  • Cancellation of NZIEC 2020

    The decision was made following discussion and consultation with sector representatives in relation to COVID-19.

    Although we are disappointed to have to make this decision, the health and safety of international education sector representatives is of paramount importance.

    While August may seem some time away, the nature of conference planning timeframes mean that a decision was required now. This decision provides certainty for all involved and also allows us to focus on other priorities during this unprecedented time.

    We will continue to look for ways to keep international education professionals informed and connected in the coming times. Keep an eye on E-News for the latest information.

    We look forward to being in touch later in the year as we start preparing for NZIEC 2021. 

  • Consultation on NCEA offshore delivery

    The proposal would close a legislative loophole which allows private schools and tertiary education providers to award NCEA offshore.

    Exceptions would be made to allow the continued awarding of NCEA through Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu for domestic students based offshore, and where government relationships exist to support it (such as in the Cook Islands and Niue). Where tertiary education providers are awarding standards that lead to other qualifications as well as NCEA, they will continue to be able to award standards leading to those other qualifications. 

    As NCEA has been developed for a New Zealand context, it is not readily transferable internationally. Therefore, awarding NCEA for study done overseas would present difficulties in moderation and quality assurance, which could create risks to the quality and international credibility of NCEA qualifications.

    The Ministry would like to hear your views on this proposal.

    Consultation closes 14 June 2019.
