ICL Education Group wins at 2016 Export New Zealand awards
ICL won the award for Endace Services Exporter of the Year 2016. This award recognises excellence in building extraordinary and sustainable export growth, working in the areas of ICT, tourism, education and consultancy services.
“I would like to salute the dedication and focus of the 100 ICL staff who have achieved this award, and of whom we are immensely proud. We are particularly honoured that the judges have highlighted the ethics and professionalism of our Group, principles which we believe ultimately underwrite our success,” says Ewen Mackenzie-Bowie, Chairman of ICL Education Group.
The award is one of seven categories, which have been held annually since 2009 to inspire New Zealand exporters to expand their businesses and grow internationally.
ICL Education Group includes ICL Graduate Business School, Auckland English Academy, Bridge International College and New Horizon College.
The judges were impressed with ICL’s approach to marketing, with a broad spread of target markets, and the introduction of new courses to meet identified demand, particularly at a post-graduate level.
It was clearly evident that ICL is a strong contributor to New Zealand’s success in continuing to attract fee-paying international students. ICL’s research culture and policy of employing and retaining highly qualified staff was also seen as a positive factor.

Minister congratulates education community on 2015 results
Mr Joyce made the comments in his media release issued this week about the 2015 International Education Snapshot Report. New Zealand’s international education industry grew to 125,011 international student enrolments in 2015.This is an overall increase of 14,748 enrolments and every region experienced growth.
“New Zealand is increasingly being recognised for the excellent education and study experiences it delivers to both local and international students,” Mr Joyce said.
“The benefits of international education extend well beyond the economic contribution to the economy. Young New Zealanders live and learn alongside people from other countries, increasing their understanding of other cultures and boosting our links with the world. These links are vital for us to prosper in an increasingly Asia-Pacific world,” says Mr Joyce.
Tuition fee income received from international education reached $1 billion for the first time in 2015. Fee income reached $1.029 billion, a 17 per cent increase ($146 million) on 2014. Statistics New Zealand recorded the value of education exports as $3.1 Billion for the year to March 2016.
The fastest growing markets for New Zealand education in 2015 were India with a 45 per cent increase in international student enrolments (9,013), China up 13 per cent (3,881), and the Philippines up 83 per cent (1,648).
“While most of this growth has been good for New Zealand, it is important to ensure that all student recruitment in fast-growing markets like India is done within the rules and regulations that New Zealand sets. The new Code of Practice for Pastoral Care of International Students that came into force last Friday makes it clear that all New Zealand tertiary providers are responsible for the activities of their agents,” says Mr Joyce
Auckland continues to be the largest region for international student enrolments with 63 per cent of enrolments, similar to 2014. Canterbury has 8.4 per cent of enrolments (an increase in enrolments of 13 per cent to 10,547), and Wellington has 5.9 per cent (an increase of 9 per cent to 7,456) of international student enrolments.
Education providers also welcomed more students in Nelson/Tasman (21 per cent growth), Bay of Plenty (22 per cent), Southland (18 per cent), Waikato (7 per cent), Northland (6 per cent) and Hawke’s Bay (4 per cent).
“It is important that regional New Zealand shares fully in the growth of our international education sector and it’s great to see strong growth in many regions. Education New Zealand will continue to develop their new Regional Partnership Programme to promote the benefits of studying in each regions,” says Mr Joyce.

Customising website content
StudyinNewZealand.govt.nz is moving to SilverStripe, a flexible content management system that makes it easier to update information.
By early August, institutions will be able to provide market-specific content on the site. Content will be searchable by local language.
Users will also see a refreshed home page and powerful new content, including pages for student stories, quick facts and events for students.
By September, each institution will have access to its own administration area. Using the same login they have now, institutions will be able to upload and edit their own course information, or continue using the Hot Courses information.
Each institution’s administration area will also have its own dashboard. Dashboards will display key visitor behaviour, including the number of qualified referral leads, the countries they’re from, and which programmes they’re for.
The SilverStripe migration is a great opportunity for institutions to check and update the data on the site.

