  • 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,

  • ENZ seeks Expressions of Interest to grow the Thai schools’ sector

    In 2023, enrolments from Thailand were the fifth largest for New Zealand’s schools with most enrolments coming from students living in Bangkok. Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) is now looking to grow this market by collaborating with New Zealand schools and regional Thai education agents to build partnerships with schools in cities outside the capital city (referred to as ‘second tier’ cities).

    The initiative, called the Thailand Second Tier City Promotion is planned to run in 2025-2026. ENZ is currently seeking feedback from New Zealand schools to measure interest in participating in the promotion and is running a survey until Tuesday 30 October 2024 for interested schools. 

    Collaborative school clusters are invited to participate in the initiative which will form sister school partnerships with regional Thai schools. Each cluster should consist of at least three schools.

    Through these partnerships, a wide range of study options for Thai students and schools will be available. This may include short-term 4-week school immersion programmes, 1 to 2 terms or full year study programmes, teacher trainings, virtual interaction, online curriculum-based collaborative projects etc. 

    ENZ’s Acting General Manager - International, Mr Ben Burrowes, said that over the years New Zealand has built a very strong reputation as a high-quality education destination particularly amongst students from Bangkok. He says that this helped the market rebound significantly post-Covid. 

    “With the international education market in Bangkok now highly saturated, ENZ sees this promotion as a good opportunity to help schools reach an untapped market in regions across Thailand. 

    “Through working with high performing regional education agencies and in collaboration with New Zealand schools, our initiative aims to support the development of sister school partnerships in each province,” said Ben.  

    “This is a strategic move to raise the profile of New Zealand’s school sector and grow interests from a new pool of prospective students and their parents,” added Ben. 

    If your school is interested in exploring this opportunity, please fill out this survey by Tuesday 30 October to help us match your interest with our upcoming initiative.  Additional information can be found in this document. If you have any questions, you can email these through to NZ’s Market Manager – Philippines & Thailand, Chortip Pramoolpol Chortip.Pramoolpol@enz.govt.nz.

  • EOIs sought for 2025 PTE and ITP Roadshow in the Philippines

    As part of Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao’s (ENZ) ongoing efforts to expand the Philippines market for Private Training Establishments (PTE) and Te Pūkenga (Business Divisions – ITP) sub-sectors, ENZ will be leading a roadshow from 1–10 May 2025. This roadshow will include an agent seminar and three student fairs with three days allocated to each location in Manila, Bacolod and Cebu.  

    The roadshow’s objectives are to increase awareness of New Zealand’s education offerings, particularly in the PTE and ITP sub-sectors, and to support the growth of inbound student mobility. Additionally, the roadshow seeks to strengthen existing relationships between agents and institutions. 

    The agent seminar will bring together PTE and ITP representatives and education agents while the student fairs will offer prospective students and their families an opportunity to meet with sector representatives and gather detailed information about studying in New Zealand.  

    In addition to the fairs and seminar, the programme will feature a school roadshow and a counsellors' dinner. The school roadshow will provide information sessions for secondary school students while the counsellors’ dinner will be an opportunity for participants to meet with school counsellors.  

    For further details, please refer to this Expression of Interest document. Interested participants should confirm their interest with their Business Development Manager by 5pm (NZT), 29 November 2024.
