    Outcomes from the 2025 Fund recipients

    The 2025 Tripartite Partnership Fund recipients completed their projects in May 2026, reporting strong progress in academic collaboration and student mobility, along with joint publication submissions.

    One project, led by Associate Professor Fiona Ell from the University of Auckland, focused on preparing future teachers in mathematics and science through comparative study and exchange between New Zealand and China. 

    The project delivered three key outcomes:

    • completion of comparative policy analysis on mathematics and science teacher education policies in both countries
    • examining the signature teacher education pedagogies in both countries to learn about new ways to prepare teachers
    • delivery of reciprocal exchange visits, enabling in-person observation of school and university practice in both countries.

  • Trans-Tasman collaboration on show in Antofagasta

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) worked alongside Austrade and Study Queensland to deliver university seminars, school visits and a student mini fair, reaching more than 300 students and parents.

    The programme promoted New Zealand’s education offering, with a focus on English language studies as an entry point and clear pathways into higher education and other subsectors. Activities included engagement with leading institutions in the region including Universidad de Antofagasta (UA), Universidad Católica del Norte (UCN), Antofagasta International School (AIS) and Colegio San Marcos.

    ENZ contributed to seminars on the future of mining, highlighting how New Zealand's education system supports the needs of this key regional industry. School visits and a student mini fair also gave students and families the opportunity to explore study options and connect with education agents for tailored guidance.

    Javiera Visedo, ENZ’s Director of Engagement – Latin America, says the programme helped build awareness of New Zealand’s education opportunities in a region with strong potential.

    “A key highlight of the programme was the collaboration with Australian partners, which enabled a joint promotion of Oceania as a study destination,” says Ms Visedo.

    “Australia already has strong recognition in the region, particularly through the mining sector. Working together allows us to position New Zealand alongside that strength while reinforcing a collaborative rather than competitive approach.”

    Local agents played a key role throughout the programme, engaging with students and parents and helping translate interest into tangible study pathways. The activities also strengthened relationships established through previous engagements in the market.

    The visit demonstrated the value of regional engagement and trans-Tasman collaboration in expanding awareness of New Zealand’s education offering and maintaining a strong presence in northern Chile.
