New Zealand to be Country of Honour at the China Annual Conference and Expo for International Education (CACIE) 2025
ENZ Chief Executive Amanda Malu was recently in Beijing attending the China Annual Conference and Expo for International Education (CACIE). There, as part of the announcement, Amanda gave a keynote speech at the CACIE Night gala dinner and highlighted the broad and important education links between New Zealand and China. New Zealand was previously Country of Honour at CACIE in 2015.

CACIE is the largest annual international education event for businesses and students in China. Over 20,000 visitors attended the expo, with an estimated 5,000 people in the audience at the opening plenary.

There are ample opportunities to showcase New Zealand at 2025 CACIE and leverage our COH status to raise awareness of New Zealand through a strong in-person presence, New Zealand-focused events, cultural performances and media engagements.

The ENZ team will work through peak bodies on feedback and input from the sector on the New Zealand presence and events at CACIE.

In the meantime, keep an eye on the CACIE website where the 2025 dates and conference theme will be announced soon, or reach out to your ENZ Business Development Manager if you have any questions or ideas to share.

Highlights from New Zealand’s presence at this year’s conference

Amanda met with LIU Limen, President of the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE). The association is the host and organiser of the conference.

ENZ partnered with Tourism New Zealand to deliver the New Zealand Study Tours: Engaging in Quality Education and Success Pathways roundtable session which was opened with remarks by H.E. Grahame Morton, New Zealand Ambassador to People’s Republic of China. It was well attended; it became standing room only in the seminar room.

The New Zealand pavilion comprised of twelve New Zealand institutions. All eight universities, Te Pūkenga New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, ACG schools, Pacific International Hotel Management School, and New Zealand Tertiary College joined ENZ on the pavilion.

ENZ calls for funding proposals for New Zealand-China research partnerships

The New Zealand-China Tripartite Partnership Fund 2025 offers funding of up to NZD 20,000-30,000 including GST for each partnership project, with the call for proposals open until 2 March 2025.

Funding proposals are due by 2 March 2025. Download the New Zealand-China Tripartite Partnership Fund 2025 Guidance and Call for Proposals and the Proposal Form. Send your completed proposal as a PDF, and any questions, to china@enz.govt.nz.

The fund supports new or existing research partnerships between New Zealand and Chinese universities. There are usually three universities involved – two from China and one from New Zealand.

The Tripartite Partnership Fund, administered by ENZ, has a pool of up to NZD 100,000 in 2025 for research partnerships in the arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences and applied sciences. Designed to encourage strategic academic relationships, the fund focuses on fostering relationships and the development of the partnership rather than funding the research itself.

The Tripartite Partnership Fund is a key piece of education cooperation between New Zealand and China. Projects under the fund have enjoyed a high level of visibility and attention in both New Zealand and China.

Established in 2005, the Tripartite Research Partnership is a valued part of the New Zealand – China bilateral education relationship and we welcome proposals from researchers to join the growing list of funding recipients.

Country insights at your fingertips

Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ’s) just launched New Zealand International Education – Country Key Information Dashboard provides a rich resource of insights for sector representatives, education agents and consultants looking for key data about international education in New Zealand in relation to a specific country.

Each country snapshot features insights such as international student enrolment data, including broad field and level of study that students are enrolled in, international student visa data, student experience survey findings, as well as overall goods and services exports between that country and New Zealand.

This beta version of the dashboard is drawn from a range of sources, including valuation data from Statistics New Zealand, visa data from Immigration New Zealand, enrolment data from the Ministry of Education, and ENZ’s international student experience data.

ENZ’s Director Insights, Marie Clark, said that the release of the country dashboard is part of ENZ’s concerted effort to provide the sector with a wider range of useable and accessible intelligence to guide their marketing and promotional efforts.

“For providers visiting a potential market or education agents looking to grow student numbers in New Zealand, the dashboard offers an instant snapshot of all the key sources of information for that country and New Zealand. 

