• New Zealand grows education partnerships at one of China’s largest international education events

  New Zealand education took centre stage at the China Annual Conference and Expo for International Education (CACIE) and China Education Expo (CEE) in Beijing, where New Zealand was honoured as the 2025 Country of Honour.

  New Zealand’s Minister for Universities and Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, Hon Dr Shane Reti, led a delegation of 25 tertiary education providers to China for the conference.

  During the visit, Minister Reti met with Chinese Minister of Education Huai Jinpeng, opened the second New Zealand-China High-Level Education Forum, and the New Zealand Pavilion at CEE. He also met with Chinese Minister of Science and Technology Dr Yin Hejun to advance bilateral research and science cooperation.

  Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) Chief Executive Amanda Malu says the event was a powerful platform to highlight the quality and innovation of New Zealand’s education system to one of our most important global education partners.

  “Being the Country of Honour at CACIE and CEE gave us an unparalleled opportunity to demonstrate why New Zealand is a world-class education destination,” says Malu.

  “Our education offering is backed by strong student outcomes and a reputation for safety, inclusivity, and innovation, qualities that resonate strongly with Chinese students and their families.”

  The New Zealand Pavilion at CEE attracted thousands of prospective students, parents, and education partners, while CACIE provided a forum for high-level engagement between New Zealand and Chinese education leaders. 

  The visit saw ENZ sign a letter of intent with the China Center for International People-to-People Exchange to strengthen cooperation, specifically institutional relationships across vocational education, higher education, and schools. 

  Another significant outcome was the formalisation of 32 new partnerships between New Zealand education institutions and their Chinese counterparts, with many focused on transnational education programmes.

  “These partnerships are more than agreements on paper, they represent real opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and pathways for students to experience the best of both countries,” Malu says.

  “China continues to be a key partner in our international education sector, and events like CACIE reinforce the trust and mutual respect that underpin this relationship.”

  With over 22,000 Chinese students enrolled in New Zealand in the first term of 2025, the strong interest at CEE reflects the enduring appeal of a New Zealand education.

  “International students consistently tell us that their experience in New Zealand is positive and transformative,” Malu adds.

  “That lived experience is our strongest endorsement, and it’s why we’re confident that the connections made at CACIE will translate into more students choosing New Zealand as their study destination.”

• Connecting careers in Bay of Plenty and Waikato

  This new online resource hub supports international secondary school students to pursue tertiary education and employment opportunities in the regions.  

  Secondary schools can use the tool to showcase the exciting range of opportunities in the students’ backyard. It encourages them to explore, plan, connect and succeed. 

  International students staying in the regions bring many benefits, including addressing skill shortages in key industries where skilled workers are in high demand, increased spending and promoting global citizenship and diversity. 

  Education Tauranga regional relationship manager Melissa Gillingham says providing a comprehensive international student journey plan is becoming increasingly important. 

  “This allows students and their parents to see the opportunities that exist in the regions, from the school sector, into the tertiary sector and through to employment,” she says. 

  “Excellent existing relationships across all education sectors within our region allowed us to hit the ground running, creating, delivering and promoting our international student journey plan. We would like to thank all our stakeholders for their support.” 

  Education Tauranga partnered with Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao, Te Waka and Rotorua NZ to help bring Career Connect to life.

• ENZ roadshow heading to South America in 2025!

  The South American region has significant potential to grow international student numbers to New Zealand. ENZ is excited to help facilitate this growth with a series of agent-facing events in Bogota, Colombia, São Paulo, Brazil, and Santiago, Chile. 

  Representatives from all New Zealand's education subsectors are invited to participate, with New Zealand Private Training Establishments (PTEs) and English Language Schools (ELS) particularly encouraged, seeing as both subsectors have been identified as having significant opportunities for growth in this region in ENZ's 2024/25 Business Plan. 

  The events offer New Zealand providers the opportunity to deliver presentations to local education agents, meet with them one-on-one, and network at a closing function. 

  ENZ's Director of Engagement for Latin America, Javiera Visedo, said that these seminars will offer a great opportunity for New Zealand institutions to reconnect with high performing South American education agents.  

  “In 2023, we had 3,124 students from Latin America studying in New Zealand which is a 68% increase from 2022 but a long way off pre-Covid levels,” said Javiera. 

  She added “in organising this series of events for early next year, we want to to keep facilitating the ongoing connection of New Zealand’s providers with key agents in the region, putting New Zealand front of mind as they assist students in their international study decision making processes". 

  Any education providers who are interested in receiving more information about the events and register to attend, can do so here - https://enzevents.eventsair.com/EduNZ/2025-south-america-roadshow/info.
