Networking starts at home
Space is limited to 50 people so be in quick.
“Wellington is the only location where all three agent groups will cross-over and be in the same place, at the same time,” says Sarah Gauthier, ENZ Regional Project Manager.
“This is your chance to meet and introduce yourself and your institution to 10 highly engaged agencies, without having to leave New Zealand.
“It will be a matter of first in, first served!
“It will be a great evening of networking and worthwhile conversations about New Zealand’s unique education experiences.”
While subject to change, the list of agents includes:
From Korea:
- Chongro Overseas Educational Institute (C.O.E.I)
- DnA Education
- Ilsan Uhak Centre
- EDM
From Saudi Arabia:
- IDP (Saudi Arabia)
- Pillars in Bloom
From Colombia:
- LAE International Studies
- Go Study Work and Travel
- Information Planet
- New Zealand Option/Australian Option Education
If you can’t make the Wellington event, fear not. The agents will travel separately across New Zealand on different programmes, which are still in development. We’ll be in touch if we are coming to your region or institution.
Sarah says one of ENZ’s biggest challenges is to sustainably grow the number of students choosing to study in New Zealand from a broader range of countries, and to see students study in a broader range of our cities and towns. This networking event is part of that endeavour.
Date: Friday 27 May
Time: 6:00 – 8:00PM
Cost: $30.00 pp
Venue: Shed 5, Queens Wharf, Wellington

Getting social with Loay Al Shareef
Loay profiles English-language destinations via Snapchat (30-50k views per video), Twitter (80k+ followers) and his YouTube channel Fallimha (600k subscribers).
He came here under ENZ’s Visiting Media Familiarisation Programme, and as part of a broader #yoursummerinNZ English-language campaign in Saudi Arabia.
Heidi Stedman, Communications Lead hosted the visit in her penultimate week at ENZ, with Sahinde Pala, Regional Programme Manager, taking up the reins for the Auckland leg.
Together with Loay and videographer Glen, they visited Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown to meet with Saudi students, sample local food and activities, and profile education options.
Loay's visit, with the #yoursummerinNZ campaign, successfully delivered. Together they generated an extra 13,000 Twitter followers for @nzeducationsa during the three-week campaign, prompted 8,600 tweets, and received more than 3,100 entries in a competition to study English in New Zealand.
English-language providers also reported enrolments coming directly from ENZ’s Twitter account during the campaign.
I met Loay for dinner with six Saudi students on his last night in Auckland,” said Peter Bull, ENZ General Manager - International.
“He talked endlessly about New Zealand, and how impressed he was with the education he'd seen.
“He connected really well with the students, and they reinforced for him how good their own New Zealand experience was.
“Ours was a story he clearly enjoyed telling.”

US students experience tikanga Māori on the high seas
Staff and students from the University of Auckland and the Auckland University of Technology enjoyed a day out with local Māori tourism operators Waka Quest Tours and Te Haerenga, which included sailing on the waka Haunui to Motutapu Island where they tasted a delicious hāngī and did some exploring.
ATEED’s International Product Development Manager, Keri Edmonds, says, “This sort of activity is designed to enhance the international student experience. A key focus for our team is to raise the awareness of our cultural offering to international students, and provide greater opportunity for them to connect with Auckland’s people and landscapes.”
“While it’s still early days for this pilot project, it was great to have the opportunity to test out some ideas, which was made possible by funding support from Education New Zealand’s Regional Partnership Programme.”
ATEED’s Māori Tourism Development Manager, Koro Carmen joined Keri on the day and commented, “It was an incredible day of engaging with locals, taking part in tikanga Māori activities and exploring some of Auckland’s iconic landscapes. This is a great example of Māori operators connecting and collaborating with our colleagues to enhance the visitor experience. We were even lucky enough to see several of the endangered takahē wandering around the island!”
Cities bid international students haere mai
Students from all over the world who are taking the first steps in their New Zealand education journey were extended a warm haere mai in Christchurch and Wellington recently.
A warm Wellington welcome
Around 600 new international students were welcomed to Wellington on Wednesday 16 March at a lively event at Pipitea Marae.
While the weather was cool, the Ngāti Pōneke pōwhiri was warm. The students – some wearing their national dress – were treated to a rousing kapa haka performance followed by a traditional Kiwi barbeque, and were given the chance to capture the moment in a Wellington-themed photo booth and take part in poi lessons.
The Mayor of Wellington, Celia Wade-Brown, welcomed the international students to the creative capital and promoted the opportunities for both study and work in the city.
The arrival of this most recent cohort boosts the international student population in Wellington to more than 5,600, injects an estimated additional $17 million in to the Wellington region’s economy and brings enormous cultural and social benefits to the region’s education institutions and communities.
A colourful Christchurch greeting