“This is a beta version, and as we receive the sector’s feedback, we intend to add more information to it over time,” Marie said.

You can view the beta dashboard on ENZ’s Tableau Public site here.

From the CE: International education in the spotlight

Kia ora koutou,

I’ve recently returned to New Zealand following a productive visit to Viet Nam with the Prime Minister’s Trade Mission. It was highly encouraging to see international education front and centre of so many conversations. Beyond attracting Vietnamese students to New Zealand, the education relationship between our countries is evolving into deeper collaborations involving education institutions, businesses, and governments.

The visit also showcased outstanding examples of educational partnerships across the spectrum of New Zealand’s international education sector, from universities and private training establishments to EdTech companies, highlighting the breadth of collaboration opportunities.

Overall, the Mission was a valuable opportunity to raise awareness of New Zealand as a top-tier education destination offering a safe and welcoming environment.

International education was also a component of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rt Hon Winston Peters’ official visit to China. As part of his programme, the Minister had a warm meeting with Chinese alumni of New Zealand universities. From the report back, it was clear that the New Zealand study experience had left the alumni with a lasting, positive impression.

Coming up in May, ENZ will be going into the field for the 2025 International Student Experience Survey. This survey covers a range of topics relevant to the sector, including student decision-making, arrival and orientation, the education experience, living experience, people and connections, and perceptions of value for money.

Last year’s survey had 86 percent of international students reporting a positive overall experience of their time in New Zealand, and 41 percent of students giving an ‘excellent’ rating, the highest percentage yet! In case you missed deep diving into specific aspects of the student experience, you can browse through them here.

I’ve started packing my bags again, as this weekend I will be joining the Prime Minister’s Trade Mission to India. I’ll be staying on for a further week in Delhi for APAIE 2025. I look forward to updating you in my next column.

Ngā mihi nui,

From the CE: Boosting global connections in education

Kia ora koutou,

In March, I spent an incredible couple of weeks in New Delhi and Mumbai as part of the Prime Minister’s Trade Mission to India, and for the 2025 Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) conference.

During the trade mission, I was pleased to witness, together with Prime Ministers Christopher Luxon and Narendra Modi, the signing of a refreshed bilateral Education Cooperation Arrangement (ECA) between New Zealand and India. Education is a key feature in the New Zealand-India bilateral relationship, with India the second largest source market of international students for New Zealand.

The trade mission also served as a valuable opportunity to grow our connections with the Indian Institute of Technology New Delhi (IIT Delhi) through the New Zealand Centre, which is at the heart of our education partnerships in India.

IIT Delhi is backed by all eight New Zealand universities and is a hub for joint research and advancing India’s Digital India vision in AI, data science and advanced engineering. Prime Minister Luxon spoke at the education event which saw the announcement of several education initiatives, including a scholarship package and virtual internship programme, aimed at deepening bilateral collaboration.

There is no doubt that New Zealand has made a splash in India, and we look forward to continuing the momentum.

Last week, the Government announced its Quarter 2 Action Plan for New Zealand with 38 actions focused on economic growth. Boosting international education and export education earnings is a key action under the plan. ENZ is currently leading cross-agency work to develop an International Education Growth Plan for the Prime Minister and Ministers, and will be undertaking a series of sector engagements in the coming weeks.

It is an exciting time, and I look forward to sharing more about this work in my next column.

Immigration New Zealand update

India delegation

Alison McDonald, Head of Immigration, joined ENZ Chief Executive Amanda Malu as part of the Prime Minister’s official delegation to India. Celia Coombes, Director Visa at Immigration New Zealand, responsible for the student visa product, joined Amanda and Ben Burrowes in India afterwards where they supported the New Zealand delegation at the Asia Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) and met with the New Zealand Education Representatives in India (NZERI), a group of Indian education agents.

“Immigration New Zealand found the trip very valuable and insightful,” says Celia.

