  • Education ties with China

    People’s Republic of China Education Minister Huai Jinpeng and New Zealand’s Education Minister Chris Hipkins met virtually on 23 August 2022. This was their first meeting since Minister Huai took up his appointment in August last year.   

    During the meeting, ministers and officials signed the renewal of the Education Cooperation Arrangement between the two Ministries of Education. Co-operation in higher education, vocational education as well as early childhood education were among the topics discussed. Both ministers expressed the importance they place upon our mutually beneficial education relationship and our people-to-people ties.

    This year New Zealand and China are celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations, and people – Tangata – is one of the key themes for the celebrations. 

    ENZ’s Director for Greater China, Miranda Herbert, say that the Covid-19 restrictions currently in place in China continue to affect people’s ability to move around or meet in person. 

    “We are constantly looking for ways to continue engaging with key people in China,” she said.  

    “Holding this meeting virtually was a way for us to maintain and build our government-to-government relationships, even though there has been a pause in mobility. 

    “The discussion between ministers highlighted the strong foundation of the education relationship  and the continued collaboration across initiatives such as the Tripartite Partnership Programme, the Early Childhood Education Symposium and forums on vocational education and training.  

    Looking ahead there will be further events and initiatives to continue to build people-to-people links in the education sector.  

  • Masterclass opportunity in Japan

    Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education will be hosting a virtual study abroad event on 23 of September, connecting secondary school students in Tokyo and beyond with tertiary institutions from Australia and New Zealand.

    This half-day event will feature lectures in an interactive format so providers can engage with Japanese students. Selected tertiary institutions will also have an opportunity to work with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education to produce additional content introducing their institutions and programmes to prospective international students. 

    Recordings will be made for the virtual study abroad event and will be shared on the Tokyo English Channel website which will launch in June 2021.

    “This is a great opportunity for Education New Zealand and New Zealand tertiary providers to work with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education to co-develop educational materials for the Japanese secondary school students. The content produced for the event will also be shared at future promotional events hosted by Education New Zealand and the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo.” ENZ Director of Education – Japan, Misa Kitaoka, says.

    Director at the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, Yuki Sato, looks forward to receiving proposals from the New Zealand providers.

    “We are excited to work with New Zealand tertiary institutions to showcase the virtual study abroad event offering Tokyo secondary school students an opportunity to connect with the world and enhance their communication skills in English. Students can expect of learn new ways of thinking from the lecturers and interact with other participants from around the world, including New Zealand.”   

    Education New Zealand signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education in 2017 to promote education exchange and cooperation between Tokyo and New Zealand. Since then, a range of projects have been initiated between the two parties including the co-development of online education material for intermediate English learners through the Tokyo Global Studio.

    For further details on the opportunity, please download the proposal by the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education. Expression of interest is due on 25 of May and the selected provides will be contacted by Education New Zealand by the 31 of May.  

  • Indian Academic Masterclasses showcase a different side of New Zealand

    Each masterclass invites academics and experts in their field to talk on an unusual theme within education, and how New Zealand has a strength in it.

    “The academic masterclass series is a programme we’ve done for many years. We’ve had great success boosting the profile of Kiwi academics in India, and showcasing the breadth and depth of New Zealand research,” ENZ Country Manager – India, Jugnu Roy, says.

    “This year, we’re very happy to be exploring areas of research to ensure the reputation of New Zealand researchers remains high in India while international travel remains limited.”
