• Changes to ENZ in Vietnam

  Nga Phuong Tran, who has worked with many in the New Zealand international education industry over the last three years, is again working fulltime for New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE).   

  ENZ is in the final stages of appointing a new, fulltime Market Development Manager (MDM) in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Once appointed, the MDM will be responsible for all support and logistics around the education fairs usually provided by ENZ, other recruitment activities as well as helping New Zealand education providers expand their engagement with Vietnam. 

  Until the new MDM in HCMC is appointed, please direct all enquiries related to Vietnam to the ENZ Regional Director, Izak Human.

  When this latest appointment is made, ENZ will have fulltime representatives in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. All of these Southeast Asian regional representatives are able to provide information on:

  • education opportunities in their respective countries;

  • local regulations regarding provision of education services;

  • assistance with finding suitable partner institutions; and

  • how to connect with national education ministries and officials.

  ENZ representatives also maintain regular contact with a network of regional education agents and would welcome information on specific programmes or study options that you may want to promote in South East Asia.

  Nga’s farewell message is that over the last three years “I have had the privilege of working with over 90 New Zealand education providers from all over New Zealand. I have met with so many memorable and wonderful people from different institutions. Many of you have taken a proactive and innovative approach to promoting New Zealand education in the Vietnamese market – so keep it up!

  Thank you for your support and friendship.”

• America's Cup promotions

  Education New Zealand will be in San Francisco during the week of 29 August, along with Universities New Zealand and Le Cordon Bleu, to partner in a cocktail event to promote education in New Zealand. This event will be attended by university alumni, US education representatives and VIP business guests.

  New Zealand education will also be profiled at various points around San Francisco by placement on STQRY podiums. STQRY (pronounced STORY) gives visitors access to information about studying in New Zealand through an interactive resource which can be accessed at the podium or saved through scanning a QR code.

  The America’s Cup is being held in San Francisco from this month through to September.

• Code transfer to NZQA

  NZQA will now be processing applications for Code signatory status, and responding to queries about the Code and any complaints alleging provider non-compliance.

  School relationships with the Education Review Office in terms of monitoring the Code will remain unchanged, and arrangements for universities will also stay the same with Universities New Zealand continuing as the body responsible for quality assurance.

  Any complaints from international students against providers will continue to be considered by an independent body.

  All matters relating to administration of the Code should now be directed to NZQA. This includes applications, notification of changes, attestation returns, and any concerns around compliance.

  For more information, go to the NZQA website.

• NZ partners Global Skills Summit

  New Zealand is a country partner for the event which will provide a platform for discussion and information exchange, and help foster the government, industry and business relationships that underpin the India-New Zealand education relationship.

  New Zealand's education relationship with India has grown stronger over the past few years, particularly with the establishment of the India-New Zealand Education Council (INZEC) and with the reciprocal high-level delegations that have taken place.

  These visits have created channels for a dynamic two-way relationship between our countries, and exposed India to New Zealand’s expertise in vocational training and skills development, and allowed first-hand experience of our education facilities.

  There is a wealth of opportunities for New Zealand to collaborate with India and support the country with their ambitious skills development goals, especially in key areas such as agriculture and food processing, tourism and hospitality, media and entertainment, and healthcare.

  The Summit gives yet another opportunity for New Zealand to showcase our expertise in the technical and vocational education space, and forge new ties with India's education industry. Previous Summits have seen over 800 participants, 60 speakers, 10 countries and over 30 exhibitors.

  As a country partner, New Zealand will have a speaking slot where New Zealand will be sole country profiled, and the opportunity to jointly-host three workshop sessions around skills issues and topics. We will also have prominent visibility throughout the Summit, including an exhibit stall, and coverage in press and social media.

  So far, eleven representatives from six New Zealand institutions have registered to attend.

• Dragons documentary airs in China

  Guangzhou TV screened the series on their Young channel from Monday to Thursday, and they’ve also made it available on their digital cable service so it’s downloadable and viewable in Guangzhou via the internet TV channel Tang Guo Shi Guang. Guangzhou TV informed us they also plan to play it on their English channels and Comprehensive Channel (their core channel).

  Dragons in a Distant Land is documentary series about studying and living in New Zealand. The series tells the stories of six students currently studying in New Zealand and the experiences of their parents back in China. It also shares the stories of alumni working in both New Zealand and China. The documentary is available in both Mandarin and English and can be screened in two or four parts.

  Other channels are confirming their screening times – we don’t expect to hear of them in advance but we’ll inform you if we do. Please keep an eye on our website and International Education News for further updates.

• Global Skills Summit opens

  The summit provided the ideal platform from which to launch the Education New Zealand/KPMG knowledge paper: Opportunities in India: New Zealand Skills Partnership.

  “The opportunities for achieving real, tangible and enduring results are plenty, and the knowledge paper we launched at the Global Skills Summit provides direction as to how to get there,” says Ziena Jalil, Regional Director – South Asia for Education New Zealand.

  The skills partnership initiative endeavors to foster mutually beneficial ventures through government, industry and business relationships, and help India realise its national policy on skills development that aims to train 500 million people in by 2022.

  The knowledge paper highlights the numerous capabilities of New Zealand’s vocational training and skills development sector and the courses offered by various Institutes of Technologyand polytechnics in New Zealand as they relate to India’s skills requirements.The other photo shows the Indian Minister for Human Resource Development, Dr Pallam Raju, and Clive Jones reacquainting themselves, having met during Dr Raju’s visit to New Zealand in July.

