  • ENZ showcases New Zealand’s commitment to sustainability in education and UN SDGs in India

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) hosted a vibrant Sustainability Carnival on 14 November at the New Zealand High Commission in New Delhi to round off ENZ’s #SustainableTomorrow campaign that was designed to highlight New Zealand’s commitment to SDGs and sustainability in education.

    The event showcased New Zealand university course offerings and officially launched ENZ’s Sustainability Guide, a comprehensive resource profiling course offerings in sustainability at New Zealand universities and the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (NZIST).

    The event saw over 150 attendees, including representatives from five New Zealand universities, three Indian universities, and students, parents, and teachers from New Delhi’s international schools. The Sustainable Tomorrow campaign was launched as a comprehensive digital and social campaign to spotlight sustainability within the educational landscape. Through diverse activities, and partnerships, the campaign highlighted New Zealand's commitment to embedding sustainable practices in education. It reached 82,266 accounts via the New Zealand in India Instagram page, engaged 2,935 accounts and saw 165 profile visitors.

    As part of the campaign, ENZ launched a digital poster design competition for Indian high school students. Centred around the Innovating for a Sustainable Future theme, the competition aimed to raise awareness of key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 7 (Affordable and clean energy), Goal 9 (Industry, innovation, and infrastructure), Goal 12 (Responsible consumption and production), and Goal 13 (Climate action). The winning posters were unveiled and recognised at the Sustainability Carnival, which also featured a series of other exciting activities, including street plays performed by students on the importance of sustainability, as well as a croquet match with the New Zealand High Commissioner to India Patrick Rata.

    ENZ’s Director of Engagement, India and East Asia, Jugnu Roy, said the campaign did well to spotlight New Zealand’s strong credentials in sustainability stewardship to secondary school students, teachers and parents in India.

    “The campaign was a fantastic opportunity to highlight New Zealand universities’ sustainability leadership, particularly their top global ranking for sustainability stewardship in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2024.

    “The launch of the ENZ Sustainability Guide that promoted course offerings related to UN SDGs at New Zealand universities and Te Pūkenga really drove home the message about New Zealand’s commitment to a sustainable future that’s visible through our wide range of sustainability-focused education offerings,” Jugnu said.

  • From the Acting CE: Forward together

    Tēnā koutou katoa  

    Last week we took time internally to reflect on our work over the 2023/24 financial year. So much excellent work has happened over the past twelve months – it was wonderful to come together virtually as an organisation to celebrate the achievements. 

    There are good reasons to celebrate. International students are returning to New Zealand. The latest enrolment figures show that there were 69,135 international student enrolments with New Zealand education providers in 2023. This represents a 67 per cent increase compared to the full year in 2022 and 60 per cent of annual enrolments in 2019.  

    This is positive news for our education sector and good for our communities. 

    A key part of our strategy is to partner and connect and to be an enabler of international education for New Zealand, so I thought I would share with you some recent engagements with that in mind. 

    This past month I had the pleasure of speaking at the opening plenary session of the annual SIEBA (Schools International Education Business Association) conference in Auckland. The theme of the hui was Global Threads Local Ties. The school sector is very important to New Zealand’s international education offering. It is the second largest sub sector after universities, representing about 20 percent of the value of our entire industry and it is where we find the highest economic value and the greatest opportunity to pathway through to other New Zealand providers.  

    Likewise, in early August I was pleased to welcome to our Wellington office a delegation of twenty indigenous students visiting from the University of Toronto. Canada is one of New Zealand’s closest and longstanding international partners and it is pleasing to see indigenous-to-indigenous cooperation between both countries increasing. We are really noticing growing interest in this overseas as you will read in this article here. - Indigenous Internationalisation a hot topic 

    Turning our attention to the next 12 months, in June the ENZ Board approved our business plan for this financial year (1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025). The plan has four clear priorities: 

    • To grow and diversify the number and value of international students studying with New Zealand 

    • Partner and connect to be the trusted voice and enabler of international education for New Zealand 

    • To deliver sector growth through services that are valued by the sector, international students and New Zealand Inc partners, and 

    • Optimise ENZ to be a more efficient and effective Crown Agency. 

     When it comes to delivering valued sector services, the upcoming New Zealand International Education Conference (NZIEC KI TUA) in August will be provide an excellent opportunity to come together as a sector to listen, learn, discuss, contribute, and network with specialists and colleagues. 

     If you haven’t yet registered, I encourage you to check out the conference website. This year it will be held from 6 to 8 August 2024 at Tākina Convention Centre in Wellington.  

     We have a stellar line up of speakers and it promises to be an engaging and informative event.

  • May 2018 student visa summary2

  • Cancellation of NZIEC 2020

    The decision was made following discussion and consultation with sector representatives in relation to COVID-19.

    Although we are disappointed to have to make this decision, the health and safety of international education sector representatives is of paramount importance.

    While August may seem some time away, the nature of conference planning timeframes mean that a decision was required now. This decision provides certainty for all involved and also allows us to focus on other priorities during this unprecedented time.

    We will continue to look for ways to keep international education professionals informed and connected in the coming times. Keep an eye on E-News for the latest information.

    We look forward to being in touch later in the year as we start preparing for NZIEC 2021.
