  • From the Acting CE: NZIEC KI TUA a great success

    Kia ora e te whānau, 

    What a few weeks it has been! The 31st New Zealand International Education Conference (NZIEC) KI TUA was the absolute highlight of the past month. It was a huge success and a huge undertaking involving all parts of the Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.  

    It was an incredible honour for Manapou ki te Ao and the international education sector to have the President of India, Honourable Smt Shrimati Droupadi Murmu, address delegates.  

    In her keynote, President Murmu spoke about the strong and growing education ties between India and New Zealand and about how she saw education institutions in both countries collaborating in a number of fields, including vocational education, machine learning, AI, environmental studies, as well as cultural exchanges. She also placed great importance on the power of knowledge as an enabler of connections between our people. In closing, she expressed heartfelt gratitude to ENZ and our Government for honouring India in such a special way. 

    I also attended the State banquet at Government House in honour of the Indian President and took the opportunity to brief Ministers and senior New Zealand Inc officials present on the value of the President’s attendance and words at our conference.  

    Ahead of the conference, ENZ Board Chair Tracey Bridges and I were delighted to welcome Dr Fanta Aw, the Executive Director and CEO of NAFSA, and Dr LaNitra Berger, a NAFSA Board member, with a mihi whakatau at our Wellington office.  

    NAFSA, which is the Association of International Educators, annually hosts the largest global professional learning and networking event for all international educators and organisations that support international education. The meeting was a welcome opportunity to connect with the leaders of this important organisation. Dr Aw’s keynote laid clear the importance of international education and the challenges it faces.  

    I am incredibly proud of what was achieved collectively by ENZ and the whole sector at NZIEC KI TUA. It speaks positively of the progress made over the past two years since the borders reopened and the energy and drive we are all bringing to keeping the momentum. 

    To those of you that made the time and for the many who travelled from afar to attend, thank you! It was an absolute pleasure to have you in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington. 

    Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari kē he toa takitini  

    My success should not be bestowed onto me alone, it was not individual success but the success of a collective.   

    Ngā mihi

  • Summer down under

    With COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on international travel in force, many students are choosing to stay in New Zealand over summer rather than go home because in most cases, they will not be able to return for the start of the 2022 academic year.

    ENZ’s Director of Student Experience and Global Citizens, Sahinde Pala, says it will be the second unexpected summer in New Zealand for many students.

    “Those international students who are still here have shown amazing resilience.  We know how hard it can be to be separated from loved ones at home for so long. 

    “But the early results from our research suggest they have remained remarkably positive about the overall New Zealand experience, despite the challenges.”

    ENZ is supporting students again this summer with information and resources on health and wellbeing, exploring the country and building their work skills.

    The Summer in New Zealand section of the NauMai NZ website for international students offers information, advice and links to expert resources.  These include a webinar featuring careers expert Andrew Tui to give them practical tips on how to build their professional and personal skills.

    “ENZ would like to acknowledge all the work the people in the international education sector are doing to support their students over the summer, and we invite you to share our resources with your networks.

    “We wish everyone a summer in New Zealand that is safe and restful,” Ms Pala says.

  • Letter from the CE: Living the brand

    I would like to offer a very big thank you to education providers up and down the country for the genuine support and compassion you gave to your students and families after the terrorist attacks in Christchurch. You embodied New Zealand’s brand values.

    I would especially like to acknowledge the work that went into ensuring accurate, appropriate messages were given to students, parents and other key parties, and the ongoing efforts to visit, and speak and comfort, affected people personally.

    Because of this amazing level of support, international students are continuing to have positive experiences in New Zealand. We have heard of very few cases of international students returning home, and in some cases, the warmth in our response has only reaffirmed their decision to study here.

    Here at ENZ, we are continuing to respond in a market-specific way to ensure New Zealand remains a sought-after study destination.

    These progressive and inclusive values Kiwis have demonstrated in recent weeks will be reflected in the ‘Think New’ brand refresh currently underway. It strengthens New Zealand’s identity as a welcoming study destination for all students, with strong cultural values and a future-focussed teaching style and learning environment where students can prepare for the future.

    We look forward to sharing it with you later in the year.
