  • Palmerston North’s education connections with Viet Nam

    The MoA signing is the latest development in the education relationship between Palmerston North and Ho Chi Minh City – an earlier agreement signed in 2014 had expired in 2019. Unlike the 2014 agreement, which only included a few education providers in Palmerston North, the renewed MoA captures a much broader range of institutions, from schools to tertiary providers.  

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao had helped to sustain this relationship in 2020, through the NZ Global Competence Certificate initiative. The Central Economic Development Agency and the Palmerston North City Council (PNCC) teamed up with ENZ to offer scholarships for 50 secondary school students in Manawatū and Ho Chi Minh City to increase their global competency – read more here. 

    The new MoA was signed by Palmerston North Mayor Grant Smith on behalf of PNCC and Deputy Director from Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Education and Training, Duong Tri Dung. It was witnessed by Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Van Trung, New Zealand Ambassador Tredene Dobson, and representatives of ENZ. 

    “Education arrangements like this help to further strengthen these ties. Building on sustained and increasing interest from New Zealand education providers to engage with institutional counterparts in Ho Chi Minh City, this will open a new chapter for collaboration and success for the respective cities,” Ms Dobson said.

  • Girls in Tech plugs women into a career with computers

    This year’s lucky recipients – the top 18 out of 436 total applicants – will have the opportunity to participate in fully funded courses with Hacktiv8, an Indonesian coding bootcamp and training provider.

    “We are so glad to be able to offer further learning opportunities to women in Indonesia who are either already in tech or thinking about entering this fast-growing industry,” ENZ Programme Manager, Naluri Bella Wati, said.

    It’s the sister initiative to ENZ and Girls in Tech Indonesia’s Arisan Digital 2020, a series of workshops delivered to members of Girls in Tech Indonesia and members of the public throughout last year.

    The workshops featured top New Zealand academics and covered a range of topics, including cyber security, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, big data, and more. A total of 1,141 women across 20 cities in Indonesia participated in the hybrid and then virtual sessions.

     “This industry-specific partnership with Girls in Tech allowed us to accomplish two key things: position New Zealand as a world leader in the area of tech education, and second, to showcase New Zealand’s unique teaching style in an innovative, offshore format,” Desiree said.

    Both Arisan 2020 and the Girls in Tech Scholarship are part of the government’s Recovery Plan for International Education, under the internationalisation section of the ‘strengthening the system’ stream.
