  • NZ-based education agents engage with sector

    “This proved to be a really useful opportunity for sector representatives to reconnect with New Zealand-based education agents,” says Geneviève Rousseau Cung, Partnerships Manager at Education New Zealand Manpou ki te Ao (ENZ). 

    Agents heard presentations from Immigration New Zealand and Te Pūkenga during the fair. ENZ spoke about the I AM NEW brand campaign which was launched at NAFSA at the end of May 2022.

    Ms Rousseau Cung says this is the second year that ENZ has organised an event like this for locally based agents.

    “It’s crucial to keep engaging with ENZ Recognised Agents, given their important role in promoting a New Zealand education and connecting prospective students and their families with education providers,” Ms Rousseau Cung says.

    “New Zealand-based agents in particular were adversely affected by the border closure, and so it’s great to support their work as we reconnect with the world.”

    Attendees rated the event as being highly valuable as an opportunity to get up to date information and re-engage face-to-face.

    “We particularly appreciated the networking opportunity and understanding how ENZ is marketing New Zealand to the world,” one agent commented.

  • Girls in Tech Scholarships – Indonesia

    This is the second year of the scholarship programme, organised by Girls in Tech Indonesia, an international NGO focused on empowering women in technology, working with Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ).  

    “This scholarship programme showcases a New Zealand learning experience. It also represents a commitment to support Indonesian women's development in the technology field,” says Ben Burrowes, ENZ’s Regional Director Asia.

    Riza, Nurulita Aida Rahmasari, a nutritionist and one of the 2021 awardees, says she found the course extremely worthwhile: “The most exciting moment is when I completed the final project using data about nutrition in Indonesia. As someone who knows nothing about programming, I could complete the eight-week course with a simple analysis using Python. I am hoping that I can use these new skills to gather data that is useful to make a strategic decision for the government, specifically to improve conditions of Indonesians regarding nutrition and health.” 

    This year’s scholarship awardees have already started on their first course in data analytics with Code Avengers, a Hamilton-based edtech company focussed on digital learning. They will take part in a variety of training courses, including product management, until September. Training will be delivered by Code Avengers and by Remote Skills Academy, an Indonesian-based training provider. 

    "We want more women to have digital skills and to be confident using practical technologies that can open up more opportunities for them to take jobs in this field,” Mr Burrowes says.  

    “We also want to provide an opportunity for scholarship recipients to experience learning with a New Zealand institution, through our collaboration with Code Avengers.”
