  • Education New Zealand welcomes new Board member

    Daniel was appointed to the Board on 13 December 2019 by Minister of Education Chris Hipkins.

    ENZ Board Chair Steve Maharey says the Board is delighted to welcome him to Education New Zealand.

    “Daniel comes to us from the school sector with a wide knowledge of education, experience in governance and a passion for international education. We are looking forward to his contribution at what is a challenging and exciting time,” Steve says.

    Daniel began his career as a music teacher in Auckland. He has been the principal at Nayland College since 2015, where he has overseen a transformational shift in the school’s pedagogy and learning environment. His work was recognised at the 2019 Prime Minister’s Education Excellence Awards, when the school was selected as one of four national finalists in the ‘Excellence in Leading’ category. The awards panel credited the school for initiating a “values-based learning revolution”.

    Under Daniel’s leadership at Nayland College, international student enrolment has increased by 40 percent. In 2020, the school will host 80 students from around the globe.

    Alongside his role at Nayland College, Daniel is also the lead principal and governance chairperson for the Top of the South Trades Academy. In his spare time, he is an accomplished brass musician, playing trombone in a variety of musical groups around Nelson and serving as president of Nelson City Brass.

  • Towards a low-carbon future – together

    The week-long programme was organised and funded to a large extent by DAAD (the German Academic Exchange Service), with the overall objective of deepening existing academic links and encouraging the development of new ones, under the theme of transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

    Led by ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson, delegates from New Zealand’s Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs) met with German academics, researchers, government officials and students in Bonn, Cologne, Aachen, Hamburg and Berlin.

    As an outcome of the trip, DAAD and the Kiwi delegates are working on an action plan that includes opportunities for cooperation between New Zealand researchers and their German counterparts, particularly on sustainability issues in line with the visit’s theme; a potential government-level arrangement to facilitate academic exchange; and possible funding for post-graduate student mobility.

    It was the first time that ENZ had brought such a senior research delegation to Germany.

    “Germany is one of New Zealand’s key education partners in Europe, with nearly 3000 German students travelling to New Zealand in 2018,” McPherson says. “However, alongside student recruitment, we’re renewing our focus on encouraging academic mobility between our two nations.”

    “This delegation was all about showcasing the excellence of New Zealand’s research institutions. Our academics produce world-class work, and teaming up with partners like Germany will only create more opportunity for researchers to solve some of the world’s biggest problems.”

  • COVID-19 – travel restrictions extended for 8 days

    15 February 2020

    This afternoon, New Zealand’s Minister of Health announced that the temporary restrictions on travel from China have been extended for a further 8 days as a precautionary measure to protect against the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.  

    The restrictions prevent foreign nationals travelling from, or transiting through, mainland China from entering New Zealand. This position will be reviewed every 48 hours. 

    The Ministry of Education has updated the information on its website for primary and secondary schools and tertiary providers. It includes advice for tertiary students and providers interested in blended learning options. It also provides contact information for the Human Rights Commission for those who experience racial or other discrimination related to coronavirus. 

    Immigration New Zealand has announced an extension to the ‘first entry before’ date on student visas for those unable to arrive in New Zealand due to travel restrictions.   

    NZQA has advised all signatories to the Pastoral Care of International Students Code of Practice of today’s decision. 

    ENZ continues to provide information and guidance to students and stakeholders. We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
