International students get behind Super Saturday vaccine drive
A group of students showed their concern and social responsibility by telling their stories to The New Zealand Herald ahead of the Super Saturday vaccination drive on 16 October 2021.
Education New Zealand Chief Executive Grant McPherson said it was great to see international students getting involved in the vaccination effort.
“New Zealand reaching its 90% vaccination target will aid in our recovery and bring us one step closer to welcoming more international students to Aotearoa,” he says.
“These are people who bring an array of benefits to community wellbeing, our global relationships, a productive workforce, a strong education system and enabling trade and diplomacy.”

Indigenous women leaders see international education as key to the future
They were speaking at a new webinar in the Kōrerorero: Conversations that Matter series – organised by Education New Zealand’s North America and Latin America teams in partnership with The Chronicle of Higher Education.
The webinar attracted almost 800 academics, international education professionals, government officials and businesspeople, with 275 joining live and the rest registered to view it later. The event drew on the Chronicle’s large subscription base to reach an audience of high-ranking academics in the Americas and attracted an all-star panel of indigenous women leaders in education and business.
Dr Alina Namuncura Rodenkirchen of Chile’s Universidad Católica de Temuco explained the challenges faced by Mapuche women, whose accessibility issues are amplified by rural living and lead to exclusion.
“Education is the key to face all these obstacles. International education can show opportunities, can give us a bigger picture, can empower us,” she said.
“At the same time, we can look back. When we are far away, we can cherish our people and feel what is missing, feel where we want to go back, to support and to collaborate.”
Indigenous entrepreneur and consultant Rachel Petero shared her experiences as a Māori wāhine connecting with the Mapuche.
“Think of entrepreneurship (as a way) to own your own self-determination, your sovereignty. We need to decolonise entrepreneurship and how we do that is (by) connecting,” she said.
“International education is even more important now than ever before because it gives us hope. … It takes us out of this global pandemic mindset that we are stuck in and gives us hope to develop ourselves and move forward.”
Carrie L. Billy, President and CEO of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, said indigenous people had a special perspective on international education.
“The cultural and societal responsibilities of women are the centre of our collective ability to maintain balance and harmony and wellbeing within the community. When that's out of balance, everything else follows,” she said.
Associate Professor Ella Henry, Senior Lecturer in International Business, Strategy and Entrepreneurship at Auckland University of Technology, said international education could help to turn the tide for disadvantaged communities.
“International education is very important, particularly for addressing some of the discrimination and disadvantage that indigenous communities and indigenous women face. Indigenous education is an important vehicle. What is also strengthened by that process is our indigenous identity,” she said.
Dr Henry, of Ngātikahu ki Whangaroa, Ngāti Kuri and Te Rārawa, addressed non-indigenous educators interested in supporting indigenous international education, asking them to “learn to walk with us, alongside us, as allies.”

Waikato and Cardiff Universities launch strategic partnership
The two institutions have launched a strategic partnership that will open up new opportunities, and a new seed fund will offer $240,000 a year to their researchers and professional services staff for collaborative projects.
Speaking at the launch of the partnership, Education New Zealand’s Chief Executive Officer Grant McPherson said university partnerships are key building blocks to international engagement and connecting New Zealand to the world.
“Sharing academic and research best practices while developing global citizens through the mobility of students and scholars is a proven method of delivering mutual benefits to all parties,” he said.
“It is great to see two forward-looking universities ... seeking out tomorrow’s leaders to offer them a new future.”
The initiative follows several years of successful cooperation between the universities in the areas of artificial intelligence, biochemistry and environmental law.
That collaboration now extends to a wide range of disciplines from climate change, engineering, agritech and data science to management, psychology, education and nursing.

Summer down under
With COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on international travel in force, many students are choosing to stay in New Zealand over summer rather than go home because in most cases, they will not be able to return for the start of the 2022 academic year.
ENZ’s Director of Student Experience and Global Citizens, Sahinde Pala, says it will be the second unexpected summer in New Zealand for many students.
“Those international students who are still here have shown amazing resilience. We know how hard it can be to be separated from loved ones at home for so long.
“But the early results from our research suggest they have remained remarkably positive about the overall New Zealand experience, despite the challenges.”
ENZ is supporting students again this summer with information and resources on health and wellbeing, exploring the country and building their work skills.
The Summer in New Zealand section of the NauMai NZ website for international students offers information, advice and links to expert resources. These include a webinar featuring careers expert Andrew Tui to give them practical tips on how to build their professional and personal skills.
“ENZ would like to acknowledge all the work the people in the international education sector are doing to support their students over the summer, and we invite you to share our resources with your networks.
“We wish everyone a summer in New Zealand that is safe and restful,” Ms Pala says.

Education sector delegation for Dubai Expo
The delegates from ENZ, the University of Otago, the University of Waikato, Victoria University of Wellington, Te Pūkenga - New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology and private sector education technology companies ByteEd and ARA Journeys will be in Dubai between 22 and 25 January 2022.
Expo 2020 Dubai is a global trade fair currently being hosted by Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. It was scheduled to get underway in 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson said the New Zealand Government’s recent announcement that it will relax border requirements for fully vaccinated New Zealanders and foreign nationals in stages next year was a clear signal of the country returning to more normal times.
“The prospect of more open borders in the coming year is a timely reminder of the opportunities that exist to build awareness of New Zealand’s unique education offering,” said Mr McPherson.
“The Expo is a great platform for New Zealand’s education sector to kick start this process at a global event.”
Mr McPherson said the involvement of two leading education technology companies was particularly pleasing as both were introducing leading-edge augmented reality (AR) products to the Expo audience.
ByteEd will be drawing on its web-based platform for teachers and students and introducing AR software to kits for STEM subjects – science, technology engineering and mathematics.
ARA Journeys will profile its award-winning games, which will stream into the New Zealand Pavilion from the company’s Auckland headquarters to offer the full interactive experience to visitors.
“Technology is a core building block for future education initiatives and a key element of the country’s international education strategy,” Mr McPherson said.
“The participation of ByteEd and ARA Journeys at this major international event is a reflection of the forward-looking strategies of both these companies.”
While in Dubai, the delegation aims to foster government and institutional connections and build relationships with agents and students.
The four-day programme, facilitated by ENZ, will centre on Expo 2020 Dubai’s International Day of Education on 24 January 2022. It will include a networking function, seminars and face-to-face meetings with key stakeholders hosted at the New Zealand Pavilion.
