Bringing Us Together – TVET in the Asia-Pacific
The Global COVID pandemic has put skills issues and innovation on the center stage, as governments, industries, and educators alike work to upskill and reskill workforces disrupted by the pandemic and ensure strong working futures.
The APAC TVET Forum will bring together the necessary key groups for effective TVET: Governments, Industries, and Educators. The Forum will offer Government to Government (G2G), Business to Business (B2B), and System-to-System content streams, then “bring us together” for a cross-system conversation across the APAC region.
The Forum will be free to register, and held over two Fridays (5 November and Friday 12 November, 2021) across the following local times:- Bangkok, Thailand 09.30-14.00
- Beijing, China 10.30-15.00
- AEDT 13.30-18.00
- Samoa 14.30-19.00
- New Zealand 15.30-19.30
We will hear from senior government officials, major companies, international agencies and organisations, and TVET sector leaders from around the APAC region.
The New Zealand partners include New Zealand government’s international education agency, its largest private sector vocational education consultancy, and New Zealand’s new national institution for Vocational Education and Training.
We look forward to welcoming colleagues from around the region for this high quality and not-to-be-missed event: stay tuned to our social media channels for call for abstracts, registration, and speaker information in the coming weeks, or visit our website: www.apactvetforum.com

STEM and higher education in Thailand
More than 600 visitors, along with our eight universities, Te Pūkenga and English New Zealand, attended ENZ’s online New Zealand Higher Education Showcase in early November. Instead of only showcasing institutions, we decided this year to have a Gradvocate live session as the main feature of the event.
Graduate students discussed their experience of higher education in New Zealand, and enabled Thai students and parents to see how successful our alumni are. Asia’s 2019 Breakout Musician and NZ alumni Phum Viphurit performed a mini-concert, and ENZ’s Lisa Futschek granted the 2021 Alumni Hall of Fame Award to three outstanding alumni: Dr. Chakrit Tiebtienrat, Mr. Narun Wiwattanakrai, and Ms. Wipapat Somumchan.
The increase in registrations and visitors for this year’s event demonstrates growing interest in New Zealand’s higher education. There were 620 unique visitors from 1,260 registrations, an increase of 59% in visitors and 3.6% in registration numbers since last year.
Later in November, the Thailand team successfully launched a NZ STEM Webinar series for teachers and students from Princess Chulabhorn Science High School (PCSHS) network, which comprises 12 schools for gifted students in four regions of Thailand.
The five webinars were offered in partnership with the University of Otago. Presentations on topics such as augmented reality gave gifted young students the opportunity to see some of the pathways into STEM tertiary education in New Zealand. Dr. Khunying Kalaya Sophonpanich, Deputy Minister of Education Thailand, also spoke at one of the webinars.

NZIEC coming soon – mark your diary now!
It will be free to attend.
The theme for NZIEC 2022 is Towards Recovery: Reflect, Reconnect, Renew.
Covid-19 has had a huge impact on the international education sector. In our first conference since 2019, we will look back at the past two years, and look forward to what we have to offer to the world.
NZIEC 2022 will focus on the sector’s recovery journey and, as the theme suggests, encourage us to: Reflect, Reconnect and Renew.
- Reflect – on what has been a crazy two years. An opportunity for us to share the tough stories, what we learned, how we pivoted, the good stuff we did.
- Reconnect – with each other and with the wider world. Be stimulated by international speakers in offshore markets and hear the latest in trends, shifts and dynamics.
- Renew – building back better for a stronger future. Gain inspiration and embrace innovation so we continue to ThinkNew.
By Reflecting, Reconnecting and Renewing, NZIEC 2022 will help our sector build Towards Recovery.
To ensure we reach the widest possible audience at a critical time for the rebuild of the industry, NZIEC 2022 will be delivered in a virtual format, at no cost to attendees. The virtual format also enables us to connect with a wide range of international speakers and deliver sessions for specific sub-sectors that attendees can opt in or out of. Sessions will be recorded and will be available to registered attendees who cannot attend the original time of the session.
Programme highlights
This year’s NZIEC programme takes a leaf out of the successful New Zealand Partners Workshop Week held in 2021, which connected over 3,000 attendees in sessions spread over the course of the week.
While further details on the programme will be released in July, you can expect the following:
- Conference opening on Monday morning
- Ministerial address
- International speakers
- Industry speakers
- Updates on global market trends and developments
- Market-focused sessions
- Virtual networking opportunities
- Government agency updates
- Conference closing on Friday.
Keep an eye out
Soon we’ll be launching our call for speakers. We’re keen to hear from practitioners right across the sector, so put your thinking cap on if you are interested in presenting – or suggest that a colleague does the same. Further details will be made available in the coming weeks, but if you have an idea for a session, please don’t hesitate to email us: NZIEC@enz.govt.nz
We are also developing a te reo Māori ingoa (Māori name) for NZIEC and look forward to sharing that with you soon.
Registration for NZIEC 2022 will open in July.
Format in future years
The decision to opt for a virtual format this year reflects feedback from our survey of previous and potential conference attendees to find out their levels of interest in attending NZIEC in person this year. While some were keen to gather in person, many more were hesitant to do so due to the cost of attending and concerns regarding Covid-19.
Subject to Covid-19 settings, we plan to resume in-person formats for NZIEC in future years.

