    (iii) whether they act with integrity and professionalism in their dealings with prospective and enrolled international tertiary learners; and  

    (iv) whether they have engaged in any activity or conduct that, in the opinion of the signatory, is or may be in breach of the law or that jeopardises the signatory’s compliance with this code; and  

    (d) managing the education agents by –  

    (i) terminating contracts with an agent if there is evidence which, on balance of probabilities, shows that the education agent –  

    a. has been involved in any serious, deliberate, or ongoing conduct that is false, misleading, deceptive, or in breach of the law; or 

    b. has jeopardised the signatory’s compliance with this code; or 

    (ii) taking appropriate action to address misconduct by act or an omission by an education agent in relation to the other matters described in subclause (c); and

  • Pathway Programme forging valuable connections with Capital students

    The 2020 pilot programme saw graduate alumni working in the Greater Wellington region connect with tertiary students focused on pathways to employment. The 2021 programme now connects secondary students interested in further study with international tertiary students.

    These tertiary students are trained in the fundamentals of mentoring leadership and active listening. They can offer valuable insights into tertiary life to help secondary students make informed choices.

    Through catch ups, students will be able to share their journey including challenges, hints and tips, and a realistic view on transitioning into tertiary education. The connection can be online or face-to-face.

     WellingtonNZ International Education Specialist Sarah Grant is excited to launch the Pathways Connect Programme and wants to see more secondary students take up the opportunity within the Greater Wellington region.

    She says the programme recently had its first match and both mentor and mentee found it to be a rewarding experience.

    “They were able to communicate freely and discussed studying tips for tertiary education, what it was like to study and how a tertiary education differed to secondary.”

    Sarah says the programme has a great cohort of mentors waiting to meet and offer advice to students.

  • Masterclass opportunity in Japan

    Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education will be hosting a virtual study abroad event on 23 of September, connecting secondary school students in Tokyo and beyond with tertiary institutions from Australia and New Zealand.

    This half-day event will feature lectures in an interactive format so providers can engage with Japanese students. Selected tertiary institutions will also have an opportunity to work with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education to produce additional content introducing their institutions and programmes to prospective international students. 

    Recordings will be made for the virtual study abroad event and will be shared on the Tokyo English Channel website which will launch in June 2021.

    “This is a great opportunity for Education New Zealand and New Zealand tertiary providers to work with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education to co-develop educational materials for the Japanese secondary school students. The content produced for the event will also be shared at future promotional events hosted by Education New Zealand and the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo.” ENZ Director of Education – Japan, Misa Kitaoka, says.

    Director at the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, Yuki Sato, looks forward to receiving proposals from the New Zealand providers.

    “We are excited to work with New Zealand tertiary institutions to showcase the virtual study abroad event offering Tokyo secondary school students an opportunity to connect with the world and enhance their communication skills in English. Students can expect of learn new ways of thinking from the lecturers and interact with other participants from around the world, including New Zealand.”   

    Education New Zealand signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education in 2017 to promote education exchange and cooperation between Tokyo and New Zealand. Since then, a range of projects have been initiated between the two parties including the co-development of online education material for intermediate English learners through the Tokyo Global Studio.

    For further details on the opportunity, please download the proposal by the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education. Expression of interest is due on 25 of May and the selected provides will be contacted by Education New Zealand by the 31 of May.
