Your chance to provide input into the new international education strategy
Education New Zealand, working with the Ministry of Education, is leading the development of a new international education strategy.
International education touches many parts of our country and many individuals, organisations and businesses. We want everybody to see themselves reflected in the new strategy and we’d like to hear from you. We’ve provided some questions to help get your thinking started.
Building sustainable growth in international education will require a diversified and innovative approach that looks to the future. Everything is on the table in this engagement and development phase.Please give us your thoughts on:
- What success in international education looks like in 2025? You might consider the social, cultural and economic values of international education, as well as outcomes and experiences.
- What you see as the three absolute priorities for international education in New Zealand?
Please email your thoughts to the ENZ strategy team at: strategy@enz.govt.nz
We won’t reply directly to your email. You will have the chance to provide feedback on the draft strategy during the online consultation period from mid-December.

Mapping emerging trends in education
ENZ General Manager – Student Marketing, Paul Irwin, said attendees really enjoyed tackling these big issues during the Crowdsource Café session.
“Our audience uncovered some really interesting themes and thoughts for us all to reflect on. Ideas included focusing less on competition and more on collaboration, for example the opportunity to build your own degree across New Zealand.
“We also talked about how everyone is the student of the future. There will be more opportunities for lifelong learning and there will be a greater need to upskill due to automation,” Paul said.
ENZ Regional Director – South Asia, South East Asia and Middle East, John Laxon said participants also agreed that the learner of the future will prefer personalised, flexible learning.
“The modes of delivery will change as we move towards students being able to learn anywhere, anytime.
“Another theme that came through was a move towards offering shorter programmes, targeting life-long learners.”
John said there was great discussion about moving towards diversified, individualised learning programmes that are globally recognised.
“It’s definitely an exciting time to be involved in international education,” he said.
