  • Cricket great bats for NMIT

    NMIT chief executive Tony Gray said the cricketer is a household name in Sri Lanka and India.  These are both important markets for overseas student recruitment, making Jayawardena an influential asset for NMIT.

    "We’re fortunate to have such a superstar batting for NMIT. He has been a regular visitor to NMIT and genuinely believes in the opportunities that NMIT can give fellow Sri Lankans,” said Tony.

    "Having Mahela as brand ambassador will help us show Sri Lankan students that Nelson and Marlborough are the places to come to study and enjoy life at the same time."

    The arrangement will see Jayawardena promoting the educational attractions of NMIT in Sri Lanka, appearing on banners, posters, videos and social media for the institute.

    Tony Gray says NMIT wants to build its Sri Lanka numbers, especially students attracted to accountancy and business programmes. Currently, less than 20 per cent of Sri Lankan students who want to attend university in Sri Lanka are able to gain a place due to high demand and limited spaces - making overseas education very attractive.

    "We already have more than 30 Sri Lankans studying at NMIT and living in Nelson. They fit in very well, speak very good English and work hard,” said Tony.

  • EOIs sought for 2025 PTE and ITP Roadshow in the Philippines

    As part of Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao’s (ENZ) ongoing efforts to expand the Philippines market for Private Training Establishments (PTE) and Te Pūkenga (Business Divisions – ITP) sub-sectors, ENZ will be leading a roadshow from 1–10 May 2025. This roadshow will include an agent seminar and three student fairs with three days allocated to each location in Manila, Bacolod and Cebu.

    The agent seminar will bring together PTE and ITP representatives and education agents while the student fairs will offer prospective students and their families an opportunity to meet with sector representatives and gather detailed information about studying in New Zealand.  

    In addition to the fairs and seminar, the programme will feature a school roadshow and a counsellors' dinner. The school roadshow will provide information sessions for secondary school students while the counsellors’ dinner will be an opportunity for participants to meet with school counsellors.

  • ENZ survey to understand the supply of student accommodation is underway

    The availability of accommodation for international students is often cited by our education partners as a potential barrier to the growth of the international education sector here in New Zealand. To date, evidence of this as a barrier has been anecdotal from individual providers and regions, with no specific data to offer a clear picture on the actual situation and extent of it.  

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) is therefore conducting a survey of international education providers with the aim to understand more about any potential or actual shortages, where and what accommodation type, and why that be, at a regional, sub-sector and national level. While the survey aims to better understand capacity issues and whether it is a barrier for growth in any part of New Zealand, we importantly want to build an evidence base to then enable tracking over time if a need is identified. Survey results will be shared with peak bodies and regions at an aggregated level to inform cross sector regional conversations and planning to address any issues found.  

    The survey link has already been sent out to the peak bodies who are forwarding this on to their members. If you are an international education provider here in New Zealand with experience in international student accommodation and have not yet received an email with the survey link, please email SectorEngagementTeam@enz.govt.nz. The survey will be open from now until 1 March 2024.  

    This is an inaugural survey and if you think a key question or aspect has been missed and should be included in future surveys, please use the free text box to capture this.