Putting New Zealand in agents’ hearts and on their maps
Education New Zealand (ENZ) recently organised a series of agent familiarisation tours.
Four groups were immersed in New Zealand’s learning, living and working opportunities for international students.
Agents from Brazil, Colombia, South Korea and Saudi Arabia were treated to tours of New Zealand’s special places – from regional centres to our bigger cities.
ENZ’s regional and international teams organised the programmes and toured with the agents over May and June. They were shown the full spectrum of the sector, and were also given updates and presentations from government agencies like Immigration New Zealand and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA.
“The agents enjoyed and appreciated the chance to learn about education in New Zealand, meet current international students and understand the distinctive offerings for students across all of New Zealand,” said Greg Scott, ENZ Regional Programme Manager.
The tour included interactive activities, including an emphasis on education pathways, applied learning and creative technologies, and special open-invitation networking opportunities, like the Networking Starts at Home event
The agents visited Taranaki, Nelson, Canterbury, Waiuku, Hamilton, Dunedin, Queenstown and Napier.

“As our regional centres become better known international education destinations, the agent familiarisation tours demonstrated how each regional centre has a unique story and value proposition that can appeal to different student interests,” says Greg Scott.
The potential benefit to increasing the profile of New Zealand education amongst all these markets is immense.
“The feedback from the participating agents was extremely positive and heartfelt,” says Sarah Gauthier, ENZ Regional Project Manager.
“We ensured the agents enjoyed themselves and their time in New Zealand. They enjoyed tourist activities, speaking to international students and their homestay families and gaining a deeper understanding overall of the value of a New Zealand education.”
“We are seeing lots of photos of New Zealand on the agents’ social media feeds and their agencies’ websites,” says Jo Keane, ENZ Regional Project Manager.
“We’d like to thank all the people, organisations and regional groups that supported these familiarisations,” says Sarah Gauthier.
“It was a true Team New Zealand effort. We appreciated the time everyone took to host us, meet the agents, organise tours and ensure that the students were available to speak to the agents in their own language.
“There’s nothing like hearing why New Zealand is such a great place to be a student than from real international students. By speaking about their study, lifestyle and work opportunities, the tours were really brought to life,” she says.

Chilean delegation visits New Zealand
A Chilean delegation visited the Waikato, Otago and Manukau Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) recently.
The delegation included officials from the Chilean government scholarship scheme ‘Tecnicos para Chile’ (Technicians for Chile) and was hosted by Education New Zealand. The purpose was to enable the Chileans to see first- hand the New Zealand ITPs who are receiving Chilean students under their government’s scheme, to meet staff and view the facilities.
The Tecnicos para Chile scholarship programme, was established in 2010 by the Chilean government with the aim of upskilling technicians and providing economic and social benefit back to Chile. The scholarship focus is different in each receiving country with the New Zealand programmes focusing on sports, shipping-logistics, agriculture and sustainability.
Three hundred scholarships are awarded annually for international study, for up to two years, including attending English language classes. Since 2011, up to 20 Chilean scholarship students have studied in New Zealand annually. Applicants apply for a vocational training course approved by the Chilean agencies, with the pre-requisite that they must have already completed a degree and have two years’ work experience.
The Chilean students currently study at Waikato Institute of Technology and Otago Polytechnic both of which have partnership agreements in place with the Chilean Ministry of Education. As a result of the visit, a new partnership agreement has been signed with the Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) which will receive Tecnicos para Chile students in the future. The delegation were very impressed with what they saw at all three ITPs during their trip. “Highlights included the quality of the technical training and the innovation in New Zealand’s teaching methodology,” said Carmen Luz Farias, Director, Tecnicos para Chile.
In future, these scholarships will be expanded to include a programme aimed at improving and enhancing the skills of Chilean teachers delivering the agriculture curriculum at secondary school level. This ‘Train the Trainer’ programme will be run by Otago Polytechnic.
“Otago Polytechnic has been grateful to have the Tecnicos para Chile delegation visit both our Dunedin and Cromwell campuses. The students who participate in the scholarship programme are of a high standard. We highly value this market and it is a great fit for Otago Polytechnic,” says Alex Huffadine, International Director, Otago Polytechnic. “We are looking forward to the increased number of programmes in the future with Tecnicos para Chile, and in particular ‘Train the Trainer.”
