Japanese schools look to New Zealand
Led by ENZ, the seminars provided an opportunity for schools from the Wellington and Whanganui regions to meet their Japanese counterparts and discuss how they could partner together.
ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager – Japan, Misa Kitaoka, said while initial expectations from New Zealand providers was that the demand would primarily be for short-term group visits, the Japanese schools showed enthusiasm for a variety of programmes including group visits and long-term students.
“As awareness of New Zealand education grows in Japan, so does the demand – as seen by the school market showing year-on-year growth,” said Misa.
"Japan is a market where school-to-school relationships deliver outcomes for both parties."

“These opportunities will only continue to grow as the Japanese government accelerates plans to promote internationalisation as we get closer to the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in 2020.”
Air New Zealand partnered with ENZ on the seminars, and will sponsor 10 Japanese schools to visit New Zealand to progress school relationships.
The seminars were also an opportunity for John van der Zwan, Executive Director of the Schools International Education Business Association (SIEBA), to provide an overview of its work and value to Japanese schools, especially if looking for a New Zealand school to receive groups through SIEBA’s placement service.
SIEBA also partnered with the Japan Association of Overseas Studies (JAOS), a peak body for Japanese agents, to answer questions from Japanese agents, and to present on what the new Code of Pastoral Care means for them.
The agents welcomed standardised templates produced by SIEBA, including enrolment forms and agent contracts, which agents said will make their business more efficient.
English language-only providers to submit enrolment data
In 2015, the Government introduced a new mandatory electronic data collection system for UIPs. Those providing only English language courses were temporarily exempt from this data collection requirement, as they often provide informal language courses, some of which are very short.
The temporary exemption gave government agencies and the English-language sector time to discuss an appropriate data set for these unfunded providers.
Last year, following independently facilitated workshops held between English New Zealand, English-language providers and government agencies, it was proposed that English-language providers would submit a shorter set of data that reflected the nature of most of their provision.

The scholarship is open to all qualifying international students, in celebration of ENZ reaching one million followers across all of its Study in New Zealand (SiNZ) social media platforms.
Students have until 5pm 20 July 2017 to enter. All they have to do is visit the SiNZ Facebook page and post a comment on the scholarship post saying what, where and why they want to study in New Zealand.
Entries in all languages are accepted, so if a student feels more confident submitting an entry in local language, please encourage them to do so.
Olivia Silverwood, ENZ’s International Social Communities Manager, is pleased that the majority of entries are of very high quality.
“The students tend to be most interested in postgraduate and Masters-level study, with good representation across all of our markets.
“It’s been great to see that students are focussing less on the touristy side of New Zealand and more on its education rankings – this shows our organisation’s collective marketing and PR efforts are working!”
Here are some of the entries so far:

US series studies Massey education
Four half-hour TV segments and YouTube clips profile Massey’s education and research expertise in food safety, New Zealand society, aviation and veterinary medicine.
Filming took place at the Manawatu campus in early July, and will be broadcast on America’s East Coast in August.
US host, educational consultant and author Steven Roy Goodman has visited countries all around the world, portraying different aspects of the university sector. However, this is his first time filming in the Southern Hemisphere. The series has screened 123 episodes to date.
“It’s an educational show where I aim to bring the ideas and news of universities around the world to the general public in the best way I can,” said Steven.

Steven singled out the veterinary medicine discussion as one that would be of particular interest to students from the United States because of the Massey Veterinary School’s American Veterinary and Medical Association (AVMA) accreditation.
Steven was also fascinated by the discussion on New Zealand society and Massey’s new BA degree with the head of the School of Māori Art, Knowledge and Education (Te Pūtahi-a-Toi) Professor Meihana Durie, and Pro Vice-Chancellor of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley.

