  • From the Chief Executive: Importance of international students to New Zealand

    Just before Christmas, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao filed its submission to the Productivity Commission Inquiry into immigration policy settings.  

    ENZ has taken a strong stand in the detailed 15-page submission, refuting some statements made about international students in the Commission’s preliminary report, and pointing out that international students are different to other temporary migrants included in the inquiry.  

    In the submission we say international students should not be characterised as coming to New Zealand to seek employment, invest or run a business. Rather, international students coming to New Zealand support the achievement of the Government’s broader goals and objectives, as well as contributing to NZ’s economic development. More than two thirds of international students fund their studies through their families and their own savings and most international tertiary students have left New Zealand within five years of completing their studies. 

    The submission also discusses the broad benefits international students deliver for New Zealand, including regional development, research output, and strengthened bilateral relationships with other countries. 

    The Productivity Commission aims to present its final report to the Government in April 2022. 

    In other recent news, our international teams have recently completed several partnership agreements that will continue to sustain international education while our borders are closed. These include a research exchange agreement with DAAD (a major German academic exchange organisation), a science research agreement with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, and digital classroom cultural exchanges with South Korea. We also highlight the growing success of the NZ Global Competence Certificate during 2021.  These items are covered in more detail in this issue of E-News.

  • Student visa processing update

    In INZ’s future footprint, all student visa processing will be done in Beijing, Mumbai, and Palmerston North offices.  

    “We are confident that consolidating visa processing into a few key sites, and other changes to make technology and processes simpler, will deliver improved operational performance,” said Celia, who is INZ’s Sector Relationship Manager (Education). 

    “They will make visa decision-making more accurate, consistent and timely and deliver an improved customer experience.”  

    "So far this year, INZ offices in Hong Kong, Dubai, Pretoria, and Ho Chi Minh City have transitioned student visa processing to the Beijing and Mumbai INZ offices.  

    INZ’s management of the changes includes a process for the transfer of local market knowledge, which provides the context of different markets and includes training for staff in the receiving site. 

    “We will continue to refine and validate this information based on insights gathered as part of the offices’ on-going operational performance measurement.”
