Education Minister addresses first World Vocational and Technical Education Development Conference
The conference was jointly organised by Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO and the Tianjin Municipal People’s Government.
An audience comprising representatives from government departments, international organisations, trade associations, businesses, research groups and vocational education providers joined the hybrid event to discuss moving forward in the post pandemic era. Topics covered included digital empowerment, green technology, industry/education integration, skill development and poverty reduction, promotion of equity and lifelong learning.
The Minister outlined New Zealand’s recent experience of vocational education reform, highlighting the importance of integrated provider and work-based training, with learners and employers at the centre of the reform process. COVID-19 had continued to cause disruption around the world, but this also provided opportunities for change as countries plan for recovery, he said.
The Minister’s involvement in the conference highlighted the 50th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations between the two countries this year, as well as the long standing and deep collaboration between New Zealand and China in vocational education.

Te Wiki o te reo Māori - Māori Language Week 2022
The Ikubunkan Institute of Education in Tokyo facilitates a one-year study abroad programme for students to attend high schools in New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Pre-COVID, Ikubunkan sent 100 students annually to NZ for three terms at 100 public schools.
Because students have learned kapa haka/waiata at different schools they have developed their own Ikubunkan’s style of kapa haka when practising as one school.
Ikubunkan students performed haka for the former Māori Development Minister Te Ururoa Flavell, who visited the school in 2016. They also performed haka for the Prime Minister at the NZ Embassy Tokyo, when she visited Japan during the RWC in 2019.

PIF Recipient: Boma
Christchurch-based Boma is a new kind of education provider, on a mission to support current and emerging leaders to be more intentional, intelligent, and courageous for the future. Boma runs events, workshops, and courses, and has worked with leading organisations in Aotearoa and around the world, from global tech companies Facebook and Zoom to locally based organisations such as Meridian Energy, Stuff, and New Zealand Trade & Enterprise.
But it’s the next phase of Boma’s expansion that’s really set to make waves on the world stage. Thanks to an award of funding from the International Education Product Innovation Fund, Boma is creating a global, cohort-based course for rugby coaches delivered in partnership with The Crusaders – the Christchurch-based professional rugby team and the most successful team in the history of the Super Rugby competition.
Founder and CEO of Boma NZ, Kaila Colbin with Crusaders Coach, Scott Robinson
"We at Boma are so excited to be working with Education NZ and the Product Innovation Fund. We share so many things: a commitment to excellence; an agile test-learn-iterate approach; and a passion for bringing Aotearoa's special sauce to the world. We're honoured to have been chosen as one of the recipients of the fund, and we know we'll be able to go farther, faster by working together".
Kaila Colbin , Founder and CEO, Boma New Zealand
Aimed at rugby coaches from high school teams through to professional level, the Crusaders Coaching Leadership Programme™ will run for the first time in late 2022. Unlike competitors who offer training through on-demand video but generate low completion rates, Boma’s pilot project with The Crusaders combines the flexibility of self-directed learning with the accountability of being part of a real-time cohort of learners.
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) is the agency behind the Product Innovation Fund. As New Zealand’s dedicated government agency for international education, ENZ is helping shape a broader, more diverse international education sector with built-in resilience to future shocks such as global pandemics.
In total, seven pilot projects have been supported through the Product Innovation Fund. Together, they reimagine what a New Zealand education experience could look like and mean for global learners. Boma’s pilot project, for example, taps into a new audience – rugby coaches around the world looking to learn ‘The Crusaders Way’. Before COVID-19, rugby coaches from around the world would travel to New Zealand to learn what makes the team so successful.
By partnering with Boma, The Crusaders will be able to share their rugby and leadership expertise with learners around the world through a course offering that is high quality, consistent and scalable.
Boma has big plans for the future and sees a logical path for its course offerings to grow from rugby leadership into sports leadership, to business leadership and then into general leadership. Boma’s approach to learning is as much values-led as it is content-led, and this sets Boma apart from its competitors.
The support from ENZ through the Product Innovation Fund for Boma’s first pilot project with The Crusaders may well pave the way for more to follow. With a goal of building the leaders the world needs, Boma sees an opportunity to partner with other well-respected, values-led organisations like The Crusaders to create transformational, immersive learning experiences from New Zealand to the world.

NZISA President Vikram Selvaraj
NZISA President Vikram Selvaraj says this is a very special opportunity.
“Starting with Christchurch, where I’m based, was a great feeling for me personally. The idea for the Roadshow was so students could rebuild confidence, connect with other students and hear about the support that’s available.
The panel discussion in Christchurch included a range of speakers with an interest in international education.
“Students who attended felt inspired by the panel discussion, and we are hoping that we will have this event again next year.
“We’re looking forward to the next three Roadshow locations and connecting with many more international students.”
Students can find more details and sign up to attend the events through the NZISA Facebook page.