“For me the discussion on New Zealand society was particularly eye-opening and not at all what I originally envisioned – I don’t think people in the US know a great deal about New Zealand society, but I think they will be introduced to it now,” said Steven.
Project leader and International Development Manager for Massey, Bruce Graham, says the project will help promote Massey’s research, Study Abroad opportunities and specialist degree programmes in the US.
“This will also add to the growing reputation of New Zealand’s wider university sector, and the capability and expertise of these institutions.”
The TV episodes can be found on YouTube, and will also be included in Massey’s webpages and social media sites. You can view them below:

New Zealand teaching showcased in Thailand
The teachers came from 60 provinces across Thailand to attend the four-day event, along with Chortip Pramoolpol, ENZ Marketing and Strategic Relations Manager – Thailand, and Karen Rutherford, Head of School of AUT International House.
The event provided teachers with new guidelines and teaching techniques to ensure their students get the most from their classes.
AUT conducted a training session showcasing the New Zealand teaching style, which Chortip said received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Karen Rutherford speaks with Thai teachers.

“Teachers commented on how practical and hands-on it was."
"It helped tighten the education collaboration between New Zealand and Thailand and provided a great platform to raise awareness of us to the teachers and participating government agencies.”
AUT will also select and sponsor one teacher to receive one month of complimentary English language training.
The event was organised by Brand Suntory (Thailand) Co., Ltd in partnership with the Office of Basic Education Commission, Ministry of Education and Kasetsart University.
The Brand’s Tutor Summer Camp ran from 29 June to 1 August 2017.
Chinese students gather for Youth summit
The summit was arranged by Global Engagement Institute and hosted at the University of Auckland Business School. The three-day summit was followed by a week of special topic days on leadership.
Fifteen New Zealand students from Auckland, Tauranga and Christchurch joined the 34 Chinese students to learn about leadership opportunities in a global context, based on cultural understanding, respect, trust and diplomacy.
Representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Asia New Zealand Foundation, the University of Auckland and Fonterra, amongst others, gave presentations providing insights and advice to guide the students in the future. Students also participated in a speech competition, with the top three Chinese students winning scholarships to study English at Languages International in Auckland.
Greg Scott, ENZ General Manager, Industry Development said the summit was a great initiative to support future leaders from both New Zealand and China.
“It provided a valuable platform for students from China and New Zealand to share their perspectives and culture.
“From day one, these young people demonstrated what is required to be future global citizens.”
The students were joined by Lin Lin Zhai, a representative from the Qingdao Education Bureau, who announced that the 2018 summit would be held in Qingdao, providing Kiwi students the opportunity to travel to China.
The summit is then expected to return to New Zealand in 2019.
ENZ was the premier sponsor of the event, alongside additional sponsors including the Asia New Zealand Foundation and New Zealand China Council.
Meet Up at NZIEC
Meet Up sessions are informal opportunities to connect with delegates during the networking breaks on particular issues or topics.
How do they work? Simply suggest a topic or topics you’d like to discuss. We’ll collate the responses and coordinate the Meet Up topics and times. It will be over to you to strike up the connections and the conversations.
If you have a burning topic you’d like to talk to others about, let us know. Perhaps it’s homestay management, using technology in back of house operations or you’re in a sole charge position and want to connect with colleagues in a similar situation.

Whatever the topic, just let us know and we’ll do our best to include it.
We’ll publish a list of Meet Up sessions through the Conference App when it is launched next week.
Email your Meet Up topic suggestions to nziec@verve.co.nz

Five steps to studying in New Zealand
Lucia Alarcon, ENZ International Digital Project Manager, says the tool was developed to better support prospective international students, who often find it hard to know where to begin.
“Choosing to study abroad is a big decision, so we want to make it easier for students to start the process by breaking the study abroad journey into five easy steps.
“Research tells us that breaking down a decision into steps makes people more likely to start the process. User testing has shown our 5 Steps guide is a compelling way to encourage students to get started on their New Zealand study adventure.”
Using appealing graphics and simple language, the five steps cover study options, budgeting, applying for a course, applying for a visa and departure.
Each step guides students to relevant content on the SiNZ website, leading them to a wider range of pages. It also directs students to content added to SiNZ in recent months, such as the Cost of Living and Explore NZ pages.
ENZ event activities for 2018
There are two key student recruitment seasons. Depending on the market, these are March/April and September/October.
Confirmed events and dates will be published on the ENZ event calendar on 31 October. Event registration will open shortly after for events taking place during the first six months of 2018.
