  • New Zealand showcased at Expo Exterior and to leading Chilean universities 

    At Expo Exterior, ENZ Director of Engagement Javiera Visedo joined a governmental panel on the topic ‘Bridges to the Future: Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, allies of Chilean talent’.  

    Javiera spoke alongside Austrade Director of Education, Scott Bennet; Embassy of Ireland Deputy Head of Mission, Fergal Horgan and Blue Studies International Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Palacios.  

    The expo provided an excellent platform to connect with students and families eager to explore global opportunities, highlighting New Zealand’s position as a welcoming and inclusive study destination.  

    From L to R: ENZ Director of Engagement Javiera Visedo, alongside fellow panellists; Austrade Director of Education, Scott Bennet; Embassy of Ireland Deputy Head of Mission, Fergal Horgan; and Blue Studies International Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Palacios.

    In addition to Expo Exterior, ENZ participated in international fairs at Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and Universidad San Sebastián in Concepción.  

    The fairs gave ENZ a valuable chance to talk directly with students, parents, and academics, helping strengthen relationships with potential to develop new partnerships and long-term collaboration between New Zealand and Chile. 

    Director of Engagement Javiera Visedo said this activity contributes significantly to ENZ’s strategic objectives under the International Education Going for Growth plan, particularly in boosting brand awareness.  

    “While New Zealand enjoys a strong reputation in Chile, competition in the international education market is intense. By being present at these events, we connect with prospective students and build trust with parents and academic leaders who often influence study decisions,” she said.

  • Masterclass opportunity in Japan

    Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education will be hosting a virtual study abroad event on 23 of September, connecting secondary school students in Tokyo and beyond with tertiary institutions from Australia and New Zealand.

    This half-day event will feature lectures in an interactive format so providers can engage with Japanese students. Selected tertiary institutions will also have an opportunity to work with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education to produce additional content introducing their institutions and programmes to prospective international students. 

    Recordings will be made for the virtual study abroad event and will be shared on the Tokyo English Channel website which will launch in June 2021.

    “This is a great opportunity for Education New Zealand and New Zealand tertiary providers to work with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education to co-develop educational materials for the Japanese secondary school students. The content produced for the event will also be shared at future promotional events hosted by Education New Zealand and the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo.” ENZ Director of Education – Japan, Misa Kitaoka, says.

    Director at the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, Yuki Sato, looks forward to receiving proposals from the New Zealand providers.

    “We are excited to work with New Zealand tertiary institutions to showcase the virtual study abroad event offering Tokyo secondary school students an opportunity to connect with the world and enhance their communication skills in English. Students can expect of learn new ways of thinking from the lecturers and interact with other participants from around the world, including New Zealand.”   

    Education New Zealand signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education in 2017 to promote education exchange and cooperation between Tokyo and New Zealand. Since then, a range of projects have been initiated between the two parties including the co-development of online education material for intermediate English learners through the Tokyo Global Studio.

    For further details on the opportunity, please download the proposal by the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education. Expression of interest is due on 25 of May and the selected provides will be contacted by Education New Zealand by the 31 of May.

  • Changes to English language testing

    NZQA has published the result of its consultation on proposed changes to its Rules, including the removal of Rule 18.6. Institutions will no longer be able to provide internal English language proficiency assessments.

    The change aims to ensure prospective students at TEOs have evidence of English language proficiency for enrolment. They must use one of the eight globally recognised international tests specified in Rule 18, such as IELTS and the Pearson Test of English.

    This is one of nine changes that will come into effect on 22 August 2018. A transition period for institutions that currently provide such assessments is allowed until 31 December 2018, if an exemption notice is applied for.

    As a result of the consultation feedback, NZQA and ENZ also identified an opportunity for New Zealand to develop its own standardised English language proficiency test.

    ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson says ENZ is now exploring how such a test could work.

    “We are having preliminary discussions to explore the feasibility of the industry developing a New Zealand-based language test which providers could choose to use.”

    Education providers should review their policies against the new Rules relevant to them, to ensure compliance for when they come into effect.
