  • Education New Zealand targets $4.4 billion by 2027

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) today announced its plan to grow the international education sector over the next three years. The strategy, which aims to build the economic contribution of international education to $4.4 billion by 2027, focuses on growing and diversifying the number of international students studying in New Zealand. 

    “International education has made a good start to its recovery with more than 69,000 enrolments in the first full academic year since borders reopened and universities returning to 86% of pre-pandemic numbers,” said ENZ Acting Chief Executive Dr Linda Sissons today. 

    “The government has a goal of doubling the value of export earnings in ten years and international education has its part to play.” 

    “In the first year of the strategy the focus is putting additional investment into markets we have identified with growth potential. These include India, Viet Nam, and the Philippines, and some specific sectors within markets like Japan and Thailand. We need to start now to grow awareness of New Zealand in these markets if we are to achieve our growth targets. Moving forward, we will continue to seek growth through diversifying markets while maintaining our strength in traditional markets such as China and India.” 

     “As a small agency with a finite budget, ENZ needs to be very smart and maximise every opportunity for New Zealand,” said Dr Sissons.  “We look to use the potential of Scale, Impact, and Leverage as the measuring rods for everything we do, as we commit to the Government’s Export Double goal”. 

    The strategy is the result of extensive consultation with the international education sectors, partner Government agencies and comes on the back of a productive 12 months for Education New Zealand. 

    In the past 12 months Education New Zealand student attraction activities have delivered: 

    • More than two million visits to the Study with New Zealand website 

    • Added more than 69,000 prospective students to its database 

    • More than 22,000 individuals have made enquiries to providers regarding study 

    • Our business-to-business activities targeting education agents delivered 33 webinars to over 1,800 participants 

    • 18 in-country events delivered in five countries (Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, China) 

    • The New Zealand International Education Conference KI TUA 2023 to 599 delegates 

    • 50 new indigenous to indigenous networks and partnerships 

    • Sector satisfaction with ENZ topped 77% 

    ENZ’s offshore team provides significant support to overseas visits by representatives of the international education sector and the New Zealand government, building and deepening relationships said Dr Sissons. In 2024 this included a visit by representatives of all New Zealand Universities to India in February, and ENZ supporting the education component of the Prime Ministerial Trade Missions to Southeast Asia and Japan.  

    The agency also supports education visits to New Zealand. Very recently this included the visit of Chinese Premier Li Qiang, which included China’s Education Minister Huai Jinpeng.   

    It was the second visit by Minister Huai to New Zealand in ten months, and highlighted the strong momentum our bilateral education relationship. In 2023 ENZ also delivered the Prime Minister’s Scholarships to Asia and Latin America (PMSA/LA) which sees New Zealanders travel internationally for learning experiences and administers the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship programme for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). The Manaaki Scholarships offers scholarships to eligible citizens from developing countries to study at a New Zealand education institution or university or at a Pacific university.  

    In 2023 these important programmes have awarded: 

    • 118 individual PMSA/LA scholarships  

    • 20 group PMSA/LA scholarships  

    • NZIEC KI TUA 2023 delivered with 599 delegates 

    • 861 Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships awarded 

    “I am very pleased and proud of the results the team at Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao has delivered alongside the sector. We have more to do,” said Dr Sissons.

  • Study with New Zealand online launched for adult professional learners

    The Study with New Zealand Online platform – an outcome of the Strategic Recovery Plan for International Education 2020 – is a New Zealand owned and branded platform that offers global learners a new way to engage with a New Zealand education.  

    Study with New Zealand Online has up to 60 courses available from 20 + education providers. 

    ENZ’s General Manager – Sector Engagement, Wendy Kerr, said the pilot learning platform aims to tap into the adult professional learner market. 

    “Our research shows that there is a significant career-oriented, adult learner market that is looking for ways to advance within their current career. Study with New Zealand Online aims to tap into that market and test if there is value in what New Zealand can offer uniquely.  

    “Good examples of courses unique to New Zealand are a short course on sustainability in the wine industry delivered by NMIT | Te Pūkenga. If you are in the wine industry, you clearly know New Zealand wines and our expertise in sustainability. The same goes for an ECE course offered by Te Rito Maioho ECNZ, which showcases New Zealand’s bicultural approach in this field.”  

    Kerr says, “We know how hard the pandemic was on international education. We know this project is about exploring new and different ways to deliver, and new and different audiences for, the New Zealand education experience. The goal is to diversify and build resilience.”  

    Findings from the Study with New Zealand Online pilot will help inform insights and recommendations on how New Zealand’s education sector could transform to a more sustainable future state through the diversification of our international education offerings.
