  • International students welcomed to the capital

    More than 300 students from over 20 countries attended the official welcome to New Zealand’s coolest little capital last week.

    The event was held at the Michael Fowler Centre and organised by WREDA (Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency).

    Wellington City Mayor Justin Lester was on hand to give the students a warm welcome alongside current international student Khang (Kyle) Phan from Massey University.

    The students learned about Kiwi culture through a series of interactive and fun activities. Students were introduced to Māori culture with a Kapa Haka performance from local Wellington group, Te Kapa Haka o Pukehuia. They also had a chance to cuddle puppies and bunnies with SPCA staff, learn juggling and tricks from the Circus Hub, try on police vests and hats and have a go at rugby alongside a few Hurricanes players.

    As well as celebrating Kiwi culture, the event was a chance to celebrate students’ own cultural backgrounds. Many prizes were given out on the day including a free helicopter tour to the student who was judged best dressed in the traditional clothes of their home country.

    Chloe Kincaid, WREDA Project Coordinator for the event said that international students are an important part of the Wellington community.

    “Each year, thousands of international students find a second home in Wellington, bringing a rich cultural diversity to our schools and community,” said Chloe.

    “This event is another way for Wellington to welcome and celebrate all of our wonderful international students.”

  • Ministerial visit reinforces higher education and research partnerships with India

    New Zealand has advanced its strategic objectives for international education through a high-level ministerial visit to India, reinforcing higher education, research and innovation partnerships with one of New Zealand’s priority markets.

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) supported Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, Hon Dr Shane Reti’s visit to New Delhi in February.

    The visit had Minister Reti attending the AI Impact Summit and engaging with senior government, academic and innovation leaders, and highlighted education’s role in strengthening bilateral relationships and supporting New Zealand’s long-term economic and research ambitions.

    The programme also included a bilateral meeting with India’s Minister of Education, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, providing an opportunity to share higher education reforms, discuss ambitions under the refreshed New Zealand-India Education Cooperation Arrangement.

    A key focus was Minister Reti’s visit to the New Zealand Centre at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), a flagship joint initiative established in 2020 by all eight New Zealand universities in partnership with IIT Delhi. The Centre provides a platform for joint research, academic exchange and long-term collaboration, particularly in science and technology.

    During the visit, discussions focused on the next phase of engagement under the New Zealand Centre, with proposed collaboration areas including medical technology, energy, environment and climate.

    The IIT Delhi visit was also an opportunity to demonstrate impact of experiential learning and joint research with students from New Zealand universities (also recipients of the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia) presenting innovative projects developed alongside IIT Delhi students.

    ENZ Director of Engagement – India, Jugnu Roy said the visit strongly aligned with New Zealand’s international education priorities.

    “India is a critical partner for New Zealand’s future in education, research and innovation,” Jugnu said.

    “This visit showcased the strength of our university-to-university collaboration and reinforced how platforms such as the New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi can deliver meaningful outcomes for both countries.

    “By strengthening institutional partnerships, supporting student pathways and deepening research collaboration, this engagement positions New Zealand as a trusted, long-term education partner for India.”
