  • International education contributes $5.1 billion to New Zealand

    Announced by Education Minister Chris Hipkins, the figure consists of $4.8 billion attributed to international students visiting New Zealand and $0.3 billion to education and training goods and services delivered offshore. This places international education (onshore and offshore delivery) as New Zealand’s fourth largest export industry.

    The report, based on 2017 data, also shows that 49,631 jobs are supported by the international education sector.

    ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson says the figures reflect the hard work of education providers, government and everyday New Zealanders who welcome international students into their homes and communities.

    “While economic contribution is one positive aspect of international education, it also brings a range of social and cultural benefits.

    “This is reflected in the International Education Strategy, which sets out a path for the future of New Zealand’s international education sector focussed on offering an excellent student experience and building a sustainable sector that provides benefits for all New Zealanders.”

    National infographics, as well as regional infographics covering Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty (including Tauranga, the Western Bay of Plenty and Rotorua), Waikato, Taranaki, Manawatu, Whanganui, Wellington, Hawke’s Bay, Nelson-Marlborough-Tasman, Canterbury, Otago (including Dunedin and Queenstown) and Southland, are available here.

  • NZQA update for Thai students

    The Council of University Presidents Thailand has agreed to support continuation of the NCEA Level 2 - Matthayom 6 qualifications recognition arrangement, whereby Thai universities will continue to use the equivalence criteria to make their admission decisions.

    This arrangement provides two options for students to meet requirements for NCEA Level 2 - Matthayom 6 equivalency. Students who meet either of these options are eligible to apply for study at a Thai university under the Thai University Central Admission System.

    The criteria for these options can be found on the NZQA website, which should be used to advise students on their programme planning and subject choices.

  • Connecting with industry (2017)

    The 2017 Connect roadshow attracted 250 participants in eight sessions and offered an opportunity for ENZ to update participants on what’s happening globally and nationally in international education, to share ENZ’s strategic direction for the coming year and to receive feedback from industry.

    Greg said ENZ currently has four strategic priorities: leading international education in thinking and implementation, telling our stories in New Zealand, driving more value to New Zealand through student mobility and supporting offshore delivery for value to New Zealand.

    “In these sessions we were able to share with industry what we have done and what we plan to do to meet these goals,” said Greg.

    “We then heard directly from providers about what ENZ initiatives they value the most, and how we could better help them.”

    Better market intelligence was a common theme in feedback from attendees. There was therefore a positive response to the news that, in August, ENZ will launch Intellilab, a new intelligence portal that will serve as a one-stop-shop for easily accessible data to help providers make well-informed decisions.

    Providers also said they appreciated the opportunity to talk directly with senior ENZ staff, to ask questions and to network with other industry professionals.

    “We’re taking this on-board. Going forward, Connect will be a regular part of our annual calendar,” said Greg.

    Attendees also noted that telling the international education story in New Zealand should be a key priority for ENZ.

    “Because we’re in this industry, we see the richness, diversity and global connectedness that international students bring everyday – but that often isn’t reflected in the media,” said Greg.

    “We encourage providers to share their own stories with media as often as possible.”

    Greg said it is an exciting time to be involved in international education and that the Connect sessions provided a chance to celebrate what the industry has achieved over the past nine months.

    “We know there are challenges but there’s also lots to be proud of. Connect was a chance to remind us all of this.”

    ENZ is currently collating feedback from the sessions to be sent out with the Connect presentation to attendees later this month.

  • Advertising opportunity in Japan

    The publication is the only of its kind supported by the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo and Education New Zealand. It distributes 20,000 copies to Japanese schools, universities and education organisations as well as education fairs and seminars.  

     

    “After the Rugby World Cup in 2019, New Zealand has had an increased presence and visibility in Japan. This is a great opportunity to leverage off the New Zealand country profile to promote your institution and region,” says ENZ Senior Market Development Manager – Japan, Misa Kitaoka. 

     

    “This guidebook is a great opportunity for regional bodies and individual providers to promote their offering. Furthermore, because destination marketing is a key part of education promotion in Japan, Kbunsha is offering a separate advertising rate for regional groups.” 

     

    To advertise, bookings must be made by 13 March 2020.
