requires all schools and tertiary providers enrolling international students to take all reasonable steps to protect international students and provide a positive experience that supports their educational achievement.
Since the new Code of Practice took effect on 1 July 2016, some Code signatories and sector bodies have provided feedback on certain matters.
The Ministry wants to hear from schools, tertiary organisations, sector peak bodies and international students and their families on these issues and possible ways to address them.
Consultation will end on 29 August. All submissions will be reviewed and recommendations made to improve the Code.
Click here for further information about the consultation process and to make a submission, or email international.division@education.govt.nz with questions.
