• Reconnecting at ICEF ANZA 2022

  Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao attended the conference, alongside Immigration New Zealand and Kiwi education providers.
  
  This was the largest ICEF ANZA event in its 15-year history. Among the conference's close to 500 in-person participants were 183 education agents representing 61 countries. The top five countries represented at the conference were Colombia, India, Viet Nam, Nepal, and Brazil.

  Agents at the event demonstrated a particular interest in New Zealand and Australia, and they were keen to reconnect with New Zealand education providers and promote New Zealand to prospective students.

  Ms Kerr is also Board Director for The Icehouse and sits on the Board of Epsom Girls Grammar. Previous roles include General Manager for Pearson PLC London, and Asia-Pacific Marketing Manager for Apple. She has been a TEDx speaker and has published a number one bestseller on Amazon - ‘Corporate Crossovers’. Ms Kerr has a Ngāti Mutunga and Moriori heritage and will be based in our Auckland office.  

  The Sector Engagement group delivers strategic initiatives in partnership with sector partners and stakeholders, undertakes business development, and designs and delivers new products and services.

  GM Sector Services

  Sahinde Pala was recently appointed to the newly-created role of General Manager, Sector Services.

  Ms Pala joined ENZ in 2016 after 18 years working for a multinational group of English language schools. With a career dedicated to international education, she brought extensive private sector experience in international marketing, stakeholder engagement and student experience delivery to the organisation.

This includes student experience, global citizenship, global events, and agent engagement, as well as scholarships to support domestic students to have an international education experience, and international students to study in New Zealand.

• NZ-based education agents engage with sector

  “This proved to be a really useful opportunity for sector representatives to reconnect with New Zealand-based education agents,” says Geneviève Rousseau Cung, Partnerships Manager at Education New Zealand Manpou ki te Ao (ENZ). 

  Agents heard presentations from Immigration New Zealand and Te Pūkenga during the fair. ENZ spoke about the I AM NEW brand campaign which was launched at NAFSA at the end of May 2022.

  Ms Rousseau Cung says this is the second year that ENZ has organised an event like this for locally based agents.

  “It’s crucial to keep engaging with ENZ Recognised Agents, given their important role in promoting a New Zealand education and connecting prospective students and their families with education providers,” Ms Rousseau Cung says.

  “New Zealand-based agents in particular were adversely affected by the border closure, and so it’s great to support their work as we reconnect with the world.”

  Attendees rated the event as being highly valuable as an opportunity to get up to date information and re-engage face-to-face.

  “We particularly appreciated the networking opportunity and understanding how ENZ is marketing New Zealand to the world,” one agent commented.

  New ingoa Māori  

  This year, to celebrate its 29th birthday, NZIEC was gifted a new ingoa Māori (te reo Māori name): NZIEC KI TUA. The name was inspired by the following whakataukī:  

   

  He rā ki tua.  

  Look positively toward the future,  Better times are coming.  

   

  Ki Tua is not about returning to the ‘status quo’. It’s about reconnecting to the world, finding a fresh perspective, and taking a new approach.

  “The adoption of NZIEC KI TUA reflects our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Maihi Karauna, the Crown’s Strategy for Māori Language Revitalisation,” Mr McPherson says.

  “NZIEC’s new name also reflects Aotearoa New Zealand’s distinct cultural identity and the importance of continuing to develop our sector’s annual conference.” 

  Sessions are still available  

  Registered delegates can watch or re-watch conference sessions from the event portal until Friday 16 September. 

  Conference highlights 

  Recognising the challenge facing the international education sector, the conference explored the theme of Towards Recovery: Reflect, Reconnect and Renew. 

  The programme started by reflecting on the sector’s pandemic experience, including moving reflections from international students and international education practitioners. Delegates explored student experience through the pandemic.

  The programme then shifted to reconnecting with the world. Delegates heard from Minister of Education, Hon Chris Hipkins, and New Zealand’s leading trade negotiator, Vangelis Vitalis. 

  Mid-week we turned our attention to renewal, and how our industry can seize the big opportunities and overcome the big challenges it faces. We explored the intersection of te ao Māori and international education, how we can develop global citizenship, approaches to innovation and diversification, and tackling the climate challenge.

