“It’s been fantastic to witness the growth of student numbers from the Philippines and a big focus for us now is working alongside our key partners to ensure the momentum continues,” said Ben Burrowes, ENZ Regional Communications Manager, South East Asia.
The Philippines saw an 83% growth in student numbers in 2015, making it New Zealand’s fastest growing international student market.
New Zealand and the Philippines are also celebrating 50 years of bilateral relations this year.
David Strachan, the New Zealand Ambassador to the Philippines, hosted an anniversary event after the seminar. Guests included New Zealand providers, agents, alumni and a number of other key partners based in Cebu.