• New Zealand education in the spotlight in India

  The three-day annual event, held from September 4–6, is the leading platform for discussion and dialogue on India’s skills challenges, and some 600 delegates participated, including more than 20 delegates from 12 New Zealand institutions.

  In addition to maximum brand exposure as the country partner, and several speaking opportunities for New Zealand industry leaders, ENZ participated in a wide range of activities and events to build awareness of New Zealand’s expertise in skills, including launching a knowledge paper entitled: “Opportunities in India-New Zealand Skills Partnership”, that was launched by Indian Minister for Human Resource Development Dr Pallam Raju, pictured below, who visited New Zealand in July.

  A roundtable meeting was also held for New Zealand delegates with Mrs Radha Chauhan (Joint Secretary – Ministry of Human Resource Development) and Mr RCM Reddy (Chairman – FICCI Skills Development Forum and CEO IL&FS Skills) – who jointly led the Indian skills delegation to New Zealand in April this year. Other members of the Indian delegation and significant partners joined the roundtable to do a stocktake of progress since the April visit and follow up on areas for further collaboration.

  Other events at the Summit included a business-to-business session that enabled nine New Zealand institutions to showcase their strengths to more than 70 potential Indian partners for business development opportunities. There was strong interest in what New Zealand had to offer and the institutions have decided to take a collaborative approach to exploring this further, with ENZ support in India.

  In the same week as the Summit, ENZ also hosted a successful series of New Zealand Education Fairs in Bangalore, Chennai, New Delhi and Chandigarh to promote New Zealand as a student destination. All fairs received good turnout from potential students, attracted participation from several New Zealand educational institutions and resulted in comprehensive media coverage.

  In Bangalore, the presence of former Black Cap Chris Cairns as an Auckland University of Technology (AUT) Brand Ambassador attracted a lot of attention!

  

  ENZ also invited NZ Inc partners such as Tourism New Zealand, Immigration New Zealand, New Zealand apple promoters, Zespri and ANZ Bank to participate in the events. Overall feedback from New Zealand institutions was positive with many specifically commenting on the higher quality of students who attended the fairs this year compared to previous years.

• Seven Flying Kiwis travel to Chile

  The ‘Flying Kiwis’ initiative was developed by Education New Zealand in response to the highly-successful ‘Penguins without Borders’ programme, which was piloted in New Zealand and saw 40 Chilean students come to Auckland to live and study for two terms in the first half of this year.

  The ‘Flying Kiwis’ are all students from Auckland schools that hosted the ‘Penguins’. While in Santiago they will attend school and live in homestays, with some staying with the families of former or current programme participants.

  The experience will give the ‘Flying Kiwis’ and their accompanying teacher an invaluable opportunity to immerse themselves in the Spanish language and the Chilean culture, and will enable them to see and experience the lives of the Chilean ‘Penguin’ school mates they have been studying and living alongside in New Zealand. The ‘Penguins’ have had a window in to the lives of Kiwi students, and now it’s the turn of the Kiwi students to gain some insights into their world.

  The ‘Flying Kiwis’ initiative represents another strand in the strengthening education relationship with Chile and also contributes to the establishment of enduring connections between Chilean and New Zealand young people.

  New Zealand school communities in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland are currently hosting the second cohort of 101 Chilean students in the ‘Penguins without Borders’ programme. 

   

• International education a $2.6 billion dollar industry
  Infometrics valued the economic contribution of international students to New Zealand at $2.5 billion and the sale and delivery of New Zealand’s education services and products offshore at $104 million. 
  Education New Zealand (ENZ) Chief Executive, Grant McPherson, says while the report presents a comprehensive picture of international education’s economic contribution, its immense social and cultural benefits shouldn’t be forgotten when considering value. 

   

  “As well as its economic benefits, international education strengthens New Zealand’s global connections. It helps tomorrow’s business partners, investors, politicians and leaders – both from New Zealand and overseas – to form enduring connections and build greater cultural understanding.”

• Building links with Colombian scholarship agency

  COLFUTURO is a public/private partnership agency tasked with assisting the brightest young Colombians to pursue postgraduate studies overseas.

  Each university showcased its distinctive strengths during the visit and have all expressed keen interest in working with COLFUTURO to receive top Colombian students.

  Jerónimo was impressed with the quality of our universities, and in particular, the attractiveness of New Zealand’s PhD programmes, which he identified as holding great potential for growth for New Zealand in the Colombian market.

  During the trip, Jerónimo stressed the importance of people-to-people connections in developing links with COLFUTURO – something he regarded as particular success of the visit.

  He also stressed that COLFUTURO is different from most scholarship programmes in that:

  • it carefully matches quality students with quality faculties

  • it supports study in all subject areas

  • an unlimited number of students can apply to any one institution

  Although COLFUTURO does not directly influence where students study, they do have an Academic Advisory Centre where students can research potential study destinations. It is here that institutions can provide targeted information to potential COLFUTURO students.

  COLFUTURO also has a service for self-funded students to look at English study abroad options.  Agreements with English language centres within a number of New Zealand universities are under discussion. 

  COLFUTURO operates a talent recruitment programme whereby it selects high-achieving students from top Colombian universities and supports them to become COLFUTURO scholarship recipients. It also helps them access funding from other sources. ENZ will talk with these students while attending the Latin American and Caribbean Higher Education Conference in Barranquilla, Colombia in mid-November this year.
