  • Spotlight on Sri Lanka: A growing market for New Zealand

    The international student demand from Sri Lanka is strengthening across universities, private training establishments (PTEs) and institutes of technology and polytechnics (ITPs).

    New Zealand’s growing popularity is also evident in international student enrolment trends: 3,120 Sri Lankan students enrolled for study in New Zealand between January and August 2025, marking an impressive 57 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024.

    ENZ’s Market Manager – Sri Lanka, Monika Chaudhary said New Zealand’s growing popularity in Sri Lanka as a study destination reflects both rising aspirations among Sri Lankan learners and their strong confidence in New Zealand’s education offering.

    “With strong momentum building organically in Sri Lanka, ENZ is supporting this opportunity by investing in its marketing efforts, combining out-of-home advertising, promotions on radio, social media channels and an expanded “New Zealand Taught Me” campaign.

    “This campaign showcases authentic stories of Sri Lankan students studying in New Zealand – helping build aspiration and trust in the New Zealand brand,” Monika said.

    A highlight of ENZ’s promotions in the market is the first ever Study with New Zealand Roadshow to be held in Sri Lanka from 5-8 March, featuring 19 New Zealand education institutions across three subsectors.

    The roadshow aims to strengthen institutional partnerships, increase visibility of New Zealand’s education offering in Sri Lankan schools, and provide targeted support for education agents through seminars and capability‑building sessions.

    ENZ is also partnering with Thames International to deliver the Colombo and Kandy student fairs on 7-8 March, supported by extensive promotions, including digital promotions through Study with New Zealand channels that will help nurture prospective students and maintain their interest in New Zealand education offerings beyond the events.

    This coordinated effort reflects New Zealand’s long-term commitment to Sri Lanka as a market with strong and sustainable growth potential across the entire tertiary sector.

  • 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.

  • Winners of KIWI Challenge announced

    This year was the first where university students were able to enter a new category alongside the schools' challenge.  

    The winning teams from Petra Christian University and USG Education headed off strong competition from eight other finalists, drawing praise from the judges for their solutions to support youth-led Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).  

    Finalists presented to a panel of judges from University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka and Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), who were cohosting the initiative.  

    Both winning teams received a voucher valued at 10,000,000 Indonesian Rupiah (approximately 1,000NZD) as well as virtual internships from the University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka commencing in semester one, 2025. 

    Tech-led solutions 

    A team from Petra Christian University developed an app ‘Partify’ which connects emerging small businesses and keen part-time workers. Businesses post part-time jobs, and workers swipe to find flexible gigs nearby, with AI matching candidates based on skills, location, and availability. 

    Partify university winner – ENZ market manager Naluri Bella and University of Otago Regional Market Manager Sarah Ewing present the award for First Place in the University category to team members from Petra Christian University for their app ‘Partify’.

    In the high school category, a team from USG Education took the top prize with ‘LAW4MSME’, a platform allowing small businesses to access legal information and advice.

    Explaining the group’s business idea, team leader for LAW4MSME, David Francis said the students found that Indonesian youth-led SMEs lack knowledge of the laws and regulations needed to run their businesses. 

    “To address this, we developed an AI bot that educates SME owners on these regulations, helping them navigate legal requirements more effectively,” David said. 

    The KIWI Challenge competition aims to inspire youth across Indonesia to engage in entrepreneurial activities and help resolve societal issues. Over the five years the competition has run, 1000 Indonesian youth have participated. This year, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) partnered with University of Otago to co-host the initiative.  

    This year’s competition included 49 teams with a total of 221 student participants.  

    Mentorship key 

    Mentorship is a key element of the competition. The finalists attended a workshop run by Associate Professor Dr Conor O’Kane, Head of the Bachelor of Entrepreneurship programme at Otago Business School. This assisted entrants to develop their ideas and refine business plans.  

    ENZ Acting General Manager International Ben Burrowes said he’s delighted to see the continued development of the KIWI Challenge.  

    “Inviting university students for the first time has given us the opportunity to include a whole new cohort of talented young entrepreneurs, and we have been very impressed with the quality and creativity of their submissions,” Ben said. 

    “The competition has also benefitted from the enthusiasm and expertise of our colleagues at the University of Otago, and we are grateful for their willingness to partner with us for the KIWI challenge’s fifth year.” 

    Dr O’Kane said it was inspiring to witness the quality of entrepreneurial thinking among Indonesian students. 

    “These students have very bright futures. The concepts and programmes the finalists presented were remarkable and captured the impressive ability of the teams to identify tangible business problems and visualise and communicate a solution to these challenges,” Dr O’Kane said.
