  • Spotlight on Sri Lanka: A growing market for New Zealand

    The international student demand from Sri Lanka is strengthening across universities, private training establishments (PTEs) and institutes of technology and polytechnics (ITPs).

    New Zealand’s growing popularity is also evident in international student enrolment trends: 3,120 Sri Lankan students enrolled for study in New Zealand between January and August 2025, marking an impressive 57 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024.

    ENZ’s Market Manager – Sri Lanka, Monika Chaudhary said New Zealand’s growing popularity in Sri Lanka as a study destination reflects both rising aspirations among Sri Lankan learners and their strong confidence in New Zealand’s education offering.

    “With strong momentum building organically in Sri Lanka, ENZ is supporting this opportunity by investing in its marketing efforts, combining out-of-home advertising, promotions on radio, social media channels and an expanded “New Zealand Taught Me” campaign.

    “This campaign showcases authentic stories of Sri Lankan students studying in New Zealand – helping build aspiration and trust in the New Zealand brand,” Monika said.

    Watch below ENZ’s recent feature that highlights the journey of Manodya, a Sri Lankan student in New Zealand.  

    A highlight of ENZ’s promotions in the market is the first ever Study with New Zealand Roadshow to be held in Sri Lanka from 5-8 March, featuring 19 New Zealand education institutions across three subsectors.

    The roadshow aims to strengthen institutional partnerships, increase visibility of New Zealand’s education offering in Sri Lankan schools, and provide targeted support for education agents through seminars and capability‑building sessions.

    ENZ is also partnering with Thames International to deliver the Colombo and Kandy student fairs on 7-8 March, supported by extensive promotions, including digital promotions through Study with New Zealand channels that will help nurture prospective students and maintain their interest in New Zealand education offerings beyond the events.

    This coordinated effort reflects New Zealand’s long-term commitment to Sri Lanka as a market with strong and sustainable growth potential across the entire tertiary sector.

  • New Zealand universities continue to top world sustainability rankings

    The 2025 QS World University Rankings: Sustainability were released yesterday, highlighting that New Zealand’s universities continue to lead the way when it comes to environmental, social and governance sustainability. The rankings by QS Quacquarelli Symonds are in their third year and measure an institution’s ability to tackle the world’s greatest sustainability challenges.  

    New Zealand came out top country overall based on the average score of our universities for Environmental Impact and Governance, in addition to the Equality and Environmental Education lenses (among countries with at least eight universities ranked). This is good news for universities as they look to attract students to their campuses especially as QS Destination: Australia and New Zealand report 2024, found that 63% of students interested in studying in New Zealand say environmental sustainability was very or extremely important. 

    Ben Sowter, QS Vice President, said: “New Zealand’s higher education sector has long been a world leader in sustainability and this year’s results show yet again that the country punches above its weight, surpassing many of its international competitors. 

    “However, this year’s results also show that universities in other countries are improving their sustainability efforts, with New Zealand’s institutions advised to enhance their offers in areas of governance, employability and outcomes and health and wellbeing.” 

    The 2025 rankings showcase over 1,740 universities from 107 countries and territories. This reflects significant growth from last year’s rankings which included 1,397 institutions across 95 locations and more than 1,000 institutions since the inaugural rankings in 2022.  

    Jessica Turner, CEO of QS said that “The QS Sustainability Rankings provide a critical benchmarking tool for universities to evaluate their progress across areas such as knowledge exchange, equality, environmental impact, and governance. As more institutions engage with this framework, the increasing competitiveness of the ranking reflects the growing commitment globally to advancing sustainability in higher education.”

  • From the CE: Accountability and balance

    ENZ has experienced a challenging operating environment in recent years, and it continues to work through changing expectations. In order to best prepare the organisation for the challenges ahead, I recently initiated an organisational restructure, the decisions of which were released to staff this week following a two-week consultation process. 

    I have been very clear as to what I am looking to achieve and have set out the following driving principles of:

    • Clear accountability for the delivery of core services and enabling support.
    • Achieving a balance between New Zealand based and offshore capability.
    • Improving decision making, communication and collaboration by ensuring appropriate spans of control.
    • Optimising spend, where appropriate, to meet government expectations.
    • Identifying and creating opportunities for investment into the future capability needed to deliver our strategy.
    • Positioning ENZ to deliver at speed, with agility and reinforce a culture of high performance.

    Key changes include a realignment and reduction of Senior Leadership roles by more than half, a focus on lifting the capability and resourcing of our international teams, changes for Sector Engagement and Services with a pivot toward a stronger focus on international services, and the creation of a Strategy, Capability and Performance Group. In total 28 roles have been disestablished with 17 new roles created. 

    ENZ now moves into a process to fill these new roles – with leadership roles to be advertised externally shortly. The new organisational structure will come into effect on 3 February 2025. 

    Change is never easy and I understand how difficult this has been for our ENZ team. I am very proud of the professional way everyone has engaged with this process. 

    I appreciate your understanding and patience for our people as we work through the implementation of this new structure. In the meantime, your key contacts and teams will remain the same. I will be able to provide a further update in the New Year.

    Kindness to all people is a great treasure.
