• Indigenous to indigenous education: Shaping global futures together at WIPCE

  The conference, hosted by Auckland University of Technology, brought together participants from around the world for rich discussions on how Indigenous knowledge systems and leadership continue to shape global futures. Keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive sessions showcased the transformative potential of indigenous-led education. 

  A major focus of the gathering was to create pathways for mobility and partnership that uplift Indigenous students worldwide.  

  Attendees explored strategies for student exchanges, co-designed programmes, Indigenous-led research and teaching partnerships, and long-term relationship building across institutions.  

  These conversations laid the foundation for future initiatives that will enable Māori and Indigenous learners to connect across borders, deepen cultural understanding, and access education that reflects their identities and aspirations. 

  Beyond the formal programme, WIPCE created space for whakawhanaungatanga through shared kai (food), cultural exchange, and informal connection—reinforcing the relational foundations of Indigenous leadership: trust, reciprocity, and shared purpose.  

  ENZ Māori Advisor Āriana Ngarimu-Goldsmith represented ENZ in discussions and sessions at WIPCE and said the experience highlighted the strength of collective action.  

  “There is great power in coming together and uplifting one another, as we work towards a future where indigenous education is centred, valued, and celebrated.” 

  Pre-WIPCE hui in Tāmaki Makaurau 

  In partnership with APAIE (Asia-Pacific Association for International Education), ENZ Manapou ki te Ao hosted a pre-WIPCE gathering on 14 November in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. The hui brought together indigenous connectors from across Aotearoa, Australia, Canada and USA to share, wānanga, and prepare collectively for WIPCE 2025. 

  Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei opened the hui with mana and aroha, setting the tone for a day of genuine connection, respect, and belonging. 

  Attendees shared collective aspirations and challenges within the education systems, reinforcing a collective commitment to tackle structural inequities, elevate culture and identity as foundations for learner success, and strengthen indigenous-to-indigenous connections globally.  

  

  Ed Tuari (Manukura – Chief Advisor Māori) facilitated discussions exploring what is front-of-mind for participants as they moved toward WIPCE 2025.

  

  The wānanga format intentionally moved away from “stand and deliver” presentations, instead fostering an open space for reflection, dialogue, and shared learning.

• Kiwi scholars to gain international skills

  The scholarships, funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand, support recent graduates or current students to undertake study, research or internships at institutions in Latin America and Asia, including Brazil, Mexico, China, India and Japan.

  Awardees in this round (2019-2020 Round Two) are in fields including languages, law, business, health, sustainability and the arts. They will attend for periods ranging from four weeks to one year.

  The scholarships enable a wide range of educational experiences, including: a cultural exchange and internship programme for Māori and Pasifika graduates in Vietnam; a group of arts and design students who will attend a course on the economic and cultural significance of modest fashion at the Islamic Fashion Institute in Indonesia; and an internship with an Indian charity supporting the health and education of street children in Jaipur.  

  ‘’A key aspect of international education is sending New Zealand learners out to the world to gain all-important global skills and experience,’’ says ENZ’s Director Student Experience and Global Citizens, Partnerships and Marketing, Sahinde Pala.

  “When they return, they bring new perspectives and expertise with them, helping to grow New Zealand’s international networks and inter-cultural awareness.’’

  Most awardees undertake programmes that can be credited back to their New Zealand qualification. Similarly, international internships are usually part of their home institution’s work integrated learning programme, Sahinde says.

  Background

  PMSA and PMSLA support the Government’s International Education Strategy: to build a thriving and globally connected New Zealand through international education.

  A total of 2,399 young New Zealanders have taken part since the programme was launched in 2013, initially for Asia (PMSA), and extended to Latin American (PMSLA) in 2016.

  The full list of PMSA and PMSLA recipients from this round is on the Education New Zealand website: PMSA recipients and PMSLA recipients. Information on past PMSA and PMSLA recipients can be found here.

  How to apply

• Celebrating excellence: ENZ hosts inaugural New Zealand Universities Awards in Viet Nam

  The event highlighted New Zealand’s commitment to supporting Vietnamese students and reaffirmed the strong education partnership between the two countries during the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations. 

  The NZUA programme was officially announced by Prime Minister Rt Hon Christopher Luxon during a visit to Viet Nam earlier this year. It is the first New Zealand Government-backed undergraduate scholarship exclusively for Vietnamese students.  

  Following a competitive selection process, eight outstanding high school students were awarded the inaugural NZUA scholarships. Each recipient distinguished themselves not only through academic excellence but also through their personal aspirations, resilience, and commitment to engaging with the world.  

  At the ceremony, the students were formally presented with their scholarship certificates by Trade Commissioner Scott James and ENZ Regional Director – Asia (excluding China), Ben Burrowes. The celebration was witnessed by families, representatives from New Zealand universities and education agencies. 

  In his address, Scott highlighted the significance of this milestone.  

  “The inaugural NZUA cohort are not only exceptional students, but also cultural and intellectual bridges between our two nations. They stand as a vivid testament to the strong and enduring educational partnership between Viet Nam and New Zealand,” he said.  

  Ben also emphasised the value of the programme. 

  “The NZUA scholarship reflects the spirit of valuing both knowledge and people – a core principle of New Zealand’s education system. 

  “We are proud to welcome the first generation of NZUA Vietnamese students to New Zealand’s leading universities, where they will grow, integrate, and contribute to the shared progress of our world,” he said. 

  A particularly symbolic moment of the ceremony was the connection ritual between university representatives and the scholarship recipients. Students received congratulatory gifts and placed stars on a map of New Zealand to mark the cities and universities where they will soon study – a visual representation of the “first steps” of the NZUA generation.  

  

  Among the recipients, Do Tran Phuong Uyen said that she feels the scholarship is much more than financial support.  

  “It represents belief – belief in our potential, our dreams, and our ability to contribute to our communities and to the ongoing relationship between Viet Nam and New Zealand,” she said.  

  “It shows that young Vietnamese students can become leaders, innovators, and responsible global citizens,” Do added. 

  

  Parents also expressed their trust and confidence in New Zealand’s education system.  

  Ho Tuyen Truyen, father of recipient Ho Nhu Quynh Chi, said he places his full trust in New Zealand’s safe, high-quality education system.  

  “I believe that in this environment, my child will be nurtured with knowledge, resilience, and compassion,” he said. 

   As the first NZUA cohort prepares to begin their journeys, the scholarship stands as a powerful symbol of New Zealand’s commitment to Viet Nam’s young talent.  

  These students are poised to become influential ambassadors, helping to strengthen educational collaboration and foster deeper people-to-people connections between New Zealand and Viet Nam.
