• US students attend Kiwi youth leadership summit

  Hosted at the University of Canterbury and led by ENZ and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) students teamed up with the Student Volunteer Army to discuss student leadership and mobilisation.

  Over five days, they heard from prominent speakers from across New Zealand’s business, government, university and non-profit sectors. Students also conducted a tree-planting project, held panel discussions and visited Government House in Wellington at the invitation of Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy.

  In February, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) became the site of one of the deadliest school shootings US history. In the aftermath, MSD students mobilised to create a student-led ‘Never Again MSD’ organisation, and used their time in New Zealand to learn about the leadership of the Student Volunteer Army, which mobilised following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake.

  ENZ’s Director for the Americas and Europe, Lisa Futschek, said the summit was an exceptional opportunity to raise the profile of New Zealand’s education system in the US, and to demonstrate how it equips young people to become independent leaders, thinkers and global citizens.

  “The Summit was a great example of how international education can equip and inspire emerging global influencers and leaders.

  “It was great to see New Zealand featured in high profile publications including the New York Times, The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, along with major US television networks showcasing our country as a desirable international education destination, well placed to host aspiring student leaders.”

  US student numbers in New Zealand grew seven percent from 2016 (2,852) to 2017 (3,050) – the majority at university level.

• What’s new in IntelliLab

  ENZ’s Intelligence team has added new content to IntelliLab:

  • Visa dashboard for December 2017 (full year summary)
  • IVY – an interactive visa tool
  • Market factsheets (for China, India, Korea, Japan, Columbia, Vietnam)
  • International student Barometer survey results for university and ITP sectors
  • Updated country forecasts from The Economist Intelligence Unit

  IVY contains a wealth of visa information and will replace the 50-page monthly visa trends report (the last visa trends report was November 2017). The monthly visa summary dashboard will continue in its current form.

  IVY is updated monthly, so users will need to download a new copy each month to access the most up-to-date information. (Please note: IVY has a large file size, so some patience may be required while we explore ways to improve it.)

  Our interactive enrolments tool TED (The Enrolments Data) is being updated. You may notice revised student numbers when comparing student nationalities by New Zealand region – this is due to the large number of unfunded PTE and ELS students now being assigned to regions based on their provider. The top-line numbers, such as total number of students and students by country, remain unchanged.

  We appreciate any feedback you may have – please use the ‘contact us’ button on IntelliLab.

• NZLC wins fifth Study Travel Star Award

  For the fifth year running, New Zealand Language Centres (NZLC) Ltd has won the Study Travel (ST) Star Award for Star English Language School, Southern Hemisphere.

  The ST Star Awards recognise excellence in the international education industry. The ceremony was held in London earlier this month in front of some 1200 industry representatives from around the world.

  The fifth win marked the induction of NZLC into the ST Super Star Hall of Fame, an unprecedented achievement by a New Zealand based international education provider.

  Miles Stewart, NZLC Co-Director said the win shows that NZLC has the ability to compete and succeed on a global scale and sets benchmark standards for others to follow.  

  “Being recognised by our peers as a Super Star organisation demonstrates that NZLC represents a new way of providing industry-leading education and opportunities for our students and our partner businesses. This is something we continue to be extremely proud of.”

  NZLC beat out the four other nominees in its category: Greenwich English College Australia, Impact English College Australia, Langports English Language College Australia and Languages International New Zealand.

  NZLC is one of the largest English language schools in New Zealand, an NZQA Category 1 school and a member of English New Zealand.