“Now we are working on how we can continue to support the growth of the education sector, particularly in India which is such an important market for New Zealand, and what needs to be done to support more applications being approved.”

New local points of contact in India and China

Immigration New Zealand has new Engagement Advisors appointed in New Delhi and Beijing. They will be a local point of contact and working to improve communication within both the education and tourism industry.

Visa processing

INZ is in a strong position for processing student visas, following initiatives put in place to make our processing more efficient. At the end of March 2025, international student visas were being decided in 10 days (two weeks) on average.

On average Te Pūkenga (New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology) applications are being processed within 2.5 weeks, 2 weeks for University applications, 3 weeks for Private Training Establishment applications and 1.5 weeks for school applications.

INZ have already decided more than 20,500 student visa applications so far this year, and approved around 18,000 student visa applications (from 1 Jan – 31 March 2025).

To help with faster visa processing, it is key that all the information and documents needed to decide the application is provided. All the details can be found on our information sheet for students on the INZ website: Student visa information | Immigration New Zealand.
New Zealand tertiary institutions make strong connections in Indonesia
A series of education promotion engagements in Indonesia kicked off with a co-funded activity alongside local education agency ICAN Education that ran from 13 to 18 February.

The schedule was packed with student outreach, school visits and a New Zealand Application Day in both Jakarta and Surabaya.

All eight New Zealand universities, the Southern Institute of Technology, UC International College, Waikato College, UP Education and Le Cordon Bleu were involved in the roadshow.

Jakarta

The team began with visits to two international schools in the Greater Jakarta Area — BINUS School Serpong and Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School. These sessions gave students a chance to learn about New Zealand’s tertiary education system.

On 15 February, the New Zealand Application Day in Jakarta drew a crowd of around 435 students and parents. The event created a space for prospective students to speak with universities about undergraduate study options, application processes and life in New Zealand.

Crowds gathered around university booths, eager to learn more and take their first steps towards studying abroad.

Surabaya

In Surabaya, the New Zealand Application Day took place on 16 February, the event attracted 183 attendees.

The next day, institutions visited students at Cita Hati West and Cita Hati East schools. Engagement focused on introducing year 10 to 12 students to the New Zealand education system, helping them visualise study pathways and what student life in New Zealand looks like.

Connecting with education agents across Indonesia

Alongside student-focused activities, ENZ organised a series of agent networking events across Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Denpasar. These sessions formed part of the Study with New Zealand roadshow, which ran from 21 to 28 February and created space for deeper engagement between New Zealand providers and Indonesian education agents.

Each event aimed to strengthen relationships, share updates, highlight New Zealand’s unique offerings, and help raise visibility for New Zealand education among prospective students.

A range of education providers participated in the networking event, including University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology, Lincoln University, Massey University, University of Otago, University of Waikato, Victoria University of Wellington, and UP Education.

Education agents play a matching game with New Zealand tertiary providers and the regions where they are based at a networking dinner in Jakarta.

ENZ Market Manager for Indonesia, Naluri Bella, presented the latest market promotional resources available to agents, followed by interactive quiz games hosted by New Zealand providers. These sessions were attended by around 30 agencies and gave agents the tools and confidence to market New Zealand as a study destination.

Naluri said that there is an appetite in the region for high-quality international education experiences.

“New Zealand is increasingly seen as a destination that offers both academic excellence and a welcoming, supportive environment,” she said.

“Our institutions were able to showcase not only their study options, but the unique values and lifestyle that set New Zealand apart,” Naluri added.
Positive outcomes for education from PM’s trade mission to India
Prime Minister Rt Hon Christopher Luxon led a high-level visit to India from 16–20 March, accompanied by one of the largest New Zealand delegations to date. The delegation included representatives from the business, community, media, and government sectors, along with a cultural delegation, Te Kapa Haka o Te Whānau-a-Apanui.

Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) Chief Executive Amanda Malu joined the trade mission as part of the education component of the delegation – alongside University of Auckland Vice Chancellor, Dawn Freshwater; Vice Chancellor, University of Waikato, Neil Quigley; Te Pūkenga/NZIST Chief Executive, Gus Gilmore and Whitecliffe College Executive Chairman, Feroz Ali.

The mission saw a number of key education initiatives announced that aim to strengthen New Zealand’s education ties with India, including the signing of the refreshed bilateral Education Cooperation Arrangement (ECA).

These initiatives mark a significant step forward in deepening New Zealand’s collaboration with India around joint research, student exchanges, academic innovation and fostering long-term institutional partnerships.

The original ECA was signed in 2010 with the objective of strengthening bilateral cooperation between New Zealand and India and fostering collaboration and the exchange of information on individual education systems.

The ECA refresh builds on this foundation and aims to foster further cooperation in education specifically through information exchange, collaboration between institutions, and sharing best practices in curriculum development, digital transformation, and sustainability.

A key education engagement during the mission was the ‘Shared Visions and Connected Futures’ event on 18 March, co-hosted by ENZ and New Zealand Centre partner IIT Delhi. Key education and government stakeholders were brought together to celebrate education, innovation, and the strong ties between New Zealand and India.

Six new memoranda of understanding (MOU) were signed on the day, with an additional four signed across other events and cities. The New Zealand Excellence Awards (NZEA) scholarships were officially launched by Prime Minister Luxon and ENZ Chief Executive Amanda Malu - this is a joint initiative between ENZ and all eight New Zealand universities offering a total of 29 scholarships valued at NZ $260,000.

An exclusive virtual internship programme was also launched – this initiative will provide opportunities for 30 IITD students to intern virtually with New Zealand organisations. The event also witnessed the announcement of the inaugural New Zealand Centre Innovation Fellowship which aims to enhance collaboration between New Zealand and India in innovation and entrepreneurship by providing a two-week immersive experience in India's innovation ecosystem.

To round off a packed programme, the Prime Minister hosted a "Fireside Chat” with celebrity alumni from University of Auckland and the University of Waikato, where they showcased their experiences studying and living in New Zealand.

ENZ Chief Executive Amanda Malu said the event was a testament to the strength of New Zealand’s educational relationship with India.

“India and New Zealand share a longstanding education relationship. Our collaborations bring enduring benefits to both nations. We look forward to continuing to work together to innovate, grow our skills and co-create education solutions for our future,” she said.

Game On English changing the lives of Japanese rugby students
The ‘Game On English’ edu-sports programme for Japanese rugby students in New Zealand is gaining in popularity, says Kim Renner, Operations Manager of English New Zealand, the English language sector peak body.
“We’re very pleased with the programme’s early success,” says Kim.
Game On English provides Japanese rugby teams with a unique learning experience in New Zealand. Students receive daily English language classes and high-performance rugby training, and live with homestay families where they experience Kiwi life and culture and are immersed in an English-language speaking environment.“The programme isn’t just about playing sport,” says Kim. “It provides a life-changing experience for young people that builds self-confidence and leadership through teamwork.”
Kim says Japanese students are attracted to the programme because of the world champion All Blacks, and New Zealand’s commitment to developing skilled young Kiwi rugby players.
“New Zealand’s national high school and university competitions foster the growth of world-class rugby players as well as developing talented coaches. There is a fine tradition of students who have become great All Blacks.”
Game on English was developed in July 2014 by ENZ and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. It was created in response to the Japanese Government’s goal of improving the English language skills, and increasing the sporting capacity, of Japan’s young people in the lead up to its hosting of the 2019 Rugby World Cup and 2020 Olympics.
The programme now includes five New Zealand Rugby Union academies and selected English language providers in Auckland, Hamilton, Mount Maunganui, Christchurch and Dunedin.
Kim says Japanese public interest in rugby is growing thanks to the Brave Blossoms’ victory over the South Africans at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
