  • Join ENZ’s virtual Latin America regional update

    The session – set to take place on Wednesday 5 April at 9 am NZT – is an opportunity for those who are both new to the sector, or wanting to re-establish links in the region, to hear updates from our LatAm team.  

    As the New Zealand international education sector rebuilds, Latin America provides New Zealand institutions with an opportunity for diversification. New Zealand has well-established links in the region, with many strong connections in the fields of education, academic research, government, business, and agriculture.  

    Following the re-opening of borders in 2022, New Zealand has recently welcomed high school student groups on exchange from Brazil and Colombia. In turn, New Zealand students have travelled to Latin America as part of the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Latin America, participating in study tours and exchanges in Chile, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.  

    To learn more about the Latin America region, be sure to register for the session on this link

  • Applications are open for the Europe and Latin America Engagement Fund

    The aim of this funding is to support engagement activities with education agents from Europe, Brazil and Colombia. New Zealand institutions are welcome to submit proposals and apply for up to $3000 per project. We will fund up to 15 projects that focus on engaging with agents from Europe, Brazil and Colombia.

    ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye, said ENZ has a strong and loyal network of agents in Europe, especially Germany and Italy.

    “They are keen for support and engagement with New Zealand institutions, and welcome opportunities for events and promotional activities. This initiative is a wonderful opportunity for New Zealand education providers to promote their education offering through building education agent networks.” 

    Proposed activities should be completed during the second half of 2023 and have firm goals and outcomes in place. Examples of activities are a scholarship campaign, contribution to bringing an agent to New Zealand for a famil, or supporting a trip to attend an event organised by agents.

    ENZ’s Director of Engagement – Latin America, Javiera Visedo said education agents in Latin America are keen to learn more about what a New Zealand education has to offer, with students excited at the prospect of studying here. Reconnecting with New Zealand education providers is a top priority for them.”

    Applications are open to New Zealand institutions only. This includes New Zealand education providers such as universities, Private Training Establishments (PTEs), English Language Schools (ELS), regional economic development agencies, schools, and peak bodies. Some providers may wish to work together to submit their applications, for example high schools or ELS.  

    To apply, visit this page. Once applications close, they will be reviewed by a panel of ENZ staff according to the guidelines included on page 5 of the Request for Proposal document.

  • Report concludes international education can recover and grow

    In 2019, international education’s direct financial contribution to New Zealand’s GDP was $3.7 billion using the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) methodology. This contribution was reduced to an estimated $0.8 billion in 2020 by the pandemic. The CGE methodology applied by EY to determine the contribution was supported by MBIE and MoE and is more rigorous than previous analyses. 

    Having established the direct financial contribution, EY explored the extent of the indirect longer-term contribution to New Zealand’s GDP from the small proportion international students that remain in New Zealand after completion of their studies. 

    EY found that international students living and working in New Zealand in 2019 and 2022 contributed economic, social, cultural, and international benefits. Using NZ Statistics Department IDI data and CGE modelling, EY found that these students contributed in the order of $6 billion in the form of labour supply and productivity to New Zealand’s GDP in both 2019 and 2022.  

    Determining this contribution involved estimating the GDP output and wage impacts associated with New Zealand educated international students who remained in New Zealand and transitioned into the domestic workforce in the 10 years leading up to each year. 

    ENZ Chief Executive, Grant McPherson said, “This report confirms the tough time the sector has had over the past two years, highlights the contribution it made in the past, the contribution it makes beyond economic value, and tells us that it is possible to become a vibrant, sustainable and resilient sector in the future.” 

    The majority of international students, 62%, return to their country of origin after they have completed their studies. A further 13% leave New Zealand after their post-study work experience meaning that in total 75% have returned home after three years, according to the research. 

    More broadly, EY concluded there is evidence that international education can enable New Zealand students to develop global competence within a structured teaching environment, and contributes to soft power in diplomacy, trade and perceptions of New Zealand through a range of mechanisms. Broader impacts for Māori are potentially also present across each area of impact from international education. These impacts were not directly quantifiable.
