Sino-New Zealand vocational teacher training in China
As part of its Model Programme work plan for 2018-2019, a Sino-New Zealand Vocational Education Model Programme Teacher Training Base was established last week in Qingdao Technical College (QTC), one of the key Chinese institution partners for New Zealand ITPs.
Attendees at the launch included programme partners David Christiansen, Acting CEO of Wintec, and Liu Yufeng, Director from CIVTE, and Liu Baoming, Deputy Director General of CIVTE (Central Institute of Vocational and Technical Education).
Adele Bryant, ENZ’s Regional Director – China & North Asia said while Chinese TVET teachers have previously travelled to New Zealand to learn from ITPs about curriculum development, teaching and learning approaches, the base offers another avenue – bringing learning to Chinese teachers who cannot travel to New Zealand.
“The training has been well-received by Chinese teachers who have taken what they learned in New Zealand and put it into effect in classrooms in China. New Zealand institutions have also benefited from the development of new relationships that have formed over the years as more Chinese colleges have entered the programme,” said Adele.
New Zealand and China have collaborated on vocational education since 2013 when the two countries signed the Strategic Education Partnership Arrangement to encourage joint projects and enhance policy and research dialogue in the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector.
The Chinese government is due to release its National Implementation Plan for Vocational Education Reform soon and is expected to continue to give high priority and significant investment to the upgrading of its vocational workforce.
According to the Chinese Ministry of Education, in 2017 there were 1,388 higher vocational education institutions and 8,181 secondary vocational colleges in China.

Publishing Association NZ launch international education website
Supported by funding from Education New Zealand Manpou ki te Ao (ENZ) under the Future Focus Programme (FFP), the new website profiles New Zealand education publishers for key export markets and customers. Earlier FFP research highlighted that being visible online was one of the key challenges facing New Zealand education publishers seeking to grow their exports.
The website enables education publishers to showcase New Zealand’s pioneering work in Reading Recovery, Big Book shared reading, and resources for the revitalisation of New Zealand’s indigenous Māori language and culture.
It aims to support marketing efforts in the key markets of Australia, China, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It will also be used to support New Zealand’s presence at major education publishing events, such as Bologna Children’s Book Fair and the Frankfurt Book Fair, in 2022 and beyond.
The website allows for a quick and easy search including by publisher, category, and publishing rights and demonstrates the quality of education products and services developed in New Zealand.
Alana Pellow, Business Development Manager at ENZ, says Catriona Ferguson, Association Director of PANZ and her team worked hard to bring this website to life, with the help of education publishers who provided great content.
“The outcome is a user-friendly, appealing and comprehensive website that will showcase the unique products and services of our education publishers to the world,” says Alana.
