• New campaign focuses on new paths

  The integrated global campaign aims to engage ENZ’s existing audiences across our database and social media channels, and to raise brand awareness with new audiences, particularly reaching those who are actively seeking out information about studying in New Zealand.

  Kaylee Butters, ENZ’s Director, Brand & Design, says New Futures Need New Paths builds on the messaging introduced in the 2018 Future Proof campaigns, while aligning with ENZ’s refreshed Think New brand strategy, which will be launched later this year.

  “Our overarching campaign message is that a New Zealand education provides students with the skills required to excel in their future careers and create a positive impact in their world,” said Kaylee.

  The campaign draws on New Zealand’s strengths in educating students for the Future.

  In both 2017 and 2018, New Zealand has been ranked among the top three countries in the world in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Educating for the Future Index.

  “Our teaching style and learning environment, alongside our unique cultural values, make us the perfect destination for students who think differently and wish to forge their own paths,” said Kaylee.

  The 2018 World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report highlights analytical thinking and innovation, active learning and learning strategies, creativity, originality and initiative as some of the top skills that will be in demand in the near future.

  To support the campaign, ENZ is creating three compelling hero videos that speak to the campaign theme, featuring three international PhD students with visions of a more sustainable future. Conducting research in the fields of marine biology, conservation and renewable energy, their paths have all brought them to New Zealand because of the unique opportunities they have here that will help them pursue their goals.

  “We encourage education providers to use the campaign assets and key campaign messages/themes in your marketing activity,” said Kaylee.

  Videos, images and infographics as well as tips on how to leverage this campaign will feature on The Brand Lab for New Zealand education providers and ENZ Recognised Agencies to use in marketing activity, including on websites, social media and at events.

• Vietnamese alumni promote New Zealand education

  Van Banh, ENZ’s Market Manager for Viet Nam, said this was the first alumni event co-hosted by ENZ and the New Zealand Embassy, and was a great chance to recognise alumni and explore how ENZ can work with them to promote New Zealand education in Viet Nam.

  “Many of them remain champions of New Zealand education offerings, and in Viet Nam, they are very high profile among prospective students. Vietnamese students here really look to speak to our alumni, so it is crucial that ENZ leverages the alumni network to profile New Zealand’s education.”

  “For this reason, we always invite our alumni to attend education fairs to answer enquiries about life and study in New Zealand. Their anecdotes and experience really make an impact on the minds and dreams of prospective students.

  “The alumni themselves see these kinds of events as an excellent opportunity to network and exchange ideas for building up a New Zealand-educated community in Viet Nam.”

  At the event, Wendy Matthews, New Zealand Ambassador to Viet Nam, spoke about the important role of alumni and the value of cultivating long-term global connections.

  Three alumni in attendance, Phong Ngo (Victoria University of Wellington), Van Nguyen (Otago University) and Thu Trang (Victoria University of Wellington) are giving back by setting up an association for New Zealand alumni in Viet Nam and helping prospective students keen on pursuing education in New Zealand.

  ENZ’s Viet Nam team will be running an Alumni Advocacy Campaign in October/November this year. It will feature Vietnamese alumni’s success stories and will also include ENZ-facilitated workshops and one-on-one consultation sessions for prospective students to learn from alumni.

  Approximately 2,500 Vietnamese students studied in New Zealand in 2017, the majority at university level.

• ENZ Regional Partners Workshop lands in Queenstown

  This was ENZ’s twelfth Regional Partners Workshop, coordinated under ENZ’s Regional Partnership Programme which aims to ensure that regions throughout New Zealand increasingly share the benefits of international education.

  Jo Keane, ENZ Business Development Manager, said the workshops are a chance to bring together regional representatives of international education to receive professional development training and learn the latest news and updates from ENZ.

  “ENZ is committed to the development of international education in the regions. We work closely with our Regional Partners across 15 regions to grow value, deliver an excellent student experience and create global citizenship opportunities – in line with the goals of the International Education Strategy.

