• Annual survey shows continuing strong support for international students in New Zealand

  More than three quarters of 1,100 New Zealanders in the annual 2024 survey conducted by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) believe the country should host the same or more international students in New Zealand.

  This was the key finding of research, completed in October, to measure New Zealanders’ views on the contribution and challenges of international students studying in New Zealand.

  For the first time this year, the annual survey asked respondents if they wanted to see more or fewer international students in the country. Forty-one (41) percent of those surveyed said they would like to see more, with another 36 percent supporting the same number of students. Only 11 percent indicated they would like to see fewer international students arrive. 

  Positive perceptions of international students also continued to track strongly with 72 percent saying the students benefit New Zealand. This followed similar levels of support of 75 percent in 2023 and 73 percent in 2022.

  Commenting on the findings, ENZ’s Chief Executive, Amanda Malu, said the results reinforced the growing support and understanding of the contribution of international students to local communities and the country.

  “Since 2018 we have seen increasing support for the contribution international students make in key areas,” said Ms Malu.

  “Today 82 percent of New Zealanders agree that international students contribute to our cultural diversity, with 79 percent feeling they help local students learn about other cultures and ways of life, as well as contributing to local businesses during their studies.”

  “This level of support is enormously pleasing. It tells us we can continue to steadily grow the number of international students in New Zealand and that they will continue to receive a warm welcome in our communities.”

• New Zealand-China Early Childhood Education Symposium to be hosted in New Zealand for the first time

  The fifth annual New Zealand-China Early Childhood Education Symposium – themed around digital transformation in early childhood education – is set to take place at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury (UC) in Christchurch on 3 December.  

  This is the first time that the symposium will be hosted in New Zealand.  

  A 31-strong delegation from China across 21 universities, schools, kindergartens and government agencies will attend the event.  

  Co-organised by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), the China Center for International People-to-People Exchange (CCIPE) of the China Ministry of Education and UC, the symposium will see at least 25 presenters and 80 attendees from New Zealand and China present on a range of topics related to digital transformation in early childhood education. Audiences in New Zealand and China will also attend the symposium virtually. 

  Broad topics this year include emerging opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence in teachers’ work in early childhood education, the use of digital technologies for early childhood education assessment, and digital transformation for communication and collaboration with families. 

  The event aims to foster academic exchanges and cooperation in early childhood education between New Zealand and China.  

  In June, during the visit by Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Education Minister Huai Jinpeng to New Zealand, UC signed a partnership agreement with the CCIPE at the New Zealand-China High-level Education Forum in Auckland. UC is also a current New Zealand-China Tripartite Partnership Programme recipient with two Chinese partners, Shanghai Normal University and Qufu Normal University, around early childhood education.  

  ENZ Acting General Manager International Ben Burrowes said the symposium highlights the long and fruitful bilateral engagement between New Zealand and China across a number of education areas.  

  “I am delighted to have New Zealand host the event for the first time. We have seen the symposium grow and go from strength to strength over the last five years and nurture relationships between our early childhood education providers.  

  “I look forward to hearing from presenters across the education landscape in both our countries sharing insights on digital transformation in early childhood education,” Burrowes said. 

  The University of Canterbury is honored to be the first tertiary institution in New Zealand to host the symposium, says Professor Joce Nuttall, Executive Dean of UC’s Faculty of Education Te Kaupeka Ako.  

  “As a university committed to future-focused education and the creation of meaningful local and global impact, the symposium is an invaluable opportunity for UC to engage in discussions with peers across New Zealand and China on the future of early childhood education between our two countries.”  

  Since 2020, the New Zealand-China Education Symposium has explored a rich range of themes and inspirational presentations on early childhood education, including exploring best practice for developing high-quality early childhood education teachers, and sustainable development in early childhood education and care.
