  • From the CE: New beginnings

    Tēnā koutou katoa  

    This is my first column as Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao’s new Chief Executive.  

    To take up the role is an honour and a privilege. ENZ first came into existence while I was working at the Tertiary Education Commission, and I knew at the time that it was a special agency with huge potential. 

    My first three weeks in the job have been busy and productive. I have enjoyed getting around meeting our staff, our New Zealand Inc and sector partners, with more introductory engagements in the diary in the weeks ahead.  

    It is immediately clear that while the recovery is happening, and that students are returning, there is much to do, and no shortage of opportunity.  

    Later this month I’ll be heading to Beijing to attend the China Annual Conference and Expo for International Education (CACIE). New Zealand and China share a long and important relationship, and China remains our largest trading partner. I am looking forward to meeting with our education stakeholders during this visit, as well as meeting our team in market. 

    Lastly, I want to acknowledge Dr Linda Sissons and her incredible contribution as Acting Chief Executive over the past eleven months. I’ve really valued her wise counsel and am pleased I will be able to continue to draw on her deep knowledge and experience in her capacity as a member of the ENZ Board.  

    Thank you, Linda – he manawa tītī' koe – you are a person with great endurance, and ENZ has benefitted from your leadership over the past year. 

    Ngā mihi nui,

  • Showcasing New Zealand education in Saudi Arabia

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao and New Zealand providers were among 250 exhibitors from 21 countries at ICEE 2022. The New Zealand pavilion hosted representatives from University of Waikato, Victoria University of Wellington, and University of Otago, two English language providers – Languages International and Worldwide School of English – and four EdTech companies: Education Perfect, TTRO, ByteEd, and ADRI.

    The delegation presented a workshop on New Zealand as an education partner for Saudi Arabia, showcasing New Zealand’s education offering across key sectors: EdTech, English language, universities, and vocational training.

    ICEE provided an opportunity for delegation members to meet with key contacts in the Saudi Ministry of Education to support opportunities for New Zealand EdTech companies, discuss the implications of the Saudi Government’s new scholarships strategy for New Zealand universities, and look at potential cooperation between the Saudi Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) and the newly created Te Pūkenga.

  • Strong interest in Prime Minister’s Scholarships, now supported by new website

    More than 30 group applications were received for the PMSA, and ten for the PMSLA, before applications closed on Monday 16 May 2022 after a two-week deadline extension. The total value of applications was $8.7 million. Decisions will be announced before the end of June 2022, with travel expected to take place in the second half of 2022 and the first half of 2023. 

    The Prime Minister’s Scholarship programme supports educational experiences in Asia and Latin America for New Zealanders, and the latest round was open for group applications only. Universities, wānanga, institutes of technology and polytechnics, private training establishments, iwi and other educational organisations were able to apply for a programme on behalf of a group of people.  

    To ensure that a wider range of New Zealanders have access to the benefits of this programme, a new website was launched this month: http://scholarships.enz.govt.nz. The new website aims to help develop broader awareness and understanding of the scholarship for potential individual applicants, breakdown any barriers to participation, encourage diversity of applicants, particularly for rangatahi Māori, and improve people’s experience of participating in the scholarship.  

    The new website includes a ‘refer a future scholar’ feature. The addition is the result of the mahi of our Kāhui Kaupapa who wanted to acknowledge that often ‘Kāore te kūmara e kōrero mō tōna ake reka’ – the kūmara doesn't speak of its own sweetness. We can now offer an alternative for rangatahi, so they know that people in their community saw them as worthy recipients of the scholarship. The website also offers the opportunity for prospective applicants to subscribe to updates and announcements of upcoming rounds.  

    Since 2013, the PMSA and PMSLA have enabled more than 2,400 New Zealanders to broaden their horizons through life-changing learning experiences in Asia and Latin America. The scholarships are flexible and offer funding to support short or long-term programmes including study abroad / exchange, internships, postgraduate study, and language programmes.