OrbitProtect
At OrbitProtect, we provide travel insurance for international students so they can focus on enjoying their travel and education, knowing that if something goes wrong, they can access the support they need.
With affordable and easy-to-understand plans which include excess-free cover for medical care, property cover, multilingual customer support and more – our international student insurance is designed to meet the needs of students, ensuring that they receive the necessary assistance and support during their time in New Zealand.
We know that international students face a unique set of challenges and considerations, such as navigating a new healthcare system, dealing with medical emergencies or unexpected events, all while tackling language barriers and being away from their support networks.
That’s why we’re excited to sponsor the 30th NZIEC KI TUA – Visit stall #4 to take our interactive Health & Travel quiz to be in to win a $500 Prezzy Card. For more information on our products, go to orbitprotect.com.

Thank you to NZIEC KI TUA Partners
The conference was attended by 599 delegates and saw 42 sessions delivered over two days by 85 speakers, including expert panellists.
Thanks again to our NZIEC KI TUA 2023 Partners; our Country of Honour: People’s Republic of China, CSCSE, Streamliner, Student Safe, Flywire, idpconnect, IELTS, Southern Cross Travel Insurance, Kiwiflora Nurseries, Yoobee College of Creative Innovation, Orbit Protect, Host Families, Christchurch Foundation and the Tui Corridor Project, University of Canterbury, University of Canterbury International College, Lincoln University and The University of Auckland.
Being the first in-person conference since 2019, connection was more important than ever and our NZIEC KI TUA 2023 exhibition hall was renamed The Experience Garden where delegates could do just that – engage, connect, and experience.
Delegates who visited the team at the Country of Honour’s Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE) table, were able to have their name written in Chinese calligraphy and learn more about studying in China.
Locally made ice cream was provided by Southern Cross Travel Insurance, barista-made coffee from Student Safe and a special tea café was brought to delegates by idpconnect and IELTS.
Delegates also had the opportunity to experience a virtual reality journey with Yoobee College of Creative Innovation.
Thanks to the Kiwiflora Nurseries massage relaxation corner, delegates also got a chance to rest with a neck and shoulder massage and relax in their cosy and tranquil waiting area. Kiwiflora Nurseries partnered with NZIEC KI TUA and the Christchurch Foundation and the Tui Corridor Project to help us in our commitment to sustainability; for every delegate registration, a native tree was planted, fostering a greener future for generations to come.
The Host Families photography headshots activation was a hit with over 80 photos taken by the photographer.
The Orbit Protect Better Health Quiz provided delegates with a little downtime and a fun competition as they went head-to-head in earning points for prizes.
And last but not least, much appreciation goes to our partner Flywire as the Education New Zealand Manapou ki ta Ao Tamaki Makaurau Auckland office now has a new piece of artwork based on the theme of ‘How collaboration will shape the future of global education’ for their wall.
Thanks to all our 2023 partners in making this year’s conference a great one!

PM mission advances New Zealand and China education relationship
The New Zealand Education Connect event on 20 June at the New Zealand Embassy in Beijing brought together leading Chinese government representatives, institutional partners, education agents, and alumni to strengthen people-to-people links and celebrate collaboration.
The event programme was packed, with nine Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) signed between New Zealand and Chinese counterparts, and another MoU signed between Victoria University of Wellington and Fudan University on 19 June.
Providers from across the tertiary education sector signed the MoUs – with Victoria University of Wellington, Unitec, NMIT and UP Education’s University of Auckland International College and New Zealand Tertiary College formalising partnerships.
These agreements cover a mix of in-market delivery, joint programmes, and initiatives to grow student mobility between New Zealand and China.
This builds on the now over 60 approved joint education programmes and institutes recognised by the China Ministry of Education between New Zealand and Chinese institutions, and other education partnerships across early childhood education, vocational training, higher education, and research areas.
The New Zealand Education Connect event had senior leaders officially launching New Zealand’s Country of Honour campaign for the upcoming China Annual Conference and Expo for International Education (CACIE), China's largest platform for international education, due to take place in October this year.
ENZ’s Chief Executive, Amanda Malu, launches the Country of Honour campaign for New Zealand at CACIE alongside Prime Minister Luxon and CEAIE’s Secretary General Jun Yang.
ENZ Chief Executive, Amanda Malu, said it’s exciting to see advancement of the partnerships New Zealand providers have built with their Chinese counterparts.
“We’re eager to see the outcomes of the new agreements formalised at New Zealand Education Connect and look forward to deepening our bilateral ties by leading a delegation to CACIE later this year,” she said.
Information on the registration process for New Zealand education providers to join the New Zealand Country of Honour events in October will be shared next month on ENZ’s event page.
The Country of Honour promotional video is available with Chinese subtitles on The Brand Lab.
