• Leadership team changes at ENZ

  Regional Directors join ENZ’s Executive Team

  

  ENZ’s three Regional Directors – Alex Grace for China and North Asia; John Laxon for South and South East Asia and Middle East; and Lisa Futschek for Europe and Americas – have been appointed to ENZ’s Executive Team. This will ensure that international market conditions and issues have greater visibility in our discussions and decisions.

  Incoming Regional Director, China and North Asia

  Adele Bryant is preparing to take over the role of Regional Director, China and North Asia from Alex Grace who leaves ENZ in June. Adele brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her new role including her significant achievements with the universities sector, and her international experience with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade before joining ENZ. Amongst her MFAT roles directly relevant to the ENZ Regional Director role, Adele worked as Head of the China Unit, was Consul General in Hong Kong and was Deputy Director APEC.  Adele will move to Beijing shortly.

  New GM Strategy and Insight

  Clive Jones is our new GM Strategy and Insight. This is a new role with an important mission to lead and coordinate ENZ’s strategic thinking, priority projects and major initiatives. He’ll be focusing on some key initiatives that have the potential to make a big difference for the future of international education. Clive was previously ENZ’s GM Business Development.

  Successor to GM Industry Development

  Greg Scott has been promoted to replace Clive as GM Industry Development. Greg was previously ENZ’s South Island Business Development Manager and led our Regional Partnership Programme. In his new role, Greg will lead ENZ’s team of business development and project managers, based in our four New Zealand offices, who are tasked with supporting international education providers to achieve sustainable industry growth across New Zealand.

  Student Marketing expands focus

  As part of ENZ’s recently expanded focus on the entire ‘student journey’ – from ‘prospective student’ to ‘student experience’ to ‘alumni and advocate’, we have refocused our Student Marketing team around five areas: student acquisition; events and agents; student engagement; student experience; and student scholarships.

  Internal promotions

  Kaylee Butters has been promoted to Director, Student Engagement, and Euan Howden is promoted to Director, Student Acquisition. 

   

  New Director, Student Experience

  Hayley Shields has joined ENZ as Director of Student Experience. Hayley recently led international marketing and business development for the University of Auckland. She has had an extensive career in international education in Australia and New Zealand, including with University of New South Wales, University of Melbourne and CPA Australia. Based in Auckland, she will work with industry stakeholders, government and community agencies and students to deliver a shared vision of a unique and quality student experience for all international students. This work will be informed by the International Student Wellbeing Strategy, the development of which has been led by the Ministry of Education.

• Consultation on NCEA offshore delivery

  The proposal would close a legislative loophole which allows private schools and tertiary education providers to award NCEA offshore.

  Exceptions would be made to allow the continued awarding of NCEA through Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu for domestic students based offshore, and where government relationships exist to support it (such as in the Cook Islands and Niue). Where tertiary education providers are awarding standards that lead to other qualifications as well as NCEA, they will continue to be able to award standards leading to those other qualifications. 

  As NCEA has been developed for a New Zealand context, it is not readily transferable internationally. Therefore, awarding NCEA for study done overseas would present difficulties in moderation and quality assurance, which could create risks to the quality and international credibility of NCEA qualifications.

  The Ministry would like to hear your views on this proposal.

  Consultation closes 14 June 2019.

• India’s Welcome2NewZealand series kick-starts event season

  Jugnu Roy, ENZ’s Country Manager for India, said Welcome2NewZealand was an opportunity to discuss the current visa regulations, thank agents for their patience through uncertain times and a recent drop in student numbers, and to emphasise ENZ’s student recruitment strategy of moving from volume to value.

  "We were very pleased with how the sessions went and have had positive feedback,” said Jugnu.

  Held in New Delhi and Chandigarh, the event had ENZ Recognised Agents (ENZRA), licensed immigration advisors (LIA) and other high-performing student consultants in attendance, along with NZ Inc partners.

  Welcome2NewZealand included sessions on ENZ’s strategy for the India market, and an update from Immigration New Zealand on policy instructions and how they would like to work with high-performing agents to get high-calibre students into New Zealand.

  The New Zealand High Commissioner to India, Joanna Kempkers, chaired the sessions, along with John Laxon, ENZ’s Regional Director South and South East Asia and Middle East, and Daniel Smidt, Area Manager for INZ.

  Jugnu said similar events for agents are planned in other Indian cities later this year.

  In Bengaluru, ENZ partnered with the FPP EduExpo fair for the first time, following good reviews from colleagues in other markets.

  Jugnu said the event was a nice change from previous student fairs that have been very USA- and Australia-focussed.

  “In India, we wanted to explore a multi-country event. It’s a cost effective way of flying the New Zealand flag and profiling the country as a world class study destination.” 

  Jugnu said more than 1000 students attended the fair, with some 77 percent looking at postgraduate qualifications overseas.

  “A number of Bangalore students were interested in courses at New Zealand institutions, ranging from environment and sustainability, architecture, biochemistry to specialist engineering programmes.

  “It emphasised the importance of student fairs in profiling New Zealand as a high-quality education destination, attracting capable and talented Indian students.”