  “Of course, our regional partners need to ensure their local communities see the benefits of international education too. For this reason, a key focus of the latest workshop was empowering our regional representatives to ‘Tell the Story’ of international education in their communities, with a session on news media and communication skills.”

  The group also heard presentations from representatives of Destination Queenstown, Queenstown Resort College and Queenstown Lakes District Council on the opportunities and challenges for the region across tourism, infrastructure and international education.

  Representatives from the Secondary International Education Business Association (SIEBA) also presented, focussing on partnership with the regions.

• Thailand education expo coming in October

  TIECA (Thai International Educational Consultants Association) is Thailand’s only peak body of education agents. It provides quality assurance of more than 70 agent members and ensures high counselling standards for Thai students seeking to study abroad. 

  The 34^th TIECA Study Abroad Expo will run in Bangkok in October, where education providers will meet prospective students and network with TIECA agents for future collaboration.

  Jaruwan Pongjaruwat, ENZ’s Programme Manager for Thailand, says the TIECA expo is the best agent-led event in Thailand, making it important to have New Zealand representation.

  “Having New Zealand institutions join this event shows New Zealand’s commitment to the Thai market. It’s also a good opportunity for institutions to expand their connections with TIECA agents and interact with students face-to-face – especially in Thailand where agents still play a major role,” says Jaruwan.

  “TIECA Expo also runs seminars on the latest insights on the Thai market, providing useful recommendations for institutions to increase enrolments.”

  The Expo’s primary focus is high schools, language schools, universities and exchange organisations from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, the United States and many other countries.

  The 2018 Expo had around 400 visitors; 60 percent were school students looking to study abroad, and 45 percent of this group would make a study travel decision within 1-2 years.

• US student Fox Meyer has received a $5,000 Think New Grant for his research.

  A Bachelor of Science student at the University of Otago, Fox’s research is looking at how South Dunedin's geology will change over time and respond to dramatic events such as earthquakes – in particular, how the harbour water flow will impact South Dunedin.

  “South Dunedin is built on reclaimed land, meaning the land had to be significantly modified by humans to accommodate our support infrastructure and housing,” said Fox. 

  “Instead of trying to deny ground water its natural course, I’ve set out to help explain how to balance living in South Dunedin while allowing that water to flow freely beneath our feet.”

  Fox’s research earned him a Think New Grant, administered by ENZ. The $5000 grant supports international students working on innovative research or study projects in New Zealand.

  Along with his supervisor, Dr Virginia Toy, Fox is planting water sensors in Otago Harbour in order to understand how water flows between the inner harbour and the porous sediments of South Dunedin.

  The pair currently have three sensors and will use the grant to purchase more, which will expand the scope of the project.

  ENZ’s Chief Executive, Grant McPherson, said Fox’s application was a stand-out entry in a very strong field.

  “We had 61 applications, and it was extremely difficult to choose the winner. There was an amazing range of very high-quality applications,” said Grant.

  “In order to create a better future for New Zealand, we need new approaches and solutions. Our education system, and Kiwi culture more generally, encourages creativity, innovation and critical thinking – and this brings some exceptional international students here to help us with this.”

  A total of 2,732 international students from the US studied at New Zealand universities in 2017, up nine percent on 2016.

• Consultation on NCEA offshore delivery

  The proposal would close a legislative loophole which allows private schools and tertiary education providers to award NCEA offshore.

  Exceptions would be made to allow the continued awarding of NCEA through Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu for domestic students based offshore, and where government relationships exist to support it (such as in the Cook Islands and Niue). Where tertiary education providers are awarding standards that lead to other qualifications as well as NCEA, they will continue to be able to award standards leading to those other qualifications. 

  As NCEA has been developed for a New Zealand context, it is not readily transferable internationally. Therefore, awarding NCEA for study done overseas would present difficulties in moderation and quality assurance, which could create risks to the quality and international credibility of NCEA qualifications.

  The Ministry would like to hear your views on this proposal.

  Click here to download the NCEA Consultation Document.

  To have your say, email your submission to legislation.consultation@education.govt.nz

  Consultation closes 14 June 2019.
