  • Education ties with China

    People’s Republic of China Education Minister Huai Jinpeng and New Zealand’s Education Minister Chris Hipkins met virtually on 23 August 2022. This was their first meeting since Minister Huai took up his appointment in August last year.   

    During the meeting, ministers and officials signed the renewal of the Education Cooperation Arrangement between the two Ministries of Education. Co-operation in higher education, vocational education as well as early childhood education were among the topics discussed. Both ministers expressed the importance they place upon our mutually beneficial education relationship and our people-to-people ties.

    This year New Zealand and China are celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations, and people – Tangata – is one of the key themes for the celebrations. 

    ENZ’s Director for Greater China, Miranda Herbert, say that the Covid-19 restrictions currently in place in China continue to affect people’s ability to move around or meet in person. 

    “We are constantly looking for ways to continue engaging with key people in China,” she said.  

    “Holding this meeting virtually was a way for us to maintain and build our government-to-government relationships, even though there has been a pause in mobility. 

    “The discussion between ministers highlighted the strong foundation of the education relationship  and the continued collaboration across initiatives such as the Tripartite Partnership Programme, the Early Childhood Education Symposium and forums on vocational education and training.  

    Looking ahead there will be further events and initiatives to continue to build people-to-people links in the education sector.

    University researchers are invited to submit proposals for the latest round, with up to $20,000 available per application to support quality, high-level research and collaboration. The fund seeks to initiate new tripartite partnerships and enable the further development of existing partnerships between a New Zealand university and two Chinese partner universities. 

    Eligible Tripartite Fund subjects can be drawn from the arts; humanities; social sciences; sciences and applied sciences; including agriculture; food safety; conservation; forestry; advanced materials engineering and environmental science.

    The fund was established in 2005 when the New Zealand and Chinese Ministries of Education agreed to formally support and promote tripartite relationships between Kiwi and Chinese institutions, in which a New Zealand university became the ‘third brother’ to an existing ‘two brothers’ agreement.

    This agreement was a first for the education relationship between New Zealand and China, and since then many other countries have followed New Zealand’s lead.

    To account for the impact of COVID-19 on mobility of research partners, the 2020/21 Tripartite Partnership Funding Round awarded five successful recipients of up to $20,000NZD in comparison to previous years where there were three recipients of $30,000NZD each. The selection panel will take into consideration the current context when deciding on the funding structure for the 2021/22 award round.

    “The Tripartite programme highlights our commitment to the strategic education partnership between China and New Zealand,” ENZ Director – Greater China, Miranda Herbert, says. “We are pleased to see university representatives innovating and adapting their research and communication methods to the virtual environment in order to maintain strong links with Chinese partner institutions and progress research projects despite the challenging environment.”

    The deadline for applications is 1 March 2021, with a project start date of 1 May 2021 through until 30 April 2022.