• Welcoming Michael Zhang to Team China

  Michael brings to the role 10 years of experience as a New Zealand diplomat. Throughout his professional career he has had a strong focus on China and an extensive record of working in the international education market in China. Having served as Acting Consul-General in Guangzhou and Deputy Consul-General in Chengdu, Michael has a deep understanding of the operating context in China. 

  Combined with his expertise in Chinese language and culture, Michael brings a highly valuable skillset at a critical time for the international education sector, says Lisa Futschek, GM International at ENZ. 

  “We will be very sorry to farewell Miranda Herbert, who has been with us since June 2019, but it’s exciting to have another highly qualified person for this important role,” Ms Futschek says. 

  Michael will undertake an induction programme in ENZ’s Wellington office from 5 September 2022 before visiting key international education providers in New Zealand, as well as NZ Inc agencies. He will relocate to Beijing from the end of September, for a three-week handover with Miranda and the ENZ team on the ground.

• Building links in Malaysia

  The college also formalised its collaboration with the University of Canterbury (UC) at the event, which was attended by the Chief Minister of Penang, Mr Chow Kon Yeow, and New Zealand’s High Commissioner to Malaysia, H.E Pam Dunn.  

  Mr Chow highlighted the importance of ensuring Malaysians have access to diverse education options that broaden their prospects as global citizens. 

  “The higher education sector plays an invaluable role in realising Malaysia’s targets of becoming a high-income nation,” he said.  

  Over the past two years, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao has focused on sustaining New Zealand’s global reputation through education and research partnerships, as well as leveraging digital tools to maximise learning experiences.  

  In Malaysia, this includes a programme launched by DISTED College in collaboration with UC, which allows eligible students to apply for a one-year advanced standing into UC’s Bachelor of Commerce degree. Students can also enter other UC programmes, including in engineering and science, via a range of pathway programmes offered by the college. 

  Mr Chow said cross-border collaborations like these, which allow students to begin their studies closer to home before seamlessly transitioning to a higher degree in New Zealand, significantly lower the cost and broaden the range of opportunities for Malaysian students. 

  Brian Imrie, Chief Executive Officer at DISTED College, is himself a New Zealander, and places high value on this opportunity from UC, for international students to explore the world and help solve future global challenges. Previous students have returned to Malaysia enthusiastic about their experience and the career opportunities it provided, he said. 

  Malaysia is one of New Zealand’s oldest and closest diplomatic partners in Southeast Asia, and this year marks 65 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

• NZ Centre agreement with Peking University renewed

  Established in 2007, the New Zealand Centre promotes strong academic engagement between New Zealand and China across diverse fields and builds mutual understanding between both countries. It is supported by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ). 

  A special event to mark the signing was jointly held at Peking University and at New Zealand's Parliament on 27 July 2022, hosted by Education Minister Chris Hipkins. Chinese Vice Minister of Education Tian Xuejun provided a speech, while New Zealand’s Ambassador to China, Clare Fearnley, took the opportunity to thank ENZ for funding migratory birds research, announcing this initiative during the ceremony.  Around 50 guests, including former New Zealand ambassadors to China and China experts from New Zealand’s universities, attended the Wellington event.

• Promoting a New Zealand education experience in Guangzhou
  General managers and directors from 25 education and tourism agencies attended a study tour development workshop on 15 August 2022, to identify and develop potential opportunities for New Zealand as a study tour destination for Chinese families.
  

  Workshop participants discussed opportunities to develop study tours to New Zealand for Chinese families.

  Several New Zealand education providers also participated, and the workshop reflected a strong collaborative effort by Tourism New Zealand and Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

  

  Education agents met with representatives of New Zealand institutions at the Guangzhou workshop.

  NZ Inc agencies again worked together to deliver a successful workshop for more than 50 education agents in Guangzhou later the same day. Representatives from 11 New Zealand education providers gave presentations and made the most of the opportunity to engage one-on-one with the education agents in a ‘speed dating’ format.

  “Guangzhou is an important education partner for New Zealand,” says Felix Ye, ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager who is based there. “It’s important for us to engage directly with key people in the sector, to raise the profile of New Zealand education given the full resumption of visa processing this month.

  “We took the opportunity to emphasise New Zealand’s commitment to providing quality education, supporting student wellbeing, and encouraging global citizenship, in line with the refreshed New Zealand International Education Strategy.”