Students who have chosen Christchurch as their education destination were embraced in a similar style, at an event hosted by Christchurch Educated on Thursday 7 April.
A pōwhiri at the Te Puna Wānaka marae at Ara Institute of Canterbury set the warm and welcoming scene and was followed up by a greeting from Mayor Lianne Dalziel. During her address, Ms Dalziel acknowledged the important role played by Christchurch’s International Student Ambassadors; and referred to success of the Indian Skills Scholarships.
As in Wellington, the international students had the opportunity to pick up some kapa haka and poi skills.
Canterbury welcomes more than 9,500 international students each year, contributing an estimated $253 million to the regional economy.
New code for student care established
You are invited to contribute to the development of guidelines that will accompany the new Code.
Launched by Minister Joyce on 10 March, the new Code better reflects the outcomes expected by students and their families, and the high standards of student support that our industry seeks to maintain.
Find out more about the Code and the new contract disputes resolution scheme on the Ministry of Education’s website here.
As the administrator of the Code, NZQA is inviting our industry to contribute to the development of guidelines to help providers understand, in practical terms, what being a Code signatory involves and offer best-practice examples of pastoral care of international students.
Ensure your voice is heard as NZQA drafts these guidelines. As an industry we want to have a high bar of expected practice when it comes to the pastoral care of students. The guidelines should demonstrate examples of what good practice looks like and what, as an industry, you see as the minimum that should be expected.
The Ministry of Education, along with NZQA and Education New Zealand would like to acknowledge the important contribution many of you made to the development of the new Code by sharing your ideas and suggestions throughout the consultation process. It is through this sort of industry participation and commitment that New Zealand continues to be at the forefront of best practice in international student care.
We encourage you to take part in developing the guidelines.
Meet the Brazil expert
Ana took the opportunity to clarify the recently-introduced – and then removed – tax on international education fee transfers and gain insights from Maura on New Zealand’s competitive advantage in the Brazil market.
Ana: What is the Brazilian Educational and Language Travel Association (BELTA) is and what does it do?
Maura: BELTA is a non-profit organisation that works across Brazil. Launched in 1992, it was the first association working in the field of international education in Latin America. Today, BELTA agencies represent 75 percent of Brazil’s international education market. These agencies are committed to promoting, facilitating and delivering education and exchange services (educational and cultural programs of all kinds and for all ages, courses, internship and volunteer work programs), in Brazil and overseas. BELTA is often asked to share its experiences with other countries to help them organize their own associations.
Besides promoting Study and Exchange Travel, BELTA monitors the standard of services offered by its associated companies, evaluating their performance from both a student and international partner organisation perspective. Only agency partners of the highest integrity and who agree to abide by the Association’s Social Statute and rigid Code of Ethics are allowed to join BELTA.
Along with the Board of Directors, I am responsible for ensuring BELTA functions correctly, and for representing the Brazilian market to international government and education entities. BELTA is a member of the Federation of Agencies Associations, and I am its president for the next four years.
The income tax on international transfers relating to educational purposes (such as student exchange programmes) has recently been in the news. The Brazilian government has now announced that it will not charge those transfers. Would you clarify and comment on that?
At the start of January the Brazilian government decided to end the tax exemption for payments due abroad. The proposed rate for the new tax was between 6.38 percent and 33 percent. Fortunately, on 26 January 2016, the Department of Federal Revenue published that study abroad programs would be exempt from the new tax.
Brazilian students are now able to plan their international exchange programs with the knowledge that they will not have to pay this tax. This good news for our New Zealand partners!
We know the weakening of the Brazilian Real in relation to the American dollar and the Euro has had an impact on the demand for education abroad to those destinations. Do you believe that New Zealand may be a more desirable study destination in the current economic scenario?
New Zealand has a big market in Brazil because of the favourable exchange rate and the high quality of the education. The opportunity to work while studying is also very appealing for Brazilian students. All of these conditions combined places New Zealand in a special position as a destination for the Brazilian student.
Brazilian students are looking for qualifications that will help them succeed in the challenging job market. They are looking for postgraduate and specialized programs that will position them well in the job market, when the Brazilian economy is back on track. New Zealand is well-placed to fulfil this demand.
What’s your connection to New Zealand? What’s your view of New Zealand as an education destination for Brazilian students and what advice you would give to NZ institutions wanting to attract Brazilian students?
I have visited New Zealand as part of my job, visiting a range of education institutions. I have also had the opportunity to visit the country with my family as a tourist. It offers great education and lifestyle opportunities for students and fantastic tourism experiences.
Students are able to live in a very safe environment, can choose from a great variety of high quality institutions and subject areas, in all kinds of cities or towns. And all within a country with beaches and mountains, fields and farms, with very hospitable and well-educated people.
New Zealand is a top education destination and I love its people! This is my very personal opinion!

Institutions wanting to receive Brazilian students should:
- offer high quality academic programmes and excellent facilities, including accommodation
- work with high-quality agencies
- promote the school regularly throughout the year
- offer good advice on visa processes
- be open and understanding to the cultural differences between New Zealand and Brazil.

Sports education opportunities opening up in India
India’s Delhi University women’s football team training with the Asia Pacific Football Academy at Lincoln University is an early example of growing activities between India and New Zealand sports education providers.
While the Delhi University project is helping building connections at institutional level, there are opportunities emerging across a range of sports education and related disciplines.
According to one recent industry report, sports spending in India is outpacing the country’s relatively high economic growth rates.
India’s Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) has a focus – and a NZ$370 million annual budget – to develop sports in India.
Every Indian school with more than 100 students is expected to employ a part-time physical education (PE) instructor. When this legislative requirement is fully implemented, millions of physical education instructors and teachers must be trained or up-skilled.
The Indian government has also said it will setup sports institutes, with private sector support, in every district of the country. Private sector involvement in sports education is on the rise.India is also broadening the types of sports it plays.
The first edition of the Elite Football League of India (EFLI) kicked off late last year - matches were beamed to 70 million homes across India.
Based on the current trends in India, and interest from the Indian system, the following disciplines and areas could be explored for opportunities in India:
- Sports management
- Physical education in schools
- High performance centres
- Sport science and medicine.
Education New Zealand’s New Delhi office helped Delhi and Lincoln universities and the Asia Pacific Football Academy get their partnership underway.
