  • International education events July – December 2022

    The calendar includes a mixture of ENZ-run events and commercial and global events, designed to facilitate engagement with students, parents, agents and other stakeholders and show that New Zealand is open for business. 

    It’s exciting to be welcoming the sector back to events in partner countries, and to reconnect in person with students, parents and international education partners.  

    “We are really excited to be bringing back a number of events that our industry partners will be familiar with from before the pandemic,” says Ben Burrowes, ENZ’s Regional Director Asia.  

    “We are looking forward to welcoming industry partners back in country and reconnecting with them face-to-face. It's hugely important for us to be back out here, reassuring everyone that New Zealand is ready to start welcoming international students back to our shores.”  

    In April and May this year, ENZ held several engagement sessions with international education providers and ran a survey to inform decisions. We received positive feedback from the sector that they wanted to see events developed that would enable them to promote their offerings directly to students and other stakeholders in key countries, under the New Zealand education brand.  

    While we have seen international border restrictions soften for many countries, some still have various levels of border restrictions in place – ENZ will continue to monitor this as it could affect future events.  

    Our events calendar covers July – December 2022 initially and we will provide an update on the 2023 schedule later this year.

  • Thailand fair 2018 is on the horizon

    TIECA (Thai International Educational Consultants Association) is Thailand’s peak body of education agents with more than 70 members. In November, it will run the 33rd TIECA Study Abroad Expo.

    Jaruwan Pongjaruwat, ENZ’s Programme Manager for Thailand, said as the biggest fair led by agents in Thailand, the expo is a key event for all institutions interested in meeting Thai students and networking with member agencies.

    “TIECA has a very good connection with the Thai school network, and teachers are a big influence on bringing their students to the TIECA expo every year,” she said.

    “It is important to have New Zealand institutions joining this event to show New Zealand’s commitment to the Thai market.

    “It’s also a good opportunity for institutions to expand their connections with TIECA agents and to interact with students face-to-face.”

    The expo will include seminars about education systems in different countries and will focus on high schools, language schools and exchange organizations from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, UK, US and other countries.

  • NZIEC 2018: Register for AFS pre-conference workshops

    The partnership will see AFS deliver breakout sessions throughout conference as well as two pre-conference workshops exploring the conference theme of Inspiring Global Citizens.

    AFS is a leading global organisation promoting international study, with education and volunteer programmes across 98 countries empowering people of all ages and backgrounds with intercultural knowledge, skills and understanding.

    Grant McPherson, ENZ Chief Executive, said the partnership reflects New Zealand’s vibrant international education ecosystem.

    “AFS has a well-established track record of fostering global citizens so we’re delighted to have AFS contribute its expertise to our conference discussions relating to global citizenship,” said Grant.

     “NZIEC delegates may be particularly interested in exploring practical ways in which they can implement global competence within their institutions at AFS’ two in-depth pre-conference workshops.”

    AFS New Zealand National Director, Doris Cuthell, is excited about showcasing the organisation’s expertise at NZIEC.

    “AFS is honored to be a programme partner at such an event as the NZIEC.

    “We invite NZIEC delegates to join our pre-conference workshops and conference sessions for an opportunity to explore the area of global competence, which is a crucial component for any quality international education programme.”

    In addition to its breakout and pre-conference sessions, delegates can connect with AFS at their stand in the Expo Hall. 

    Register now for AFS pre-conference workshops

    AFS is offering two interactive pre-conference workshops on Wednesday 8 August. Numbers are limited. Secure your place through the links below.

    Pre-conference workshop 1: Global competence in international education: What is it? Why does it matter? How can I foster it?

    This workshop explores the concept of global competence, why it is of growing importance and why your organisation should be engaging with it.

    You will have a chance to participate in experiential activities that enhance intercultural skills. We will discuss strategies for implementing these activities in different settings and identify ways to turn brief experiences into long-lasting learning for your audience.

    Pre-conference workshop 2: High-tech solutions for global competence programmes

    Research shows that merely coming into contact with cultural differences doesn’t develop global competence in students. However, students do develop these skills when taught within a developmental, experiential and holistic framework.

    This workshop offers three frameworks that can provide a foundation for your curriculum to build global competence in both inbound and outbound students.

  • Recovery plan for the international education sector

     

    The Minister of Education has announced a long-term recovery plan for the international education sector.

    It includes a $51.6 million investment from the COVID-19 recovery and response fund to help reset New Zealand’s international education sector.

    The Plan consists of three concurrent workstreams that focus on stabilising the international education sector, strengthening the system, and accelerating the transformation of the sector as signalled in the 2018 International Education Strategy.

    It includes:   

    • $20 million in support for state and state-integrated schools to continue to employ the specialist international workforce to provide teaching and pastoral care to international students in New Zealand this year. 
    • $10 million targeted and immediate funding to private training providers of strategic importance (including English language schools) to preserve the foundations of the sector. MOE is developing eligibility criteria which will be implemented by TEC; providers can apply to TEC from mid-August.  
    • $1.5 million for English Language Schools to deliver English language training to migrants to help them to succeed in our schools and communities. 
    • $6.6 million to continue pastoral care and other activities normally funded by the Export Education Levy. 
    • $500k for NZQA to ensure the quality of New Zealand education being delivered offshore, and continue strengthening ongoing quality assurance processes.

    ENZ will administer:

    • $3 million for marketing and brand protection activities to keep New Zealand’s education brand visible in key markets and to ensure we capitalise on the strong international reputation New Zealand has gained through its handling of the COVID-19 crisis.
    • $10 million to develop new future-focused products and services to drive growth in our system onshore and offshore, to ensure a more resilient sector. This will include: 
    • An offshore pathways initiative to enable learners to begin their New Zealand education journey from their home country and to study programmes that pathway directly into bachelors and masters degrees in New Zealand, providing greater flexibility for learners and resilience to shocks. 
    • A New Zealand digital platform to provide a single strong New Zealand brand and presence to enable New Zealand providers to deliver their education products and study programmes to more people offshore, and to meet changing learner needs.  

    Education New Zealand will also support and drive the Recovery Plan through its annual activity. This will include brand positioning, maintaining engagement with students, partners and agents offshore, student retention and transitions, building the international reputation of New Zealand education, and working with the sector and regions on innovation and new modes of delivery.

    The Ministry of Education has developed criteria for the allocation of funding for Private Training Establishments (PTEs) and English language schools, to be implemented by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC). 

    Fund for PTEs in financial difficulty due to COVID-19

    The Private Training Establishment (PTE) Targeted Assistance Fund (TAF) closed on 11 September 2020. 

    PTE ESOL Provision Fund

    The PTE ESOL Provision Fund closed on 28 August 2020.
